Pantheon Nexus Complete

7 customer reviews

Original price was: $323.00 – $418.00.Current price is: $296.00 – $391.00.

The Nexus is our stiffest double drop longboard. It is low to the ground and easy to push, but it’s also stiff enough to handle just about any speed you could possibly throw at it, and it’s strong enough to manage very heavy riders edging toward 350 lbs. If you’re a heavyweight OR if you want to go fast on your double drop OR if you’re looking for an easy longboard to start learning more advanced skills like sliding, the Nexus is a perfect choice.

Picking a Complete

Because we like to ride the Nexus fast, our favorite complete for the Nexus consists of 165mm trucks in the 50/43 configuration. This puts a high degree turning truck in front, and a slightly lower degree in back for increased stability. This is ideal if you’re going to be riding your Nexus fast and especially on hills. For lower speeds and a smaller turning radius, choose the 50/50 options. Pair your Nexus with 165mm trucks to get as close to rail matching as possible, lining up the edge of your wheels with the edge of the deck.

Other conigurations: Choose 165mm 50/50 for learning freeride techniques. Choose 165mm 43/43 for higher speed freeride. Either of these setups will allow you to pull 180s and easily ride switch.

    I’m at 6’3″ 220lbs. I love this board. I took it out to a park with some rolling hills and it was like the most spiritually significant moment of my life. It glides and cruises and carves so smooth. It moves so fast on McFlys. It’s hella stable… especially downhill on purple o-tang nips, and feels super roomy for my big clumsy feet. It’s a bit on the heavier side but it’s not enough to me to matter… but I knew that before I bought it. Last double drop I’ll ever buy, it can’t possibly get better.

    I bought the Nexus to learn some downhill and sliding. I’m not a big heavy guy, yet I have big feet and long legs. I like the extra length of the platform (compared to the Prana and Trip). I find that with the extra space/length, I can better switch between regular and mongo pushing than I can on my Prana. The Nexus is certainly chunky and heavy, yet once you get some momentum it just doesn’t matter.
    I’m making some progress with my hands-down slides, which makes me happy. Keen to progress some more.
    Currently equiped with PP 69mm Snakes for slides.

    I gotta say for my first longboard the nexus would be my go to choice, I seriously love this board. I’ve been skating it for about 5 months now and pantheon is the best longboard company out here. I just bought the Pranayama and I am so excited to be skating it all the love to pantheon I seriously recommend getting the nexus, amazing stability on hillbombs amazing comfort on cruising and insane speed paired with the 92 karmas not much left to say besides the love I have for this board 100 percent will be buying more boards from you guys. Much love ✌️

    Great stable board smooth ride. I had a little wheelbite, but with great advice from Jeff on selecting 1inch diameter Bushings for my weight issue was instantly resolved. I would recommend a buy for this board!!!

    Fantastic board! Great service and advice. I got some wheel bite and got great advice from Jeff. Bought some seismic hard and extra hard 1” bushings and problem resolved. I mixed the bushings to get some more rebound without bite.

    I just received my Nexus with 92mm Karma wheels and a 50° front, 43° rear configuration. I could not be happier with how this board has turned out. I am used to a top mount setup, and the double drop makes pushing so much easier. The wheels are fantastic, so much speed and they roll over anything. I am a heavier rider, so I swapped the stock bushings for Seismic Midnights (97a) and I haven’t had any issues with wheel-bite. This is an extremely high quality setup and I would highly recommend it!

    I just got into long boarding. I’m almost 50 years old and my kids got me a Santa Cruz drop through board for Father’s Day. I took that board camping and had so much fun cursing around the campground, I immediately bought a couple more boards when I got home.

    My collection of boards now includes the Santa Cruz board, a Landyachtz Rallycat FG, and the Pantheon Nexus. The Nexus is easily my favorite of the three boards. It’s so smooth and fast, goes over everything with the Karma wheels, and carves nicely. As I’m new, I haven’t really tried sliding with it yet, but I plan on getting some additional wheels to give that a go.

    One recommendation: Don’t stick with the stock bushings that come with the Paris V3 trucks. You’ll need to really tighten them down to avoid wheel bite. I put some Riptide Canon’s on my board and it feels so much better and I can’t force wheel bite if I tried. I’m told Seismic Barrels are also a great choice.
