My 3rd Evolve and they just keep getting better!
First off, I'm a larger rider - 6'1, 210lbs, and torque is the first thing I'm looking for in a board. I live in an area with a ton of hills and previous boards have always let me down. The Diablo finally gets it right in every way, but especially torque. I can ride basically anywhere with this board and hills just aren't a concern anymore. The Phase remote is in a class by itself. I have other ESK8s besides Evolve and the fit and finish of everything, but especially the remote, is in a class of it's own. I swapped my wheels to Cloudwheels Explorer 135s, and that's the perfect sweet spot for this board on really rough pavement. My only request is that Evolve would make a proper "between" wheel, like the Explorer or Onsra wheel. Their 97mm is super soft and chunks far too easily to justify the cost, the 87mm is a little too small and you'll scrape on a lot of seems and rough pavement, and the AT wheels are great for AT, but take too much of a range hit. A 115-135 is perfect for this board and for those of us outside of perfect pavement.
