Bamboo GTR Review: • Evolve Bamboo GTR review!
Evolve's Cabon GTR is my new favorite electric longboard. It's my new go to. It's super sleek. It's fast. Range is great. Controller is... ok. Wish this thing went backwards.
What other boards should I take a look at?
Big thanks to my brother Doron for the help on this one: / doronsheffer

you should try EXWAY! Exway makes boards go break and backwards just like boosted if you turn the "Free Mode" on in its settings. And they are working on a all terrain board as far as I know, so I think it will be a great competitor to Evolve!

@@ali94hn but for 1/4 of the price it's not to be sniffed at. I love my GTR (bamboo) but when the brakes engaged by themselves and sent me flying it had to be sent in for repairs. Now have the exway flex as my backup board if this ever has to go in for repairs. Both are decent boards... Evolve excels with the trucks. That's one thing that sucks about exway, if they used double kingpins that would make them more competitive imo.. looking into the surf adapter to make it more like double kingpins, it's hard switching between the 2 I just gravitate towards the double kingpins so yeah hopefully the surf adapter will make the flex carve better.

@@coolstar2398 can’t say of the ride on AT wheels. Carbon is thinner (maybe faster for this), stiffer (again - depending on layup), and sure looks nice. Weight diff is negligible, cep maybe for hauling back up the hill. But that stiffness comes at a cost - with every minor road/wheel vibration coming up to the feets. Not an opinion - it’s just the way carbon-lam is. Carbon is a hard rain.

Great reviews! Love these boards and it was an instant addiction. I’ve bought two ( barely) used carbon GTR in the last month. One is AT and the other street. I wanna get about 6 or 8 more boards now. I’m doing all small errands with the board now and my v8 truck stays parked at home where it should. I wanna get a hadean but I’m really hoping evolve comes out with a new board stepping it up with battery capacity mainly. Other company’s are already offering larger batteries but it seems like evolve has the nicest looking boards and by far the best remote? with the Hadean. Thanks for the great reviews I watched before buying.

If you’re into speed, the backfire zealot is an awesome belt drive budget board with a top speed of 28.5mph. Not quite the same range but will still get you 14-17miles. They come stock with 96mm wheels but you can put 105mm or 120mm aftermarket wheels on. And they started making kegal pulleys. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a reverse function like the boosted boards, it can go in reverse but you have to flip a switch on the controller.

It looks really sweet, I am just worried about 2 things: 1. Reversing, as you mentioned, seems very important for that complete stop and adjustments without getting off the board. 2. Battery replacement/life. One of the great things of boosted was the replacable battery. This could give you a 100% refill in a second with a second battery. How easily replaceable is the battery on this board? Overall it's really sweet, but for $2000+, it needs to be almost perfect.

10 screws to open up the carbon and put in a new battery. Takes maybe 5-10 minutes. But with a battery that big its rare you use a full charge let alone want a whole second battery

So these are now like less than $1,000.. do you know if the GTR board they sell now is the same as this one? It seems the same I just don't understand them cutting the price in less than half... Somebody please help me I really wanna buy one but don't wanna get the wrong board

Have a look at the new Wowgo AT2 which according to early reviews match or beat the Evolves, especially in price but of course not in terms of support. Also features smart turn on of the board from the remote and a scroll wheel.

I love both my Evolve GTR’s... bought the Carbon first after I watched your review among other, since then I’ve also bought the Bamboo. My Carbon has the light Blue 97 mm wheels currently equipped, Bamboo has the 6” AT tires with dark blue hubs. I also have the 107’s and a second set of 97’s and two sets of 7” AT tires. Can’t wait to try the 107’s once I get back from deployment. Could you do a review of the Bustin V2 Sportster X+? That’s another board I own and I love it as well, you don’t see that one often reviewed on KZfaq compared to Evolve and other boards. Bustin is located out of NYC too.

Thanks for the video and review! How about looking at the Lacroix Lonestar or one of the smaller ones. I see many picking these up in San Francisco.

Are you thinking about reviewing the ONSRA Black Carve? It is a board that youtuber Fabi made and is the same or better then the evolve gtr.

Paul Hunter like I said, I only saw an ad so I have no idea if it’s good or not but apparently it’s pretty cheap, thin, and has a long range. I’d be curious in seeing a review from Sam
