- Did you know some skaters haven’t even tried street wheels? Urethane adds a whole new level of precision and responsiveness to riding your Evolve and we are about to tell you all the reasons why you need a conversion kit under the tree this Christmas.

Evolve is not just a lifestyle, it’s life, where style is the option
over 2 years later, i still watch this video
another GREAT video guys! i started with ATs too, and then switched to urethane and im absolutely IN LOVE.. love all the different options and the agility and aggressiveness your wheels have to offer.. if anyone is contemplating on getting an evolve, and dont know if its worth the money, contact me and ill be more than happy to explain why/how they are 100% worth it. i also own many different esk8 boards, so i have the comparison experience
Got my board today. Love it!
Carbon GTR and orange wheels OMG such a beautiful combination, although I use the 107's the orange 97's are the king of looks.
I have both but Street for sliding is so much more fun. The practising and now learning more about the balance between breaking. Nice vid guys! Need more colours 🤗
If you want an awesome sliding experience, try 7” AT’s on hard beach sand. It is so much fun 👌
It's about time you guys offered a nice 'crossover' wheel in your range...
110/112mm , foam core with a tread pattern!
😎🤙🏻
Riding on the smooth road with 107mm + 32T gives me the feeling of spreading the butter 🧈 while carving. Sometimes AT and sometimes Street wheels just like changing your dress code 😂… both AT & street wheels always give me 200% satisfaction!
If someone wants the best wheels available, get some 72A Torqueboards 110mm wheels. You'll never want anything else.
That shits so true 🙏
opposite. takes away agility..takes away power.. so soft it doesnt take rough streets well at all and breaks traction with a decently hard carve.. u use a 97mm 90mm or 85, u can have top agility, power, and if its a good wheel like caguama, boa, and evolve, u can break traction and still hold the carve because its predictable.. 110s are not..
I started on an original gt and moved to the gtr after I was hit and totaled the last board... I almost never use my al terrain wheels on either board, street is the way to go for sure. With the speed and acceleration, it's so much better also it can make a huge difference with range. It's also a little scary so u gotta get used to it... but it's totally worth trying!!!!
Great video. I have about 8 months of riding (250 miles per month) on my 107s. Most riding is fast on very smooth asphalt. 6 months in I started seeing some minor "chunking" on the back wheels so I rotated them to the front. Grip seems fine but I am keeping any eye on the wear. Do you have any guidance on when chunking is a cause for wheel replacement? Thanks!
Hi Tom, You can get away with quite a lot of chunking all around the edges before a wheel needs to be replaced. Keep an eye on cracks forming deeper in the urethane so you don't have any large blowouts.
Got to love street.😉
ABEC11 is definitely gonna be my next set of wheels
How about sending my some wheels and gears to test them out???
I just loaded some 107s on my board! Gonna let er rip at high speed.
Thanks for this video. I love riding my traditional cruiser with urathane wheels but was wondering what they are really like on an e-skate.
lots of great info
Glad you think so!
One thing about street wheels you guys dont mention ( i think) is zero maintenance. Street wheels need no care at all, they just keep going. VERY reliable .
I occasionally commute on my MTB and I get flat tyres all the time (once a week ) and I run tubeless tyres too .
How often do the AT wheels get flatties ?
I live in outback Australia, I used to get flats all the time on my Mountain bike, until I changed to tubeless, maybe you need a better quality sealant, that said I started on street wheels on my board, went to AT wheels and haven't looked back, never had a flat and I don't care what I ride through. it was a worry of mine too, but so far no flats. and I am due to replace the rear tyres due to wear.
Any plans on a successor to the gtr? It's motors are a few generations old now
It definitely sucks when they overheat bumping you down to pro mode
My girlfriend wants to know where you get your eyebrows done ?
I had no idea that there was so much difference between those wheels!
Street wheels for life. ... abec 107mm to be exact
I just purchased the 107 for my GTX, if I feel like I want a smaller wheel can I buy just the wheels themselves or do I need another full conversion kit and fork out the coin?
Looking at my Evovle 97mm wheels and it looks like the same Abec gear pattern, so I would think you could just order another set of wheels and install them.
Although, on my old Loaded Vanguard I have the Orange Orangatang Caguamas and they have a completely different gear cog setup. But even so, I believe you should be able to order just the Orangatang gear cog and install it, if you wanted Orangatang wheels. Same size and teeth count I believe. So you shouldn’t need different belts.
Guys whats up with the flimsy Bamboo GTR deck? Are they not meant for a street ride, aka going over curbs here and there? Broke my board in half, might have died.
The decks are 3ply Bamboo 2ply fibreglass and are super strong in comparison to a standard longboard deck. Check in with you local service team as riding street shouldn't cause any problems.
I had streets wheels but I have a bunch of cracks on my streets. I fell a few times lol
👏🏼
Nice video 👍 ABEC11 look very good, like a hot rod wheels.
Any idea if Evolve have a new board coming out in the near future?
Great! Thanks! 😊🍀🌟
Both wheels are just as fun in my opinion
I wanna get street wheels, but I've never tried them on an eskate so not sure if their worth it. Is there any way to test them out?
Nice good comparison
Urethane preferred!
I need some of these. There just so pricey. Some of the colours look so sick
97mm crack/split easily so don't waste your money. Trying the 107s next
Only if you ride very aggressively. After one or two set of wheels you learn to preserve them over 100's of km. Some people lose huge chunks of their wheels in the first ride it's due to lack of experience.
my 97s are perfectly fine and i ride aggressively. same for my buddy tom thats sponsored by them. his 97s are over a year old
i have exactly the opposite opinion my 107's lastest a few weeks before starting to crack i got a set of 97's thats 3 years old still perfect and i don't slide just carve every now and then
This is a common issue so hopefully people research instead of listening to these fan boys lmao. These wheels are way too soft and I'm done paying for replacements 👎
Why no rubber wheels in smaller diameter (90mm and under?)
Rubber wear faster than urethane so durability won't be great, also without them being pneumatic, you lose a lot of the benefits.
I'm sold
Would you recommend puncture prevention fluid on the AT wheels?
no, it has inner tube, better to carry tools and quicksetglue/patch kit or carry extra inner tubes
Your "32 tooth sprocket" is actually 33 tooth!
At least the ones on my Evolve board are definitely 33 tooth.
Please check this out, it's dumb to NOT COUNT the teeth on your own product!
(Otherwise I love my Evolve board)
There was a handful of 33T's out there, but they are all 32 now!
@@evolveSkateboards Thanks for the reply! That's the first official word I have seen on that issue. 👍
Everyone should count their pulley teeth to make sure, because if it's a 33 it makes the speedo read about 3% faster than actual speed (like my board with the 107 street wheels).
150mm+ rubber tires are superior compared to PU tires.. only good at PUs are better acceleration because of small wheel and less battery drain.
40% more range seems a bit steep. I'm getting similar range with my underinflated AT wheels as the 97mm urethane riders.
Perhaps check your belt tensions on street, and ensure your wheel/gear settings are updated. The difference between street and underinflated AT is HUGE.
@@evolveSkateboards Yep usually inflate upon noticing also makes the board feel like new again. I'll pass on the advice, but I just like to think they aren't efficient riders like me, ha.
@@vacantblock It doesn't really matter how you ride you will always get way more range on street.
