Had a Stoke series 1 and loved it. Have a Hadean Bamboo and love it. The Stoke X sounded perfect.
However, straight out of the box you notice you no longer have a remote case, or the tidy all briefcase. Ok Evolve cashing in on marketing success by reducing their premium feel quality and cost? Fair enough - albeit seen KTM do that to their detriment.
The ride. In my opinion the the deck too stiff - Supercarve Truck geometry no different just wider but build cost clearly is reduced and they are too wide for the Stoke X deck. The width Ok for Hadean or Diablo but I expect Mark 2 DKP Super carve truck weaker than the Mark 1. Hmmmm.
Not going well so far will reduce review to three stars.
The truck bolts appear to be made of a weird chromium looking chinese heese. The hex head melts with any pressure.....
All in all a little disappointed appear to have gone down the route of building to a price point - despite the fact marketing seems to have made Evolve a premium brand
