The difference between Carbon and BambooUpdated 25 days ago

At their core, Carbon and Bamboo Evolve boards share the same electrics, range, and performance (within each series). The key difference? The deck material—and that changes how the board feels under your feet.


Bamboo Deck – Smooth, Flexible, and Playful

Bamboo decks are flexible, absorbing bumps and vibrations from the road—almost like built-in suspension. This creates a smoother ride that feels more like a traditional longboard.

✅ More forgiving – The flex helps smooth out rough terrain.
✅ Easier to turn – Feels natural and intuitive, especially for carving.
Great for beginners – The flex makes the ride more comfortable and predictable.

If you love cruising, carving, and a surf-like feel, the Bamboo deck is the way to go.


Carbon Deck – Stiff, Stable, and Built for Speed

Carbon decks are rigid, meaning there’s zero flex—it’s like standing on concrete. The only movement comes from the trucks, which makes for a more stable ride, especially at high speeds or off-road.

✅ Better for speed – The stiffness keeps you locked in for stability.
✅ Dropdown design – Allows you to plant your feet securely.
Ideal for off-road – No flex means better control on rough terrain.

If you’re into high-speed riding, off-road adventures, or aggressive carving, the Carbon deck delivers the ultimate stability and control.
