🛠️ What’s the difference between the original Evolve trucks, SuperCarve 1, and SuperCarve 2?Updated 10 hours ago

Over the years, Evolve has developed several truck designs, each improving on stability, control, and carving feel. Here’s a clear breakdown of the differences so you know what sets each one apart.


🔩 Original Evolve Trucks (GTR Series 1 era)

These were used on earlier boards like the GT and GTR Series 1 as well as Stoke Series 1.

Key characteristics:

  • Narrower stance

  • Simpler geometry

  • Good carving feel at lower speeds

  • Less stability at higher speeds compared to newer designs

These trucks laid the foundation for Evolve’s carving style, but rider feedback showed room for improvement in stability and control.


🌀 SuperCarve 1 Trucks

SuperCarve 1 was the first major evolution of Evolve’s truck geometry and was used on boards like the GTR Series 2 and Hadean.

What changed:

  • Updated geometry for better high-speed stability

  • Improved turning control without losing carve

  • More predictable handling compared to original trucks

SuperCarve 1 struck a strong balance between stability and manoeuvrability and remains a very capable setup.


⚡ SuperCarve 2 Trucks (Latest generation)

The SuperCarve 2 trucks are the most advanced Evolve trucks to date and are designed for riders who want maximum control, smooth transitions, and deep carving.

Key upgrades:

  • 20mm wider than SuperCarve 1 for increased stability

  • Revised front and rear axle assemblies

  • Updated axle design and geometry

  • Double kingpin design for smooth, deep turns

  • Forged and CNC-machined for strength and precision

The geometry changes are the biggest difference — SuperCarve 2 significantly improves stability at speed without compromising carveability. The ride feels more controlled, smoother, and more confidence-inspiring across all terrain.


✅ Compatibility (SuperCarve 2)

SuperCarve 2 trucks are compatible with:

  • Diablo

  • Hadean

  • GTR Series 2

  • Stoke X

Important notes:

  • Must be paired with the 3500W motor plates (not included)

  • Require SuperCarve 2 drive gears (sold individually, two required)

  • Not compatible with boards using 1500W motors

  • Not compatible with GT or GTR Series 1 setups


🏁 Summary

  • Original Evolve trucks: Good carve, less high-speed stability

  • SuperCarve 1: Improved geometry, better balance of stability and carve

  • SuperCarve 2: Widest stance, revised geometry, maximum stability and smooth carving
