100% Forged Carbon Deck
Underfoot, you'll find a 100% ultra-rigid forged carbon deck. It offers no flex, but it delivers absolute stability. The shape integrates a discreet micro-drop, a subtle central concave, and a premium finish that inspires confidence.
The result? A board that holds its own at high speeds. It is free from unwanted vibrations and delivers a true surf feeling, a distinct departure from the snowboard-like style of the Bamboo version.
7.000 W and EFOC 2.0
The 6374 motors, each boasting 3.500 W of power, are paired with the EFOC 2.0 controller. This advanced system expertly manages power peaks, cell balancing, and thermal protection. To prevent overheating, Corsa mode automatically limits power after 8 seconds at full load.
- Eco: perfect for stress-free learning
- Sport: already incredibly dynamic
- Corsa: brace yourself, it rips!
Super Carve 2 and 7-inch Tires
The Super Carve 2 trucks provide impeccable stability at high speeds and a precise carving feel. The 175 mm (7") tires ensure excellent grip, even on rough or uneven roads.
This board is clearly built for riders who demand the best.
Stiff, Direct, Race-Ready
The Diablo Carbon offers a radically different experience from the Bamboo version: more stable, more direct, and more "race-ready," though slightly less comfortable. It's an ideal board for long straightaways, heavier riders, or enthusiasts who demand precise carving.
Solid and exceptionally well-built, it confirms Evolve's mastery in the high-end segment.

A Premium Product
The forged carbon deck, with its integrated LED light strip, screams luxury. Every detail is clean and solid. We've also improved the waterproofing compared to the Hadean, making this board much more reliable if you get caught in a light rain.
Everything has been Redesigned
Compared to the Hadean Carbon, we’ve refined every detail to meet the real-world demands of riders:
- More grippy grip tape for superior foot lock
- Trucks widened by 20 mm for increased stability without sacrificing carving
- New motors for better heat dissipation
- E-FOC 2.0 ESC for improved electronic management and safety
A True 50 km/h
For riders weighing 75 to 80 kg, this board reliably hits a top speed of 50 km/h. The acceleration in Corsa mode is nothing short of brutal. And here’s a pleasant surprise: the braking is vastly improved. You can slide the wheels effortlessly.
Customize everything in the app or through the basic modes.
45 to 48 km in real-world conditions
With a sporty yet fluid ride, Average Eskate Reviews achieved an impressive 45 to 48 km of range. This is an excellent result for such a powerful skateboard. Be aware that the range drops quickly on loose ground like sand or gravel.
Charging time: 4 hours with the standard charger, with no fast-charging option. This is the main weakness identified.
Smart Phaze Remote
The remote is solid and well-designed. It features a comprehensive screen that displays your speed and range. Smart vibrations alert you to overcurrent or mode reduction. You can even check the health of your cells directly from the remote.
