Evolve wheel comparison
Choosing the wheels for an Evolve electric skateboard depends on size (85 to 200 mm), durometer (77a to 83a) and type: street urethane wheels for the city, or all-terrain tyres (6 to 8 inch) for trails. Each size changes top speed depending on the gear (32T to 66T) and the board (GTR, Hadean, Diablo). Distributed across Europe by Ride Evolve Europe, partner of Evolve Skateboards (brand founded in 2012).
How to choose your wheels?
Size : 85-97 mm for city manoeuvrability, 105-107 mm for more speed and comfort, 6-8″ tyres for all-terrain.
Durometer : from 77a (soft, more grip and comfort) to 83a (hard, faster and better for slides); 80a is the sweet spot.
Terrain : street urethane for smooth tarmac, AT/OR tyres for grass, dirt and trails.
Speed : at equal gear, a larger wheel raises top speed but lowers acceleration and hill torque.
Gear : match the gear (32T to 66T) to the wheel; tyres require the large gears (47T or 66T).
Methodology and data reliability
Last checked :
Sources : Ride Evolve Europe product specifications and wheel/gear settings available on Evolve remotes. Each column links to the relevant product page.
Method : sizes, durometers and settings come from product specifications. Speeds are indicative configuration values, not guaranteed measurements.
Check before buying : compatibility depends on board generation, gear, belts, guards and remote settings. Rider weight, battery, tyre pressure and terrain also affect performance.

Frequently asked questions
Evolve wheels fall into two groups: 85–107 mm street urethane wheels and 6–8 inch all-terrain tyres. Size, durometer and wheel-to-gear ratio affect speed, torque, comfort and grip.
Which wheels are available for an Evolve electric skateboard?
The range includes 85–107 mm street wheels and 6–8 inch all-terrain tyres. Caguama is available in 77a, 80a and 83a; tyres come in All-Terrain and Off-Road versions.
Which Evolve wheel should I choose for city riding?
Choose 85–97 mm for agility. A 105–107 mm wheel adds comfort and top speed, with slightly less torque.
Which Evolve wheel should I choose for off-road riding?
For grass, dirt and trails, choose a 6–8 inch tyre. Six-inch tyres feel more responsive; 7- and 8-inch tyres improve comfort and clearance.
Which durometer should I choose: 77a, 80a or 83a?
77a maximises grip and comfort, 83a favours sliding and durability, and 80a is the versatile balance.
Does a larger wheel make an Evolve faster?
With the same gear, a larger wheel generally increases top speed but reduces acceleration and hill-climbing torque.
Are all wheels compatible with every GTR, Hadean and Diablo?
Not automatically. Check board generation, gear, belts, guards and the settings available on the remote.
Which gear should I use with each wheel?
Street wheels generally use 32T or 38T. All-terrain tyres usually use 47T or 66T to retain torque.
Street wheels or all-terrain tyres: what is the difference?
Street wheels are fast and precise on tarmac. All-terrain tyres provide more grip and comfort on uneven ground, with greater rolling resistance.
The right choice depends on your terrain and Evolve board: 85–97 mm street wheels for city riding, 105–107 mm for speed and comfort, and 6–8 inch tyres for all-terrain use. Match the durometer (80a for versatility) and gear to your riding style. Find all compatible wheels in the Evolve wheel shop. Still unsure which board to pick?
