LANDYACHTZ EVO 40 SPECTRUM REVIEW

Every longboard lover must have heard of Landyachtz Evo somewhere. It is one of those longboards that have won more world championships than any other longboard. So I thought about writing down my hands on review of Evo Spectrum.

So I decided to get my hand on this longboard back in 2019, to try out what it hides. To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the best downhill longboards I have ever tried, and we’re going to see why – in this review.

But what makes this longboard so special that it has won world championship downhill races? Let us take a closer look – Here’s my hands on review of LANDYACHTZ EVO 40.

Why i chose Evo?

The Evo has been under the feet of three World Champions , as well as countless race winners for over a decade. 

This persuaded me to get my hands on this board. Its lowered platform and directional wedging give me a more comfortable yet stable ride. The front-loaded steering gives me better control while taking sudden turns.

After testing it in many long rides and down hilling along with my friends, I can say the Evo is a classic example of a downhill longboard . Due to its low ride height, it excels in both downhill and commuting. It is suitable for long-distance pushing, making it a great choice for riders of all abilities, from novice to the top riders. 

I loved the stability that it provides because of the 7 ply Canadian maple construction. Moreover this construction empowers unrivaled stability and a drifty ride as well as provides a sturdy platform for downhill performance. 

Riding Styles

With Evo 40 you can get various riding styles. You can travel downhill at a fast pace with this board. Moreover, its concave deck creates a pocket for your feet and a shorter wheelbase making you do some freestyling. Moreover, the double drop with concave keeps your feet locked.

Also, for that tried and true ride, it has trucks installed from the top to sit flat with the bottom of the board allowing you to have mountain riding.

The deck of this super longboard is 40 inches in length and 9.8 inches wide. It has a drop-down board bringing you closer to the road for a more suitable ride. 

I found this board ideal for not only easy cruising but for furious downhill , and that’s because the deck has a curved shape. The adjustable wheelbase allowed me to have more control over the board. It moves your axles in with more stability, improved agility, and lower swing weight. 

For robust stiffness and control, it is made up of 9 plies of Canadian maple. It is one of the most robust designs I have ever come across making it ideal for bigger riders.

GEN 6 Trucks:

181mm Bear Grizzly Trucks are installed in the Evo 40. It comes in an unusual shape. Instead of angling away from each other or being straight under the board, both the trucks on the Evo are facing forward. 

This truck layout really improved my stability at high speeds while allowing me for easy sliding. This smooth ride is complemented by a large bushing seat and an 8-hole hardware arrangement that ensures the right feel.

Wheels – Butter Smooth?

The Evo 40 comes with 70mm Hawgs Wheels. These unique wheels have the ability to transform any board into a flexible ripper. These soft 78A durometer wheels are suitable for cruising and are perfect for commuting in urban areas . 

With the adjustable wheelbase, any riding style can be accommodated. The options range from short and robust to long and stable.

ABEC-7 Bearings

Just like Backfire Discus Fish , Evo also comes with ABEC-7 bearings. With the Spaceballs ABEC 7 bearings, your wheels will always be in alignment and chatter-free all thanks to the included spacers. Moreover, You can confidently tighten your axle nuts and maintain your wheels moving straight, smooth, and quick.

Ride – Stable?

The stable ride is mostly achieved by lowering the foot platform which creates pockets for your feet to lock onto while skating. 

With Evo 40 stability is made easy all thanks to its drop-down deck. The board is easier to push and break with your feet. Furthermore, the concave shape adds responsiveness and control while locking your feet in.

Key Features

• Board Build Quality : High quality
• Board Flex : Very stiff
• Stability : Very stable
• Tires : Big tires – can bear weight of big man
• Deck : Double drop with concave – keeps your feet locked
• Grip Tape : Can wear after long/extreme rides
• Price : Expensive

Specifications

• Brand : Landyachtz
• Package weight : 4.51 kg
• Deck Length : 99 m
• Deck width : 9.8 inches
• Color : Black, white

Social Cause – Environment Friendly

The thing which sparks me about this board is its features that are also good for the environment. The Landyachtz has partnered up with TreeCanada to plant a tree for every board sold. If we do the maths at least 60 boards can be made from a single tree. As a result, one tree will result in the planting of more or less 60 new trees.

• Pros and Cons
• Video Review
• The deck is entirely made up of Canadian Maple
• A concave shape gives maximum durability and stability 
• Adjustable wheelbase
• Has won many downhill championships
• Very stable – Feels same at 10mph as it does on 25 mph
• Heavyweight might make it difficult to travel around 
• Carving may be challenging for beginners

Landyachtz Evo 40 vs 36 – Which one to choose?

Let’s start with the deck. As its obvious from the name – Evo 40 has a 40 inches deck while 36 has 36 inches deck. The Evo 36 is 9.5 inches wide while the other is 9.8 inches.

Both the boards are made up of Canadian Maple and provide a sturdy platform for downhill performance. Evo 40 has 70mm Hawgs Wheels while 36 has 73mm tall Biggie Hawgs wheels and 30A SpaceBall bearings. 

The standing platform on the 36-inch version is not overly long as compared to 40 inches. This might not be the issue if you are short heighted person or have a height of less than 5 feet 9 inches.

On the other hand, if you have a taller height then it might get awkward for you to ride Evo 36. I would suggest, Evo 40 would be the preferable version for you if you are a tall person . Big boys in our team are quite happy with Evo40.

FINAL WORDS

After testing this board for more than a year with different team members, I could say the board is suitable for following:

• Downhilling
• High speeding
• Moving around the city
• Big/tall boys

The board due to its weight will quickly start to pick up speed on downhilling . If you’re a beginner or someone looking to try out new tricks, then its a great choice as the double drop and concave will keep you locked. For big boys , the board can hold your wait pretty good due to its strong build and strong wheels.

For heavy riders , the strong construction of the board and stiff flex will make you feel comfortable at high speed. Similarly, for beginners looking for downhill board the Evo is the way to go.

I do think its a little costly board, however, Its still worth it due to the overall quality you’re getting in return.

Retrospec Zed – A perfectly balanced board

The board appeared to be attractive at first glance. Best about this longboard is that it comes in a variety of colors and…

Looking for owners insight on landyachtz evo 36 vs 40.

im looking to build my first board my current board is a 39" chinese build thats 12s hub motor goes 30+mph and so far ive gotten 17.5 miles out of it. my main question is on the evo 36 how wide of a stance can you get my current board is pretty much perfect lenth for me stance wise at 24" is the evo 36 anywhere near that. ps i really dig the red of the 36 over the 40 thats why im not just going 40.

Im pretty tall, 195cm, 36 is too short, 40 is great

The 36 has a pretty small standing platform. @DerelictRobot you still have yours? Can you measure?

thanks im pretty short but my current board is pretty much perfect length so if the 36 is anywhere near 24" stance thats what im going with

@Agressivstreetlamp has a 36 Evo too And @DEEIF ?

I’m 5’9 and I found the evo 36 too small to be comfortable. It’s so individual though, others might love it. The 39 and 40 are perfect for me.

Thanks @skunk

I’m 5’4 and find the size of the 36 Evo nice if just for carving and up to 30ish. If you are pushing past 30 on TKP’s I would suggest the 40 since you can spread out more. I will measure the 36” Tomorrow since the board is at a friends place right now.

I was born in Fairfax VA at 9lb 6oz

Born on a Tuesday and TKP Evo sounds odd

Hey me too, are we twins?

Which one is it dear

It depends if you measure him in the morning or before bedtime

DID you bookmark that post for future use? Dude 1 minute to find it lol

Idk it’s like 6.2.5 don’t judge me😭

I remember reading it and thinking damn kellag is one inch taller

Then it’s 4 inches

You’re actually adorable

My mom told me ,she was really disappointed

Best longboards for old people/adults (easy to ride & stable)

October 9, 2021

Today’s article is on the best longboards for old people. Now I will leave you to definite how old, “old” is haha. But if you’re in the market for easy to ride, smooth, and stable boards, this article will help you out. Check it out.

Table of Contents

Best longboards for old people/adults

Landaychtz drop cat 38.

The Drop Cat 38 is one of the best longboards available today. It is turny, stable, comfortable, and rolls super smoothly. Landyachtz knocked it out of the park with this board.

The Drop Cat is 38inches long. It is a double-drop deck, featuring a drop-through and a considerable amount of rocker. This brings it super low to the ground, making it easy to push, stable, and easy to footbrake.

The Drop Cat is made from 8plys of Maple. It will have a bit of flex, but it will be stiff enough to hold up riders even as heavy as 260lbs. It’s a pretty strong board.

In terms of components, it comes with high-quality Bear Gen 6 trucks, Bear Spaceball bearings, and fast, 72mm tall Hawgs Plow Kings. These components will ensure a smooth, controllable ride, whilst the Plow Kings will roll fast and roll forever (some seriously underrated wheels).

You can buy the Drop Cat here at Landyachtz.com . Use the code – “ AroniSkate&Explore15 ” for 5% off.

You can buy the 38inch Drop Cat here at the Stoked ride shop.

DB Double-drop longboard collection (DB Bear 33 review)

In terms of bang for buck, the DB double-drop line-up is the best on the market. You get a decent quality longboard from a quality brand for a very affordable price. 

The DB double-drop comes with big 90mm wheels – these are huge. These will smoothen out the ride and roll over everything with ease – pebbles, road imperfections, huge cracks, you name it. Those things will cease to be an issue. And wheelbite will be of no worry either, these boards are built to work around the wheels. It will be like riding on a cloud.

The DB double-drop boards are also super low to the ground. THey use TKP trucks (which aren’t very tall) and have a drop-through, a drop-mount. You’ll only be riding an inch or so off the ground. This makes the board stable, easy to push, and easy to footbrake on.

Though it is affordable, I’ve heard that the trucks aren’t the best. But for the price you pay, you can hardly complain. Perhaps you can upgrade further down the road if you want a slightly nicer turn (most beginners won’t notice the difference tbh)…

Check out the DB Double-drop series here on Amazon.com.

Landyachtz Evo 36 (good for heavy riders)

The Evo 36 is a longboard that’s been around for a considerable amount of time. Designed for downhill it’s gonna be stiffer than the average cruiser longboard. This is a perfect feature for heavier 250+ lbs riders or anyone who just wants a stiffer board.

The Evo is special. It comes with a drop-down platform with wedging and dewedging (in the rear) where the trucks are mounted. This wedging makes the board super stable, which just translates to more confidence when you take turns and a more controllable ride as you pick up speed.

In terms of components, the Evo comes with high-quality Bear gen-6 trucks, 73mm tall Biggie Hawgs wheels, and Bear Spaceball bearings. 

The Evo is an excellent choice if you want a low-to-the-ground, ultra-stable board. However, the 36inch version has a standing platform that isn’t too long. If you’re shorter (less than 5ft9), this isn’t an issue. It will be a bit uncomfortable for those taller – the 40inch versions would be better.

You can buy the Evo here at the Landyachtz website . Use the code – “ AroniSkate&Explore15 ” for 5% off.

You can also check out the 36inch Landyachtz Evo here at the Stoked Ride shop.

Other boards that will be excellent choices

• Zenit AB Maze,
• Landyachtz Drop Hammer ,
• Landyachtz Battle Axe ,
• Zenit Catnip,
• Pantheon push boards (there are a lot of choices),
• Subsonic boards (ton of options),
• Sp8boards UK – Odyssey ,
• Rocket Rambler.

Best longboards for old people buying guide

What “old” people should look for in a longboard.

I believe “old” people should look for 3 things in a board. It should be:

• Easy to ride and control,
• Inherently stable,
• Comfortable and ergonomic.

These three things will grant them an enjoyable, effortless, relaxing, and forgiving riding experience. Skating won’t be something they’ll have to struggle to accomplish, but something that will be easy, and that they can do with minimum effort, time and again. 

Let’s look at what features of a board will fulfill these desirable requirements.

You will find that many of the features accomplish one or more of the above requirements.

What type of boards are easy to ride and control?

Boards that are easy to ride and control tend to be low to the ground and have high-quality components. 

Boards with low standing platforms (low to the ground)

You’ll find, boards that are closer to the ground, or simply have low-standing platforms are easier to ride. This because:

• Because the standing platform is lower than where the trucks are mounted, how much input you have on your trucks is reduced. This adds to the stability and how easy the boards are to ride. You don’t have to be on point with your balance. You can skate in a relaxed way which adds to the overall enjoyability.
• Because where you stand is close to the ground, you don’t have to reach as far down to push the board or footbrake. This makes a huge difference – it makes pushing significantly easier.

Boards that are drop-through, drop-mounted, or have rocker, all have a standing platform that is low to the ground. These boards are easy to ride and control.

Boards with high-quality components

Boards with high-quality components (trucks, bearings, and wheels) will ride smoothly and easily.

High-quality trucks – are stable, turn smoothly, and behave predictably. They don’t suddenly twitch when you take turns sharply or start wobbling as you pick up speed (not going faster than 20mph). They inspire confidence when you ride and they are reliable.

High-quality wheels – roll smoother, roll faster, and pick up speed quickly. They tend to be made from high-rebound urethane (resulting in a stiffer wheel), which allows for quicker acceleration and retains its speed for longer. You don’t struggle so much – you won’t always be pushing to keep up your boards speed.

Inversely, low-quality components will make your riding experience not as enjoyable. You will always be working hard to push the board, struggling with the turning, etc. They’re just a headache. You should avoid cheap boards altogether.

What types of boards are inherently stable?

Boards with a low standing platform.

• Being closer to the ground lowers your center of gravity which adds to the stability. You don’t have to work as hard to keep the board stable and going straight. It allows you to be more relaxed with how you ride – which adds to the overall enjoyability.

As I said earlier, drop-through, drop-down (drop-mounted), and boards that have rocker, all have low-standing platforms. These boards are all inherently stable.

What type of boards are comfortable to ride?

Comfortability in a longboard can come from a variety of features:

• Easy to ride boards are smooth in ride – which adds to the comfortability.
• Stable boards are relaxing to ride – which adds to the comfortability.
• Boards that have flex absorb a lot of road vibration and act like suspension when you go over road imperfections (cracks, roughness). This makes the ride very comfortable.
• Boards that have big, soft wheels are comfortable too. The big wheels (70-80mm) ride over cracks, roughness, pebbles and other road imperfections with ease and help smoothen out the ride. Soft wheels absorb a lot of road vibrations that would otherwise go into your feet and make you feel uncomfortable.

Combining all of the above things will result in a longboard that is super smooth and comfortable to ride. With the right wheels, some boards feel like rolling on clouds.

Is there more stuff to consider?

I could go in a bit more detail about some things (high-quality boards) and have overlooked one or two things – how much a board should cost, specifics such as what different types of boards do etc.

You can check out some of the other articles on my blog for more info:

• How much a longboard should cost
• Best beginner longboards (talks about riding styles and which are appropriate for what)

Those two articles and this one should really give you most of the info you need to make an informed purchase. Any of the products here will be great riding options if you don’t want to bother too much with reading.

What do you think? Which board is right for you?

One of the most popular boards for 2021 (and 2020) has to be the Drop Cat. If you go for it, you can’t really go wrong. If they’re in stock, the Pantheon boards are excellent options too.

And there really isn’t something like the “best longboards for old people”. Just some specific ones that have desireable features.

Big thanks to all my patrons for the support – Jed, Mowgii, Jan, Josh, Jay, Bryan, Owen, Samil, Daniel, Alex, Kasajja, Leah, Helge, DeLacoste, Anthony, Ismail, and Justin. I couldn’t write articles like this without you guys’ support

Evo 36 Spectrum

A pillar of the Landyachtz DH line for over a decade, the Evo has been under the feet of 3 World Champions as well as countless race winners and podium contenders. The Evo 36 offers tighter packaging and more grip to bring it more in line with the demanding nature of modern DH racing without sacrificing its championship winning DNA or legendary stability.

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

Concave designed to really lock your feet in while adding responsiveness and control.

A lowered foot platform provides the most stable ride and gives your feet pockets to lock into while skating. These boards are also easier for pushing and foot-breaking.

Made in Canada

Watch the Evo 36 Spectrum in Action

The Evo is a classic example of downhill board design and the concept continues to be effective to this day. A lowered platform and directional wedging work to give you a super stable ride and front-loaded steering that gives you a ton of control while cornering hard. The Evo 36 is the more compact of our two Evo shapes, and at 36" long by 9.5" wide it offers more grip in the corners and a much more agile, responsive ride than the 40. Pressed with 9 plies of Canadian maple, the Evo 36 offers a stiff platform for downhill performance. The Evo comes with 155mm Gen 6 Bear Grizzly trucks to give you a bit more of a defined hookup from drifts and more control over the steering. The Evo rolls on 73mm 76a Biggie Hawgs for lots of roll speed and grip as well as predictable drifts.

73mm 76a Biggie Hawgs

73mm Biggie Hawgs are meaty square-lipped wheels that are compatible with most top-mount and low-clearance longboard and downhill setups. With our high-rebound formula, in 76a grey, these will grip in the most demanding situations but will break out smooth for predrifts and check slides. These are a great way to upgrade the stock wheels on your longboard setup or get a little extra grip out of your downhill board.

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck. We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board. No slop, all control. Don't accept anything less than the perfect complete.   Learn More >

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Easy to ride board

Very stable, low to the ground, best for long distance pushing

This board is my favorite out of all the boards I own so far. We have 2 evos in our house because my daughter loved this board so much I had to get another. The drop gets you close to the ground making this a really easy board to push. Love carving around on this board. At 5’ 10” the 36” is perfect for my stance. I would recommend this board to anyone looking for a good cruising board.
