Flyer EVO

There are four Flyer EVO configurations. The right one depends on your experience and your weight.

• EVO Lite: 90 L board, 4000 W, up to 36 km/h, around 100 minutes of ride time, for riders up to roughly 90 kg. The most accessible way into the EVO system.
• EVO Max Plus: 130 L board, 6000 W, up to 45 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 130 kg. The largest and most stable board, and the easiest to learn on.
• EVO Pro Plus: 90 L board, 6000 W, up to 52 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 130 kg. Works from your first session through to advanced riding.
• EVO Master: 75 L Kevlar and carbon board, 6000 W, up to 52 km/h, around 120 minutes, for riders up to roughly 100 kg. Built for advanced riders who want the most direct handling.

Speed and ride time vary with rider weight, water conditions and riding style. If you are unsure, tell us your weight and experience and we will point you to the right one.

Top speed depends on the configuration:

• EVO Lite: up to 36 km/h (22.4 mph)
• EVO Max Plus: up to 45 km/h (28 mph)
• EVO Pro Plus: up to 52 km/h (32 mph)
• EVO Master: up to 52 km/h (32 mph)

Actual speed varies with rider weight, water conditions and your setup.

The EVO Max Plus, Pro Plus and Master are rated up to 120 minutes on the 2300 Wh pack. The EVO Lite is rated up to 100 minutes.

In practice, expect 45 to 90 minutes or more depending on your weight, how hard you ride, water conditions and which gear you use. Riding at full throttle in chop will always draw more than cruising.

These are the ideal rider weights for each configuration:

• EVO Lite: up to about 90 kg (198 lbs)
• EVO Max Plus: up to about 130 kg (286 lbs)
• EVO Pro Plus: up to about 130 kg (286 lbs)
• EVO Master: up to about 100 kg (220 lbs)

Heavier riders are generally steered towards the Max Plus regardless of experience level, because the 130 L board carries more volume and lifts more easily.

Flight Assist uses sensors and gyroscope inputs to help stabilise lift and assist throttle control while you are flying. It shortens the learning curve considerably.

It is fitted to the EVO Max Plus, EVO Pro Plus and EVO Master. The EVO Lite does not have it.

It can be toggled on or off. Beginners usually leave it on while learning; more experienced riders switch it off for full manual control and a more engaged ride.

The Master is the performance-focused configuration in the EVO line. It runs a 75 L board built with Kevlar and carbon fibre, a one-piece moulded carbon mast and a CNC fuselage, which makes it lighter and more responsive than the other boards.

That translates into sharper handling and more direct control at speed. It reaches 52 km/h (32 mph) and uses a 31 inch mast. It suits advanced riders who already have solid foil control and want precision, rather than riders still learning.

Around 10 to 15 minutes once you are familiar with it. The EVO is designed for modular assembly and every tool you need is included in the set, so there is nothing extra to buy.

Your first few assemblies will take longer. The assembly video below walks through the whole sequence.

Yes. Every EVO configuration is modular within the same system. You can swap or upgrade wings, masts, propulsion units and batteries, and you can mix components from other EVO models to tune the ride to your style.

This means you can start on a setup that suits you now and change it as you progress, rather than replacing the whole eFoil.
