Xplorer V2 test
by Evo-Spirit
Two complementary rider reviews of the Xplorer V2 – the latest version of this French e-skate built for carving, performance and total setup freedom. Two riding styles, two perspectives, one shared conclusion: an outstanding board.
Guillaume
Esk8Bricks's take
A passionate rider and well-known reviewer in the esk8 community. His test focuses on riding feel and modularity – analytical as always, but 100% rider perspective.
Xplorer V2:
a completely rebuilt board
New deck, new trucks, new electronics, new wheels, new motors. A clean-sheet redesign. And it shows – the V2 moves into a higher league without going overboard.
Bamboo + fiberglass:
the sweet spot
The flex is perfectly dialled in: not too stiff, not too soft, with real energy in the rebound. Dropped nose and tail naturally cradle your feet. The concave is well-defined and genuinely useful when carving hard. The Xplorer signature "X"-shaped grip tape adds a nice touch of style.
Double kingpin:
a real game changer
Evo-Spirit goes double kingpin for the first time – and honestly, it's pure carving pleasure. The turns are deep and confident with that unmistakable snowboard feel. And the impressive part: the board stays perfectly stable at speed. At 40, even 50 km/h, there's no wobble.

38 km in mixed conditions
Sand, dirt, tarmac, elevation changes, temperature below 10°C. Real-world result: 38 km. Solid numbers, especially in Sport mode with wide tires. In easier conditions – hard wheels, flat terrain, mild weather – you can push 60 to 70 km.
My verdict: a genuine French success story
The Xplorer V2 is a great surprise. Powerful, stable, comfortable and incredibly modular – whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, you'll find exactly what you need in it. And beyond the hardware: 17 years of experience, after-sales service based in France, parts always available. You can count on these guys.

First
impressions
📦 Careful packaging
Board perfectly protected in foam. Immediately feels like a well thought-out product.
🔧 Solid build quality
- Bamboo and fiberglass deck
- 28 cm wide trucks
- CNC motor mounts, far more robust than standard versions
- Bashguard included as standard
Ultra-fluid carving,
pure snowboard feel
The deck has a lively, dynamic flex that catches you off guard at first – it snaps back with real energy, which takes a few sessions to dial in, but quickly becomes addictive. The carving is ultra-fluid, very snowboard-like through the turns. Plant your front foot forward in a surf or downhill stance to get the most out of the flex.
30 to 35 km in all-terrain mode
Both motors deliver instant torque and braking is smooth and progressive – no jerks, no surprises. The E.FOC controller handles it all well: controlled acceleration, predictable power delivery, and confident braking even in an emergency stop.
Stability and
feel
The double kingpin trucks hold their line impressively even at speed. In carving mode, the board stays predictable with a real sense of grip and control. The stock all-terrain wheels offer solid traction, though their slightly smooth tread can slide on sand – which actually makes for some fun controlled drifts through corners.
A board built
to last
Quality materials throughout, premium components across the board. The CNC motor mounts, bamboo/fiber deck and overall finish make it clear the Xplorer V2 is built to last. It works for both newcomers and seasoned riders.
- Beginners looking for a progressive, confidence-inspiring board
- Experienced riders who want a solid, fun and modular setup
- Anyone who wants a reliable board that can be customized as their riding evolves
