Tell us more about your experience with Evoskil.
I discovered Evoskil about a year and a half ago, when one of my students suggested I take a look at the concept. I liked it immediately. Before Evoskil, I used MATCO rims, which are very robust but also very heavy. By switching to Evoskil rims, I've saved 4 kilos, which has increased my machine's autonomy and potentially improved its performance. I was also attracted by the ease of maintenance and the design aspect of Evoskil rims.
"Thanks to the Evoskil rims, I've saved 4 kilos, which equates to 5.7 extra liters of fuel. This potentially offers half an hour more flying time."

Which machine did you equip with Evoskil® rims?
I equipped my personal aircraft, an AVID FLYER that I bought second-hand in May 2022 and completely refurbished myself. I started flying it in January 2023, with the rims Evoskil® right from the start.
What about braking performance with Evoskil® rims?
Braking performance is also better. What's more, brake pad and disc wear is reduced in comparison with the braking power obtained.
What did you think of the installation and maintenance of Evoskil® rims?
I did the installation and assembly myself in one morning. It was pretty easy. Since January 2023, I've never had to make a repair or change a part.
Would you recommend Evoskil® rims to other drivers?
Yes, I'd recommend the rims to any rider looking for a new look and innovative technology!
