Custom/Hybrid Rickter FR-2 EVO1 RIPS!- T.C.Freeride, ThrustInnovations RRP/RICKTER Amazing Service!

[MattSmith]

I just want to let you all know how impressed i am of the Rickter Dealers here in the US. If you have been hesitant about buying a high dollar hull, you don't have to worry about purchasing a RICKTER. TC Freeride in the west and ThrustInnovations in the east have taken very good care of my and my new RICKTER FR-2 EVO1. Parts available fast, they answer the phones, they answer the emails and are very knowledgeable. My EVO1 is rippin 3 times a week in Oside and I still can't get enough of it. Buy one, you won't regret it and they will take care of you.

The EVO pops harder off the wave, rides lighter, turns quicker, and new hood/rails are amazing. I Think I need to get another one. here's my 2013 and some recent pics.

What's your set up for pump and motor matt?

 

[MattSmith]

Stock motor w b pipe as always . Stock pump with 12 17 skat trak cutback . Hits really good. I've had people tell me it hits harder than a Dasa but I just laugh. Its just tuned well. Goes two hours on a tank of gas and motor lasts forever.

Looks good man!

You gotta returf your tray. I just did mine a couple weeks ago. Sooooooooo much nicer with the 25mm padding.

How much do these cost here?

 

[MattSmith]

6500 hull. Comes with hood, bracket. You can get the older Fr two hull styles cheaper but the Evo has a lot of the new features.

I was worried to spend BIG money with Taylor. I had never met him and he is across the country but he is a really nice guy and the transaction was painless. I don't have one bad thing to say about him. The ski was everything he said it would be and more. Always answers calls and returns emails and believe me I ask a lot of dumb questions cause I am that guy..

How do you like the splash guard on the front - does it make a big difference?

huge difference. less splash than a sj. a big deal when riding at 7am in 60 degrees.

It is a must have on a surf FR in my opinion. They should come from the factory.

Matt, really digging my Evo 1. Best riding ski around. You have to really appreciate it with your experience and coming from an SXR and SJ background. IMO its the best of both worlds. Call and get yours before the long summer wait.

Love mine, rides so nice in the surf. I finaly got it to pearl 2 weeks ago but I had to force it and it still popped up instead of darting down. I have only about 10 rides on it so far but by far the best fit and finish I have seen on a A/M hull and rides like a dream.


Splash guard looks tempting...

 

[rickybobby]

Whats the weight for the evo? Is easy to flip.

How would this hull work for flat water flips and such. love the rickter style but feel a BOB is the way to go for me...less expensive hull so put more money into an engine. Otherwise id be in a rickter with a stockish rickter, would it flip?

You want to look at Rickter XFS or XFR
