Evil Following – another Nu Skool 29er

We’ve just had word through from Silverfish on another nu skool 29er this time from Evil Bikes. Here’s the press release with UK pricing…

The Following

Monster truck wheels with a sports car feel is the way Evil describe their latest creation but the devil’s in the detail and this 120mm travel Carbon Fibre 29er has had every angle tweaked and layer of Carbon adjusted to create a fun, versatile, aggressive, big wheeled trail bike.

Designed around progressive geometry that’s just as at home on an all-day adventure as it is on a trail slashing singletrack session The Following is busting down the door on what people thought 29” wheels were all about. At its heart beats the Dave Weagle designed Delta System linkage which give out 120mm of progressive, ‘playful’ travel and features a more forward shock position when compared to Evil’s other models eliminating the need for a shock tunnel.

Evil didn’t stop there with the details though as every inch of the bike has been fettled and reworked focusing on building strength and keeping weight down. Once the suspension system and kinematics had been perfected Evil added internal cables, a stealth dropper routing and made sure there was plenty of tyre clearance for 2.4” wide rubber.
