After all the interest following news of Evil’s new Following 29er we tracked down Pete Drew from Silverfish to give us the long, slack and low down on the stealth black carbon ‘rowdy’ trail bike…
Following its official launch (oof) there’s been a fair bit of forum discussion about the addition of another option in the move away from traditional XC geometry in big wheelers, towards a more shred friendly set of numbers. Here’s Pete with all the spiel.

Looks beautiful and £4799 seems like a bargain (relatively speaking, of course). There’s a lot of bolts to shake loose in that Delta System linkage and swingarm, though. Break out the thread lock!
that looks ace.
Does look immense in the flesh.
How’s the mud clearance?
Jon check out page 3 of the forum thread (link in the article but here it is anyway
It looks broken somehow
doh!
from the vid: 140 by 12 rear axle.
Another rear axle standard?
Want became NEED with this bike at Core last week for me… The price is almost irrelevant, it’s got my name written all over it!
Now do I go for the double unknown and order an MRP Stage fork to go with it too…?
9 pivots, if I counted correctly. Bikes seem to be getting over complicated these days.
Having just been for a ride in the mud I would hate to clean around all those linkages.
142mm x 12mm is x12
@JohnB – There’s no more pivots than on a any other linkage driven single pivot – they’re just all concentrated into a very small area.
