Evil The Following MB, size Medium
Awesome bike that I’ve had since 2020 – bought second-hand but hardly used – and have absolutely loved. It’s handled everything from mini Enduros (Enjoyro Evo most recently), adventure races and MTB Orienteering events, big days out in the wilds and short fast days at trail centres, and is really fun to ride. I’m only selling because I’ve got a few enduro-esque plans for next year and splashed out on a new bike to facilitate (and can’t justify having two full-suss bikes just for me!)

Good stuff:
– Upgraded the fork to the C1 airshaft a couple of years ago which seems to help with getting full travel.
– Brand new wheelset (tubeless compatible but still set up with tubes), cassette, grips and tyres transferred from the new bike (I’ve kept the Hunt wheels I’d upgraded the Evil with).
– I’ll also stick fresh pads in the brakes and a new chain on before passing on.

Not so good stuff:
– There’s some wear to the paintwork, particularly the edges of the top tube from knee rub and near the shock mount from my roof-mount bike carrier. I’ll add clearer pictures to this ad for clarity – just don’t have them to hand at the moment!
– There’s an intermittent creak in the linkages somewhere that I’ve not had time or cause to investigate yet. I’ve only found it noticeable occasionally when pedalling uphills – either that’s the only time it creaks or I just don’t notice it on downhills…

I’ll include the dinky Fidlock 450mm bottle and base I use with it, the frame is fairly constricted and not much bigger than this fits – think you can get the next size of Fidlock bottle in, or a side-access cage, but it’s tight.
