Damn that’s as good looking as it is un-affordable to me. Their lineup had a bit of a gap which this has now filled; good because if I ever did spend that much money it for sure would have to be an all rounder to get used every week!

Whats’ the difference between that and the other Evil bikes… Looks wise?

about halfway down in the PB comments theres an amusing spat between a video editor & Evil bikes

they really do seem good at upsetting people!

Very excited about this, been on a Following for nearly 4 years now and loved every minute, but it’s time for a change, and fancy a bit of a bigger bike. Just need to procrastinate over size a bit before I pull the trigger.

All very much to taste, but personally I found the big travel ones were a bit too curvy to get everything to fit, especially the headtube area on the wreckoning almost looking like they’d been crashed into a wall; whereas the little travel ones looked* needlessly burly if you compare for example the following with a tallboy 3.

*obviously just hollow carbon tubes, but just looked a bit odd/non-standard.

as much as i love the look of evil bikes, i’ve just heard too many bad news stories about them…. not for a couple of years mind, but they’ve stuck in my mind….

oh, that and i can’t actually afford one!

not for a couple of years mind

A lot of brands have had bad news stories over the years.

I’ve got a Following v1 (bought because it was £1500 new and all my existing wheels etc fitted onto it). Love it – it’s the best suspension platform I’ve ridden. If I needed a longer travel frame I’d be looking at one of theirs.
