Evil’s Following set a new standard for short travel, big attitude 29er trail bikes but how does it compare to the latest contenders? Guy Kesteven has been hitting the moors, Enduro tracks and off-piste black runs of Yorkshire to find out.
Insanely controlled and speed-hungry suspension with addictively agile handling
Comparatively good price for a premium brand and sorted spec
Shorter, steeper geometry makers it less stable than contemporaries
Relatively short frame warranty
Jun 2019 · Mick Kirkman
One of the most exciting 29er trail bikes on the market, balancing speed and fun perfectly
Suspension feels deeper and more sensitive than on most 120mm bikes, but never gets too spongy
Absolutely rails turns in the X-Low bottom bracket position
Slack seat angle needs updating
More tyre clearance than previous Evils, but it still isn’t what a UK rider would call generous

The Evil Following MB has upped the game with the same 120mm of rear travel, but 20mm more reach. But in today’s increasingly aggressive landscape can it still hold its own? - Mtbr.com

Times have changed a lot. The Following has changed a little. As its name implies, it simply got more better.

Can 29ers be playful? The Following from Evil Bike Co. waves its hand in the air and says "YES I BLOODY WELL CAN!" Full review within.
Jul 2016 · Christoph Bayer
Even from afar, the badass attitude of the Evil The Following is undeniable, with its long, slack frame, black finish and aggressive aesthetic eye-catching!
Feb 2016 · Mick Kirkman
Meet the new Evil The Following, is this the sexiest 29er ever built?
Love the ride quality, playfulness, jump-ability and pure speed.
This kind of performance doesn’t come cheap, and Evil needs to prove its reliability and customer service are equally top-notch.
