For This Bike
Oct 2019 · Guy Kesteven
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

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
Dec 2017 · Guy Kesteven
Unbelievable control and freakish speed breeding meet epic efficiency and practical versatility. Buy if you value superb suspension over raw figures on your rowdy trail bike
Benchmark-resetting short-travel control and speed
Efficient and agile enough for XC singletrack hustling
Carbon-rich kit collection
Still very spendy despite recent price drop
Even large size requires a side-entry bottle cage

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.
Aug 2017
The Following gets More Better'er with updates to cement the bike as a 120 millimeter mini-DH machine.

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.
