Summary

The Evil Wreckoning is celebrated for its aggressive geometry and suspension performance, making it a standout in the enduro category. It excels in high-speed descents and technical terrain, offering a plush ride and easy maneuverability. While it shines on steep and challenging trails, it may feel less at home on flat or uphill sections.

Pros
  • Efficient climbing in 'Pedal' setting

  • Incredibly plush suspension

  • Confidence-inspiring geometry

  • Easy to maneuver and change direction

  • Unique design and lightweight frame

Cons
  • Lacks water-bottle mount

  • Requires high speeds or steep descents to feel at home

  • Limited tire clearance at the rear

  • Flat trails bore this bike

  • Extra weight and limited gear range make climbs harder

May 2017 · Francis Cebedo

When we awarded the Enduro bike of the year last year to the Trek Slash 29er, a few were distraught that we did not get to try the Wreckoning. It was a contender, a few touted, so we made it our task to get to know the ‘Wreck’. - Mtbr.com
