Bike Review | 2020 Evil Wreckoning

Jul 2020 · Spencer Johnson

The Day of Wreckoning is upon us. And what a joy it is. Evil Bikes didn’t hold back the squish on its updated long-travel 29er, with 170 millimeters of travel in the front and 166 millimeters in the rear. All this travel, combined with the 29-inch wheels, gives the Wreckoning more in common with a downhill bike from a few years ago than its most recent iteration—especially while descending. With all of this travel, one might expect a particularly mushy pedaling experience while climbing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. As soon as you apply pedal force to the DELTA-link rear suspension it creates an amazingly firm platform that encourages you to get out of the saddle and pedal like the world is actually ending. In all my time on the bike, I never even considered touching the lockout lever. The bike features a 76.5-degree seat-tube angle that effectively put my body position right where it belonged on climbs—between the two wheels. But what makes the Wreckoning feel truly unique is its exceptionally short chainstay: At 430 millimeters, the wheel is crammed right behind the bottom bracket, keeping the wheelbase stable and allowing you to maneuver tight switchbacks with ease. Of all the long-travel bikes I’ve recently ridden, this one feels the smallest.
