Review: The Evil Epocalypse is Equal Parts Balance & Brawn

Aug 2022 · Alicia Leggett

The Evil Epocalypse loves when the trail opens up to the fast-and-rough, but it doesn't have the excess length and slack angles you might expect. That means it feels alive despite the motor and battery weight it's carrying.

Highs
  • Maneuverable and balanced, especially for a 170mm bike

  • Excellent suspension performance

  • Great build kit

Lows
  • Just one build option with no price point below $11,999 USD

  • Some might find the geometry less aggressive than they'd like if they're looking to ride flat-out DH trails only
