Summary
The Evil Offering is a versatile and energetic trail bike that excels in climbing and playful handling, thanks to its D.E.L.T.A. linkage system and aggressive geometry. While it offers a balanced and natural-feeling ride with excellent cornering and jumping capabilities, some reviewers note it's not the best on steep descents and comes with a high starting price. Comparisons often highlight its relation to the Evil Following and Wreckoning, as well as the Yeti SB130 and Ibis Ripmo.
D.E.L.T.A. linkage system provides efficient climbing and traction
Aggressive geometry and unique looks
Playful and easy-to-ride
Excellent cornering and jumping capabilities
Balanced and natural-feeling ride
Starting price of $5,700 is high
Not the best in class on the steepest descents
Rear end feels less fluid in the midstroke
Less outright grip, tracking and stability compared with the Wreckoning
The Offering is a perfectly balanced trail bike, with a helping of that unmistakable Evil maliciousness.
BIKE MagazineThe Offering climbs damn well, and considering what the bike is marketed to do—shred ’til ya’ dead—it may be the most impressive characteristic of the bike.
Mountain FlyerThis 140mm model retains that familiar, close-to-the-ground engaging ride quality, and corners like stink, with a high fun-factor.

Ride review of the 2021 Evil Offering v2 29" enduro mountain bike
Apr 2021 · Spencer Astra
The Evil Offering fills an important hole in the Bellingham-based company’s 29er lineup—sitting squarely between their nimble 120-millimeter-travel Following and the root-gobbling 166-millimeter-travel Wreckoning. Originally released in 2018, the Offering was updated last fall and now features enough clearance for a 2.6-inch rear tire, a steeper seat-tube angle and a longer reach, among other slight changes. Fans of the original Offering, or any Evil for that matter, will rejoice at the fact that they’ve kept chainstay length relatively short, at 430 millimeters, or 432 millimeters if you choose to ride the bike in its “X-Low” setting, which is achieved with a quick reconfiguration of their flip chip. Further customization can be had with an optional 1.5-degree Works Components angle headset installed. The model we received featured a 160-millimeter Fox 36 Factory Grip 2 fork, a Fox Float DPX2 shock and a full SRAM X01 components build-out. After testing the bike in the X-Low setting, I was curious to see how much of a difference the offset headset would make, so I opted to test it with the angle headset. The result blew me away—the Offering V2 is quite possibly the best revamp Evil has made to date. Climbing on the Offering yields a familiar feeling to anyone who has ever ridden an Evil bike. The Delta System suspension gives a supported platform while pedaling. The Offering feels light on its feet—both in the seated position and cranking out of the saddle. With the bike’s long reach (486 millimeters on the size large I tested), moving the seat forward on the rails can keep your weight balance neutral for most standard climbing grades. The suspension stays very active while climbing and greets each root and bump with an easy break away at the beginning of the stroke—generating traction when climbs get rough. Though, as with any Evil I’ve tested, I never felt like it was necessary to reach for the climb compression lever on the Fox Float DPX2.

Too short and steep to excel on technical tracks, but agile, supple and responsive on mellower stuff
Efficient climber on smooth terrain
Low weight and short back-end make it easy to hop, pop and manual
Supple suspension eats up smaller bumps
Relatively short and steep geometry holds it back on technical descents
Seat angle could be steeper (especially in the ‘low’ setting)
Suspension becomes ‘lumpy’ when pedalling over bumps

The second generation Evil Offering offers a near-perfect riding experience on a wide veriety of terrain. It's among our top favorites.
One of the Best Riding All-Round Trail Bikes Available
157mm Rear Axle Spacing Adds Stiffness and Tire Clearance
Optional 1, and 1.5-degree Angle Headsets Available
157mm Rear Wheel Spacing isn't as common as 148mm
Evil's New In-House Chainguide is a Downgrade From Previous One
Relatively High Entry-Level Price ($5,800)

V2 of Evil's excellent 140mm trail bike is a lot new, but also a little old.
Dec 2020 · Mike Kazimer
The new Offering has 29” wheels and 140mm of rear travel, which is paired with either a 150 or 160mm fork.

Take one look at this bike and you can surmise its intentions. Just a mention of the name—the Evil Offering—is indicative of the bike’s desire. With fat blocks of carbon punctuated by swooping lines and aggressive geometry, this bike looks mean.
