All I wanted to do was jump, jib and generally just mess around at every opportunity. It was a childlike experience that put a grin on my face from ear to ear.
The Calling doesn’t shy away from terrain that you might think only a longer-travel bike could handle

Evil's Calling breaks down barriers with long, low and slack geometry and a snappy rear-end. It is all about having fun.

There’s a low-speed compression-damping lever on the shock to help make things even more efficient if you so wish.

The Evil The Calling is the perfect downhiller’s trail bike. With maximum grip, cornering shred-factor and attitude. Easy to ride for intermediates too.

We have to admit, when Evil Bikes first showed off the Calling, we thought it was a bit underwhelming and out of left field. With a knack for pioneering aggressive bikes, why would the Seattle brand dive into a more conservative field? Why not engineer a groundbreaking DH bike or a gnarly mid travel 29″ bike? You know…something that would fill the void between the Following and the Wreckoning. Why a 131mm travel, 27.5″ wheeled bike? Greatly impressed by Evil’s past efforts, we were still curious about the Calling as it seemed like it could address some minor gripes with
