More Pop, Less Filling
The Following is the 121mm 29er that keeps weight to a minimum and fun on full blast. It’ll climb all day and beg for more, it’ll high five its way through berms, gaps, rock gardens and eye-watering speed on the way down. It’s Evil’s version of a trail bike—the crusher of all things crusher, the rally car of two wheels, and every bit as unclassifiable as its inception—XC Rage, Shred-Country, Tall Mountain, nothing does it justice.
So What's New?
New "Foam Roller" and classic "Blackout" colorways.
Updated linkage hardware means no more lost spacers.
SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger to future-proof your ride.
SRAM GX mechanical & X01 AXS completes available.
Annual linkage bearing replacement.
Loophole wheel upgrades available.

Evil Bikes are known for their roots that have been dug deep into the gravity side of mountain biking for some time, but their 120mm short-travel trail bike, the Following, shouldn't be neglected, because it punches well above its rank. .
Superb suspension performance packed into 120mm of travel
Frame and wheels combine to create a strong yet forgiving ride feel
Handling at high speeds might be too twitchy for some riders
Geometry doesn't equate to the most effective climbing position

SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger is the wave: ride it or get buried. Evil has figured that out, and updated its MTB's accordingly.
The Following is the 121mm 29er that keeps weight to a minimum and fun on full blast. It’ll climb all day and beg for more, it’ll high five its way through berms, gaps, rock gardens and eye-watering speed on the way down. It’s Evil’s version of a trail bike—the crusher of all things crusher, the rally car of two wheels, and every bit as unclassifiable as its inception—XC Rage, Shred-Country, Tall Mountain, nothing does it justice.
