Thanks & great question - it's a longer answer than we can reasonably sum up here, but we'll do our best. Your assessment is correct - an "agile" ride character has always been somewhat of a hallmark here at Evil. We try to walk the line between agile/fun, and stable/confident. Short stays make for fun wheelies & jumps, thus, we've always stayed on the shorter side. There's a great argument for size-specific chainstay lengths - that much, we do not debate. Our rear triangles are a relatively complex mold. Molds are quite expensive. Introducing another rear triangle mold increases total...

I'd love to try one... in a field of crab links, faux crab links and imitation crab link look alikes, this does stand out as different and interesting. As a 6'3" ish rider, I'm interested in the design/validation process that lead to a fixed chainstay size. I'm a longer chainstay type of guy, but I can admit when I jump on a pivot, I'm not thinking of how short the chainstays are the whole time. I feel like there is a riding style that is central to evil bikes that jives with slapping the back end in and out of...

They fixed the seat tube angle! As a tall guy, I would finally consider an Evil! As for the pricing - please stop whining. This is pretty standard now, for better or worse. It’s less an an equivalent Santa Cruz. Go buy a YT.

First of all, this is an exceptional article that is well done, is not even biased towards e-bikes and it puts some facts and data to the comparison between the two I was on team anti-E bike for years thinking how core I was & that E's were for newbs and lazy people. But after a catastrophic knee injury & multiple surgeries, an E was the only thing that kept me moving outdoors in my beautiful mountains (gravel roads) vs sitting on a fan bike in my house... my sense of gratefulness to even be out on simple zero-gnar gravel...

The assertion that e-bikes decrease fitness is widespread. On the surface, the reasoning appears sound: riders often feel like they have expended more energy after a normal ride compared to an e-bike ride. Therefore, normal bikes must provide superior fitness benefits, right? Not quite. This surface-level analysis misses several crucial insights about how fitness actually works. Let's start with a simple fact: work done is work done, regardless of the bicycle beneath you. If you maintain the same effort level on an e-bike as you would on a traditional bike, you'll simply travel farther in the same time. In this...

I did the same thing with mine. Originally had two setups, a single crown and a short stroked shock. Eventually just left it in full DH mode as it really wasn’t any worse to climb on.

Love seeing all the dual crown enduro rigs. This is a great thread. Here is Kavenz VHP18 that I have since sold under the guise of “it’s too much bike for everyday riding”. And well that is certainly true in some aspect because it made every trail notable easier to ride, it is without a doubt my favourite bike to date. I miss it more often than not, and I will likely be bringing it back to life in some form with my current Kavenz VHPG gearbox frame. It handled everything from bike park laps here in BC to 1000m...

This is the way! The Bartlett is THE solution, but for some reason it gets no attention. I've had mine since 2023 and it's been amazing. Everything from singletrack in the PNW to Windrock this summer. I've put a ton of time riding all sorts of trails on a dual crown equipped enduro/freeride bike (Spindrift) and never once thought to myself that I wish I had a single crown.

I pushed the rock shox product manager to keep the 35mm Boxxer and update with a tapered steerer and 15mm axle for these bikes. Shot down.

10/15/2025 8:29am I'm on board. I've been running a dual crown on my Canfield for a couple of years now, I have the newer boxxer now. Two of my friends have them on their E-bikes. I also had the MRP Bartlett when they came out. I thought it was a great idea and would really take off but it never caught on...

Felt this was a fitting place to post my thoughts on running a Boxxer on a Spire. Spoiler Alert: Its the best setup I've run thus far. I genuinely don't understand why we don't see this more often, from ~160-170mm on up. Especially on e-bikes. I suppose price is part of it, but my real guess is what I'm going to call "mimesis"; we all broadly follow more than we lead. And breaking convention is hard.
