Evil Bikes
The Devil Is in the Details
Headquartered in the mountain bike mecca of Bellingham, Washington, Evil BIkes is rider owned, designed and operated.
Evil arrived on the scene in 2009, but the names behind the brand started making noise in the World Cup circuit after designing a winning downhill bike under the name Iron Horse. Downhill legend Sam Hill rode to two consecutive world championship wins before Iron Horse unexpectedly folded. From the ashes rose Evil Bikes.
Collaborating on suspension design with MTB suspension guru, Dave Weagle, Evil Bikes immediately turned industry heads with their unique design approach and rave ride reviews.
The Magic Potion
DELTA Suspension System
Evil summoned suspension legend, Dave Weagle, to design Evil's DELTA (Dave's Extra Legitimate Travel Apparatus) suspension system that delivers the signature ride unlike any other.
The Delta System utilizes several compact links, which respond impressively to rapid angle and velocity change. It's unique design allows it to achieve complex leverage rate curves. Meaning, whether your rear wheel is reacting to spaced out big hits or rapid small chatter, the suspension keeps up - delivering a smooth, controlled ride.
Furthermore, the rear linkage is extremely tune-able, whether making a quick geometry adjustment with the integrated "flip-chip" or swapping linkage to install a rear shock of your choosing, the Delta System lets you dial things in your way.
Current Popular Lineup
Following
The Following is quick and playful, climbs fast and descends impressively well for a shorter travel bike. It's for riders who value pedaling efficiency for big days in the saddle. The 120mm of travel is extra progressive and poppy, so riders can attack berms, gaps, and rock gardens at speeds that other 120mm bikes wouldn’t dare attempt.
Offering
The Offering is wildly versatile. 140mm of rear travel fused with strong climbing geometry makes this bike a true trail wizard for riders who still value pedal efficiency even on steep, technical terrain.
Wreckoning
The Wreckoning is built to take on anything. There’s plenty of pedaling efficiency with the steep seat tube angle, but with 166mm of rear suspension this 29er is burly.
Insurgent
The Insurgent is the embodiment of fun. This big-travel toy is designed for one thing: feeling confident on big trails. Available in 27.5” or MX with a 29” front wheel. Choose MX for a little extra speed and front wheel roll-over capability or go full 27.5" for ultimate nimble handling. Whichever you choose, you'll be treated to a lively, forgiving trail tool that powers up hills and flies back down.
Chamois Hagar
Progressive geometry and drop bars? Evil brings forth a gravel offering that'll indoctrinate even the most resilient. The Chamois Hagar has a slack head tube, dropper post, clearance for 50mm tires, and long reach to make it forgiving and stable. Sounding a little like your enduro bike? We look forward to seeing you at our next gravel gathering.

"This bike continues to exceed expectations. It's fast and efficient for climbs/flats and hasn't held me back on technical descents."
