Evil: a company surrounded by intrigue; mystique. The Following: a trail bike that seems to grab ahold of everyone who tries. Doug breaks down what's new in the third generation of the 120mm 29'er that started the trend of aggressive, playful, short travel trail bikes.

While I'm personally bummed that they went with SuperBoost, it makes sense. Seems like a pretty solid choice
Thanks for this vid!! Want more of this bike!
Great clip, much appreciated. Thanks for all the closeup shots and angles especially.
Our pleasure!
😍 love that bike.
I was sooo looking forward to this because I thought we'd see an actual review of how the bike rides. The information in this video has been available for some time now. Hopefully soon you can talk about how it is out on the trails..
We haven't been able to get out to actually ride it yet. But based on the changes, and how the previous Followings have ridden, I think it's probably safe to say that it's phenomenal :D
Such a weapon!
Nice powerful bike!
Just got my following Thurs, loving it!!!!
Heck yea!! Glad to hear it!
The Following MB "More Better". Absolute genius name
Shoot, I just went to Bellingham and wanted to see them but coved-19 restrictions prevented me from it!
VERY tempting. Love the fact that they didn't super slack it. but they did super boost it which leads me to my only concern,, Heel strikes? It happens more often than I'd like with my boost bikes (one of them being a calling). wouldn't super boost exacerbate the issue on a hard carving peddler like this? I mean for Enduro or downhill super boost makes sense, but for XC/trail? I'm honestly not sure.
Zoubs you can run super boost on a calling?
Never mind didn’t read that right😅
That's a good question, and one that I can't yet answer because I haven't had the opportunity to ride one. It seems some people experience heel strikes often (yourself) and some rarely (me) depending on their foot size, preferred placement, etc. That said, being super boost doesn't necessarily mean that a bike will have less clearance at the chainstay, as the design can compensate for that. I did own a Knolly Fugitive (also superboost) and had no heel strike issues. I'll think about that when I do have a chance to get on one!
Best,
Dan at Fanatik
@@FanatikBikeCo +1 I had this heel striking issue on my old stumpy, but not on my hightower
the amount of swallowing that this dudes doing says something eh, the bike must really be delicious. I agree!
Looks..... evil
Whats the weight?
How much
MB means Much Better.
Here’s the bike, I never rode it... 🥱
At the time we had been asked not to ride the bike. We're looking forward to getting on it ASAP though!
Thanks for watching - Dan at Fanatik
@@FanatikBikeCo any updates on the ride? It's been out since March and no real reviews.
And he got the head angles wrong. Doof.
Why super boost... :(
To make more money
Chances are in a couple years most bikes will be super boost. People asked the same question when boost came out a couple years back. People said the same when 29 and 27.5 wheels came out. The industry slowly comes out with new standards with incremental improvement. If you don't want to deal with new standards then just don't get a new bike.
@@michaelwrigley5438 All the way around. If you don't want to deal with new standards stop using your older bikes and components and buy it all new again. That is the root of the problem.
Ha! I thought I future proofed when I went Boost! I'm putting off buying any new bike until they get to the evident ultimate goal of 1000mm rear spacing.....
Honestly, this is not a DH bike, 135mm would work fine.
FFS this isn’t a review, this is just a rundown of the info that’s available on the website. Why bother if you aren’t going to ride it?
For that reason we did not label it as such. At the time we had been asked not to ride the bike. We're looking forward to getting on it ASAP though!

157 super boost. No thanks. 142 to 148 now 157. Come on. That totally BS
Not rlly lmao, advancements will be made, evils problem was that their bikes were noodles so going to super boost helped the bike a ton with stiffness thru turns. dh bikes have had super boost for a super long time so this isn’t some new development. 29ers need a significant boost in stiffness due to their size which 142 to 148 didn’t do, however, 142 to 157 makes an enormous difference in how the bike is gonna feel in turns and over rough terrain especially if you are heavier. Plus you can have more tire clearance (another issue evil had) and shorter chain stays without comprising suspension travel, geometry and frame layup. There’s nothing but good coming from super boost so I wouldn’t bitch about it, just embrace it because I guarantee that within a few years, a LOT of bikes are gonna be super boost.
@@stubbk3 if you really believe there is still a popular market for 26 inch bikes then go ahead and start your own company selling them. Every other company has dropped them, so you would have 100% of the 26er market. Nobody wants 26inch bikes, so nobody makes them. Who would have guessed. If you truly believe there is a now untapped market for that size then go ahead and put your money where your mouth is. You can go ahead and put 2in tires on there as well cause everyone knows those were better. There have been crappy trends which didn't stick since they didn't make marked improvement, but others have stuck, and likely will be around long into the future. Without companies introducing new standards bikes would go nowhere and we would all still be riding around on rigid 26in modified cruisers.
Why so expensive?
It’s a beautiful bike but come on it’s just a trail bike
As opposed to what other kind of bike that should be more expensive?
