Evil's approach to the mullet is "party harder in front," and that's just what the Evil Insurgent MX X01 Complete Mountain Bike does. On a bike like this, the larger front wheel serves to increase velocities all over the place: cornering, rock gardens, and jump faces too. If it's steep and gnarly, the mixed wheel Insurgent is a bike you're going to love. All the DW-Link goodness is still here, the crisp X01 shifting, the quick Evil handling. It's just that with a ZEB holding on to a 29" wheel up front, this bike positively FLIES. 27.5 ain't dead, it just teamed up with 29 to get even nastier.

DELTA System Suspension – The DELTA system was conceived to, among other things, achieve very complex leverage rate curves that can be used to tune for varying track conditions, spring, and damper parameters. The dual progressive leverage rate curve was developed for coil sprung downhill applications to take advantage of the speed sensitive shocks on the market. Mechanically, the system uses very compact links that can achieve a lot of angle and velocity change through the travel. Evil can tailor the leverage rate curve to really take advantage of the shock's valving and the way that a speed sensitive damper is designed to work. Ultimately the design achieves a high degree of suppleness early in the travel, with a very predictable high traction stage through the middle and a bottomless ramp at the end of the travel.
