The Evil Insurgent LB GX Eagle Complete Mountain Bike is clean, mean, and butterier than a knee-high pile of garlic knots. An enduro machine that's always worth riding, it has everything you're looking for in a hard-charging bike: enough travel to make the scariest trails actually fun, without being even slightly porcine on the climbs. The 150mm DELTA design suspension out back, combined with a race-spec 160mm Lyrik up front, translate into more chunder-chowing action than should be mechanically possible, opening up new lines on even the most boring trail you know. The rest of the build is up to the task, too, with powerful four-piston brakes and a dependable GX Eagle™ drivetrain. It's time to get on board. Quit wondering. Shred it.
UD Carbon Frame with Internal Dropper Routing + Integrated Upper Guide
Plastic Fantastic – Uni Directional Carbon with One Piece Molded construction from one of the best factories in the business.
Lighter Layup – The new lighter layup improved the overall ride quality, maximizing compliance and stiffness. Evil also managed to drop nearly a half pound from the overall frame weight while retaining the original ride characteristics, max rollover and grip.
Delta Suspension System – 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. 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.
Flip Chip – At the heart of the Delta System is a simple chip that Evil calls the Flip Chip. At its most basic, the Flip Chip allows riders to change bottom bracket height and head angle by flipping the chip. This adjustment leaves the leverage rate curve and orientation of the linkage unchanged. The slight offset in bearing bore creates a simple interface that allows the rider to personalize their ride. It's about finding what works for the way you ride and the terrain you ride in.
Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 Debonair – Monarch Plus provides traction-gaining suppleness, giving you more control over any type of terrain – all in a lightweight bombproof package. Proven Rapid Recovery, DebonAir and Solo Air technologies come standard for this lightweight big hitter. Now with twice the rebound range, Monarch Plus allows you to take your riding to levels you never thought possible with a short and mid travel air shock.
Shock Adjustments – 3-Position Compression (Open, Pedal, Lock) | External Rebound | Air Spring Pressure
Sag Meter – Evil added a fancy integrated SAG meter into the non-drive side Delta Link to make suspension set up easy. Push it forward, sit on your bike, adjust air pressure to 30%, then shred.
Internal Cable Routing – Internal routing for stealth dropper posts. Rear derailleur and brake routing is cleanly routed under the toptube and the rear derailleur cable is internally routed through the swingarm to keep things tidy.
Integrated e13 Chainguide – Fully integrated carbon chainguide to keep that chain on. Lower chainguide and bash guard compatible.
Rubber Protection – Molded Rubber Downtube Protector keeps rocks and debris off the plastic and quiets the ride. Integrated rubber protection for the chainstay and seat stay to keep things peaceful and quiet in the woods.
Custom ISCG05 Mounts – Custom ISCG05 tabs to accommodate Evil's lower guide collaboration with e13 components.
Bolt On Rear Axle – Evil's new axle bolts directly into the derailleur hanger for stiff hassle-free operation.
Boost Rear Axle Spacing – 148mm x 12mm
RockShox Lyrik RC2 – Enduro stages are steeper, longer, and meaner than ever before, and Lyrik RC2 is here to humble them. The new Charger™ 2 RC2 damper offers independent high and low speed compression adjustment to make molehills out of mountains. The new DebonAir™ air spring reduces friction from every single moving part, improving bump absorption and response under load, and drastically reducing rider fatigue. New, shorter offset options make Lyrik RC2 compatible with the confidence-inspiring (and smile-inducing) machines being dreamed up by bike designers around the world.

SRAM Descendent 6K Crankset – The Descendant 6K crankset delivers consistent performance every time out. Featuring SRAM's X-SYNC™2 tooth profile chainring, the Descendant crankset is engineered for complete chain control. Each tooth’s thickness is precisely toleranced and controlled to work seamlessly with the SRAM chain’s inner and outer links.
SRAM GX Eagle™ Trigger Shifter – The challenges of riding a mountain bike should be kept to roots, rocks, mud, trees, jumps, drops and breathing. Putting total control of your gear selection into the thumb of one hand, it’s simple to find the right gear, right now. The GX Eagle™ trigger shifter is the control center of the Eagle™ drivetrain. Its internal works have been updated to include a 12th gear, and improved to enhance trigger feel, precision and durability.
SRAM GX Eagle™ Rear Derailleur – This new GX derailleur not only answers the Eagle™ drivetrain’s need for greater capacity, but it’s also the next evolution of the proven, 1x-specific X-HORIZON™ design. The larger, 14-tooth X-SYNC™ lower pulley allows 10- to 50-tooth cassette, and also adds to Eagle’s overall smooth-pedaling feel. The new, Type-3 ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™ features a smoother torque curve for a quieter, more consistent operation and feel. CAGE LOCK™ has been moved back and out of the way, protecting it from trail debris. And a redesigned, robust mounting system further improves the Eagle™ derailleur’s performance and overall durability.
SRAM XG-1275 Eagle™ Cassette – Ride anywhere with this wide range XG-1275, 10- to 50-tooth Eagle™ cassette that provides the right gear. Fast on the flats. Control on the climbs. Dictate your own pace, anywhere. Only Eagle™ technology is the 1x drivetrain engineered for infinite freedom. FULL PIN™ technology uses lightweight, stamped steel cogs held together with high-strength stainless steel pins. The result: a cassette that’s light and strong. The open design similar to the X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life. New X-GLIDE™2 improves both inboard and outboard shifting, as well as chain retention.
SRAM GX Eagle™ Chain – The GX Eagle™ chain is designed with SRAM’s Eagle™ geometry, the GX Eagle™ chain features solid pin construction, Eagle™ PowerLock® and smooth, efficient shifting that you can count on every time out.
SRAM Guide R Brakeset – What’s it going to take to ride that line? It’s steep. It’s rocky. You’ve passed it a hundred times. But not this time. With the all-new SRAM Guide R, you have the power. Proven 4-piston calipers give you smooth, one-finger control. Features like Reach Adjust let you dial it in just right. And Guide perfectly complements other SRAM components and gives you flawless performance on every ride. Now featuring the World Championship-winning S4 caliper with Bleeding Edge™ and Heat Shield technologies.
Avid Centerline Rotors – The new Centerline Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.
e*thirteen TRS Wheelset – 6061 aluminum enduro-tested and tubeless-ready rims, 30mm internal width. 660 Freehub™ provides quick and responsive power with 6 degree, 60 point engagement. 2090g per set.
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire – The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear Tire – With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo!
RockShox Reverb Stealth Dropper Seatpost – Don’t let its familiar good looks fool you—Reverb is a whole new weapon. Its internals have been completely re-engineered to improve on its already legendary performance and to offer enhanced reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have been re-evaluated and updated to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. Additional bushing overlap also improves performance over time, while new 150- and 170-millimeter travel options are available to tame even the gnarliest of descents. This is the brand-new Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.
