Take any idea or preconceived notions you have about a 29'er, calmly board a ship out to the middle of the ocean and sink them to the bottom of the deep blue because that is where they belong. When you're talking about the Evil Following MB X01 Eagle LTD Complete Mountain Bike and its dialed geometry, all that really needs to be said is "frickin' A, lets ride!" Sporting a new trunnion mount linkage that adds precision to the 120mm of versatile travel, riding is the only thing you will ever want to do from here on out. Coupled with a cream of the crop SRAM Eagle™ X01 12-speed drivetrain and legendary Fox factory suspension, the Evil Following MB X01 Eagle LTD Complete Mountain Bike will blow away your expectations of what it means to ride a 29er.
UD Carbon Frame with Internal Cable Routing + Integrated Upper Guide
Plastic Fantastic – Uni Directional Carbon with One Piece Molded construction from one of the best factories in the business.
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.
Fox Float DPX2 Factory Shock – Fox's most advanced trail shock ever, the DPX2 combines small bump sensitivity and an improved adjustment range. Combining the best of X2 and DPS, the DPX2 features a recirculating oil damper design with the convenience of three on-the-fly compression damping positions. One piece air sleeve with Genuine Kashima Coat.
Shock Adjustments – Lever Actuated Open, Medium, and Firm Modes, 10 Clicks of Open Mode Range, Rebound Adjust, 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.
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.
Integrated e13 Chainguide – Fully integrated carbon chainguide to keep that chain on. Lower chainguide and bash guard compatible.
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
Fox 34 Float Factory – "Factory” says it all. The best-of-the-best technology with buttery smooth and ultra durable Genuine Kashima Coat. Designed for trail riding, the Factory Series 34 features a FIT4 damper, FLOAT EVOL air spring, and lightweight chassis. The 34 provides proven trail performance that instills confidence and control.
Fork Adjustments – FIT4 3-Position Lever Adjust with Open, Medium, Firm Modes, External Rebound, Air Spring Pressure
SRAM X01 Eagle™ 12-Speed Shifter – Tucked neatly beneath your handlebars, the X01 Eagle™ X-ACTUATION™ trigger shifter is the nerve 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. Whether you’re 4 stages into the race or days away from civilization, the X01 Eagle™ trigger shifter is your faithful 1x touch point.
SRAM X01 Eagle™ Crankset – SRAM knows you have a lot of choices when choosing a crankset, and that choice says a lot about your personal style. They designed the new X01 Eagle™ crankset for riders who feel most stylish when they stand on top of the podium. This is a completely reengineered design, employing SRAM's proprietary CARBON TUNED™ lay-up technology. Built tough, to handle aggressive lines through rock gardens and big hits wherever you find them, the new X01 Eagle™ is the strongest, stiffest, lightest crankset available. Combined with the new Eagle™ direct mount chainrings, and as an integral part of the Eagle™ drivetrain, this is a crankset that gives your ride a winning style—assuming you’re into that sort of thing.
SRAM X01 Eagle™ Rear Derailleur – This new derailleur not only answers the Eagle™ drivetrain’s need for greater capacity, but it’s also the next evolution of SRAM's proven, 1x-specific X-HORIZON™ design. The larger, 14-tooth X-SYNC™ lower pulley allows 10- to 50-tooth cassette capacity in this relatively compact design, 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-1295 Eagle™ Cassette – Take a quick look at the new X-DOME™ Eagle™ cassette. The last dangling shred of an argument in favor of a mountain bike front derailleur is now officially dead. Designed for use with SRAM's proven, reliable XD™ driver body, this 12-speed, 10- to 50-tooth cassette offers an optimal 500-percent gear range at a considerably lighter weight than 2x systems. It carries with it the X-DOME™ architecture, which, independent tests have concluded, yields the strongest cassettes on the market. New shifting characteristics improve both, inboard and outboard shifting, as well as chain retention.
SRAM X01 Eagle™ Chain – It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it’s also the biggest contributor to the Eagle™ drivetrain’s ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle™ chain’s links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. HARD CHROME™ technology extends the chain’s optimal performance life.
SRAM Code RSC Brakeset – Code RSC is built from the elements that made Guide a benchmark in contemporary brake design and performance, and delivers an extra 15% power to shine in all heavy duty applications. SwingLink™ and Lever Pivot Bearings ensure a smooth and progressive feel at the lever, while the additional 30% positive fluid volume ensures consistent performance even when braking harder, more frequently or with a heavier mass to slow down.
SRAM 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.
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 Race Carbon Wheelset – Built for anything you can throw at them. TRSr wheels are designed to withstand the rigors of EWS racing, but are just at home on all day epics. Developed with the United Ride team, TRSr wheels feature new 31mm wide hookless carbon rims and large hub flanges for wheels that are stiff, light and durable. All wheels come tubeless ready with tape and valves installed.
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!
Bike Yoke Revive Dropper Post with PNW Components Loam Lever – With a simple design that requires only two seals in its hydraulic circuit, the Revive is the smoothest operator in the game. If in the rare case it does develop some air in the system, its Revive Valve allows for instant and easy bleeding. Combined with a PNW Components Loam Lever, the thumb-friendliest lever known to handkind, this dropper is actually a joy to use.
