Hey Evil Bikes. I'd love to see what is new with your company, who your riders are, and potential shop for one of your bikes. But your website hasn't been updated in years. And your 'team' link goes to the Mondraker race team website. If you can't build and maintain a website, should I have confidence in your bikes and customer service?
Sounds pretty "Evil" to me, although it might be a case like Ferrari where the company selects their customers from the pool and not the other way around.
Its basically a one man show at Evil, kevin does almost evrything. From frame engineering to sales rep, so a website is kinda hard to do especially for a small company. Something is better than nothing.
I would guess they need to sell a shitload of units to make up for all the warranties they gave out with the first batch of undeads. I've ridden my mate's undead, which was a warranty from a revolt, and it both looks and rides the part... but it broke after about two months on the little dogbone links between the rocker and the swingarm. Same place as the revolt broke, but I think it was a bearing problem on the undead, rather than a problem with the engineering.
I like the sound of that bike but with 180 travel and a single crown fork. Bikes don't get better looking than a matt black undead.
- bik34life, I get what you're saying but that is why you pay a third party developer to do it. To not even have a few pictures and the spec of your latest bike just seems crazy. This is the downside of having a website built in flash - looks pretty but you need to know what you're doing to update it.
I would love to be involved in helping Evil with a new site! Check us out at bydreamtime.com the whole company rides and has a lot of industry knowledge, combine that with a cool brand and I'm sure it would make for a great partnership. -Eric
I would disagree. Its like how getting bad directions is worse than no directions. Bikes are differentiated not just by technical features but by the impression and opinion of a brand. Nobody except the most retrogrouchy engineer looks at technical features alone. And in the high viz world of DH bikes and action sports in general, not being up with the times is worse than not doing anything.
There are ways to gain exposure without a big flashy website. But a website is the first place people turn to for information.
"daves extra long travel apparatus"..... bit of a mad name for a suspension linkage... bikes look sweet though especially the black and yellow colour scheme
Looks similar to a devinci Wilson. Anyone else agree? Before anyone comments, yes I know mr weasels suspension designs are used on both bikes. Just saying if you don't like the lack of website, distributors, etc... that perhaps looking at the Wilson might be a good alternative.
those Bikes r soooo siCk. ..ya website 101=its better to have no site than have one with broken links, useless data, and/or an "under contruction" notice!
Nothing to do with bikes so you're all safe. Unless you're diabetic.

Note to Strobel: Run downhill tubes and just kill it. That sucks. Pulling for you at VDS. f*ck qualifying.
