Evil Bikes Updates The Wreckoning With New Colors & a UDH

Sep 22, 2022

Standing the test of time, Evil's flagship enduro bike, the Wreckoning, has undergone a two small but not so insignificant changes; the addition of SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger and captive shock washers for less fiddling. Looking at the stats, the 166mm of rear wheel travel and geometry table remain the same. Evil decided to add the "LS" designation to signify the updates to the long-travel Wreckoning and throw on two batches of fresh paint with colors dubbed Baja Fog and Clay Porter.

Sleuths from the XC World Cup and Enduro World Series have snapped photos of a futuristic looking SRAM derailleur that appears to use a new way to attach the rear derailleur. With looming updates from the drivetrain giant, Evil didn't want to be left out of the UDH party. As early adopters of 157 SuperBoost though, they've decided to hold onto the wider rear hub spacing to maintain certain ride characteristics.

Up front, the main triangle retains the current sizing chart and 64.6-degree head tube angle, but the shock mount on the Delta suspension system has been revised to retain the spacers when removing the shock. Tagging along with the revised shock mount, Evil will offer registered frame owners, from 2022 and onwards, a free bearing kit once per season.

Wreckoning LS bikes will be available online through evil-bikes.com using the current component specifications and price points.

 I'm pretty sure I've only seen the yellow maxxis logos on the tyres in shops. The white writing is for the tyres that come on bikes from the bike factory. As far as I know the tyres come from the same moulds, in the same factory, but that's where the similarities end. One pile of tyres has white logos applied by the operatives and is then sent to large cardboard boxes, which are then sent to bike factories all around Taiwan and the rest of the world. The other pile has yellow labels applied, and the tyres are then wrapped around orange cards and zip tied closed. These tyres are carefully packed and shipped off to bike shops around the world. There is another colour of Maxxis sticker in use, for both bike factory tyres and shop tyres. They are little seen, but very nice all the same.

 @SEA5ONS: The English language, although spoken reasonably effectively in many countries, contains in its truest form, innumerate arcane and obtuse rules known only to those born on the British Isles. Neither written nor passed down orally, the rules appear to just be naturally hardwired into the British brain, and we are as bemused by them as you guys. It has been postulated that it may not even be possible to express the most obscure rules verbally, as, for example, if you show any English person the words "drought" and "draught", they will tell you that it's bloody obvious that you pronounce the first with a W and the second with an F. But they wont be able to tell you why.

 In fact, yellow label denotes "aftermarket" and white label denotes "OEM": important colour distinctions.
  • 3 0
 Just to clear up the label colour:

White label Maxxis are always OEM
Aftermarket Maxxis are always yellow

BUT... Yellow label can be either OE or AM tyres, as its the choice of the OE customer what colour they get on the tyre.

 @VtVolk: in my experience, they aren’t prone to early bearing failure. I replaced mine after a season of riding (~4000 miles and a couple hundred washes) and they were totally fine. Replacing them was unnecessary. So unless there has been a huge change recently, owners will probably end up with a surplus of bearings as time goes on

 @whitedlite: ah man i hope you are able to get out and enjoy the fall weather while it lasts! I might ride more than average but i am sure lots of avid riders get more mileage than that. I think the most I've ridden in a year is about 4,700-4,800. Thankfully, I have a rad schedule that allows me to get out every day for rides. I aim to get about 175-200 days a year on the bike and at least 100 skiing. We have snow on the mountains 5+ months a year, so getting the biking days in is very weather dependent. An early or a late winter can easily chop a month or more off of our high altitude riding (where most of the best trails are).
  • 6 4
 @wpplayer18: clean bikes ride better and last longer than dirty ones. I just changed a bearing on a set of wheels i've had for 5 years (easily 10,000 miles or more). It was the first to fail. It only takes 5-10 minutes to clean the bike and then it is ready for the next adventure. Also, cleaning your bike is a great way to inspect for damage, wear and tear items that need to be replaced, and bolts coming loose or whatever.

 @BornOnTwo: is it though?

 @CM999: spin the bearings several revolutions whenever the shock is removed or remove dust seals when cleaning linkages and pack with good waterproof wheel bearing grease. No need to install new bearings and spend the money. bearings will last a long time if this is done.

But free bearings is a deal!

 @likeittacky: drivetrain once a week or as needed, wipe down suspension before a ride. Annual suspension service and investigate creaks when they pop up.

 148 is absolutely fine. 142 really wasn't an issue at all. You could run 12 speed xd on that spacing. Im sure standards will change again so that bike manufacturers can sell more bikes, but im more than happy with 148 for at least the next 5 years.

 @hilldescentcontrol:

I've seen/heard this one... but I'm not sure how relevant it is.

My 2018 Kona Process 153 29'er... had 425mm chainstays, and a 148 boost rear hub. It fit the Michelin Wild enduro rear (2.4) just fine. And thats about as short of a chainstay I've seen on a long travel 29'er. Thats 5-7mm shorter than the Wreckoning, with 157 superboost hubs.

Also, to some extent, there is the question of "how short of chainstays do we want". I know there are two groups on that, but it does seem that on average chainstays have been growing lately on long travel bikes, in an effort to help weight the front tire.

And I can't imagine that superboost is super relevant for bikes with 440+ chainstay lengths. At least not with normal tire sizes anyway.
  • 1 0
 @ocnlogan: I think it´s a matter of chainstay lenght, packacking, wanted frame charecteristics (flex), frame strength, drivetrain reliability and a bit of function and wheel strenght.

About the weighting front wheel thing, I´m sure it does a big difference for some, I dont know the weight distribution is on a bike and how much of differnce it actually makes when active on a bike. I´m more than happy to ride a smaller nimbler bike and compromise on stability. Also a bit longer stem works wonder and dosen´t compromise on my turning radius, different bikes for different vibes I suppose.

 @Noeserd: true, but won’t be the same for all bikes. Depends on the suspension design. Some brands have enough room to move the linkage around without changing to kinematics of the bike too much. Others don’t have the room, so they widen the hub spacing to allow better tire clearance and shorter chainstays. That’s my understanding of it at least.

 @likeittacky: those are the geo number with a 160 fork, most are running it with a 170 which puts the seat angle to 75.7 in extra low. I love mine, but that's the one tweak I'd really be wanting for the next version. That and in frame storage.
  • 1 0
 @likeittacky: I’m a taller rider on an XL frame. There’s no reason the larger frames can’t have a steeper seat tube to land the saddle in a location that keeps the bike balanced. The actual seat tube angle on all Evils is such that once the saddle goes above the head tube, the real seat angle is very slack. Great bikes in small and medium sizes.
  • 3 0
 The thing that puts me off getting one of these is that on the XL you can't slam a 210mm or similar dropper into the seat tube due to the frame design. Think I'm right in saying also that the seat tube is a bit on the high side. Both of these issues combined means the seat will get in the way

 Is it just me or does the seat tube angle look slack AF?
  • 2 0
 yes, it does look slack, when you're on it it feels real good ( 170 xlow ), the megatower for example looks steeper but feels slack af when climbing, figure it out

 If LB meant a "Little Betterer," does that mean LS is a "Little Shittier?"

 You can always count on Evil for psych/stoner rock in their promo videos, which is nice.

 @Muchogusto: i don't know what's to complain, they got bad reputation in the past but, customer service is top notch, every question you have gets answered really quickly, warranty is one of the best, quick deliveries ( in europe ) i don't know how's in the us but in europe? sweet af

 @NicolaZesty314: lack of support coupled with bad attitudes while waiting 9 months for product. Once delivered, the frame has been great, however. I’m happy you’ve had a good customer experience in Europe.

 I vomited in my mouth after seeing that seat tube.

 did you even try one and see how it climbs?
  • 1 0
 @NicolaZesty314: it would only climb 'well' if it fits you. The previous commentator is probably tall and has spent many years riding uncomfortably hanging over the rear axle on bikes.

 Anyone else surprised the head angle doesn't start with a 63º
  • 2 2
 Actually, I'm surprised they changed the colors on a bike that is so dated, kinda seems like a waste of time really.
