Graham Agassiz has announced he will not be riding for Evil in 2021 and beyond. Aggy joined Evil at the start of 2019 following a 12 year run with Kona. In his time with the brand, he competed in Red Bull Rampage and starred in films such as Accomplice.
| After two amazing years bleeding black it’s time for me to move on. I can’t thank the Black Collars, Kevin, Chad, Jason, Cal and all the boys enough for all the good times the last couple of years. Here’s to the future. Ruh ruh ruh.—Graham Agassiz |
We
published rumors earlier in the year that Aggy would be heading to YT next although we have heard nothing since and have no confirmed news at this point. We will update you with Aggy's new frame sponsor as the news drops.
They are the most surfy and fun bike I’ve ever ridden. They do exactly what they are built for. Wish I could afford one!
rebound is either deathly fast or retardedly slow, and the rear of the bike never jives with the front, regardless of which fork you're running.
they need to ditch the delta box and move into the 2020's with their kinemetics as well as geo
Not ridden one but struggling to get my head around that.
‘Because kinematics’..... because made up.
I never knew about this frame saga. Sounds like quite the disaster for the company. Amazing they survived it in this cutthroat day and age.
Lots of companies produce bikes with the 2 rates but are much easier to tune.
My comment didn’t have anything to do with Evil. It was more on the very tiring dentist cliche. Especially when a person with several bikes is seemingly calling others out for spending a lot of $ on bikes. Was more of a fun jab at any rate. I’m certainly not one to talk about how much others spend on bikes. I’ve got my own problem!
My dentist comment has to do with marketing that is all about how blue-collar and hardcore the brand is, now give me 3500 for a frame. the marketing and the price dont align to me.
It's located in Kamloops BC where Aggy is from

Pity after only 6 weeks or riding & paying full RRP price for the brand new frame the swing arm snapped,
Evil denied that the frame would “just snap” argued black & blue & they wiped their hands clean of the piss poor warranty they claim to have.
Absolute joke of a company. $3000 frame,6 weeks of weekend riding , no warranty. Seems like a good deal eh.
Still fuming 3 years late.
Anyone considering buying one, just don’t.
Hence, more travel and possibly larger wheels may render less bottom out if your bottoming too often; don't want to ruin that shox !! You can try running 22% sag and add several clicks of compression that helps some but it won't feel as poppy and the bike will ride higher (good -climbing / pedaling / BB height). For this reason CasadeComponents makes a link that increases progression for bottom out resistance and adds additional travel to the Offering but comes with a hefty price.

I’ll watch Agassiz ride on whatever frame, but it would have been cool to see him and Sorge as teammates for a couple seasons.
Probs do some proof reading James.
There is no riders joining teams?
