Sam Hill Starts New Project with Foes Bikes
@los36: "disruptor"... I know Brent Foes to be both kind and brilliant. He pioneered long travel Mtb's and I think he's likely to create something really outstanding with Sam Hill. Truth told, I guess I'm a "disruptor" too, so yep, thanks for the compliment!

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
@joni0001984: I appreciate that but remember your Summon was a DH rig and the Evolink was a trail bike. No one was putting 455 Chainstays on a trail bike in 2013. The Summon was a harbinger of things to come, eh!

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
I appreciate that the Evil Following V1 was a favorite bike of yours but how did it "change the game"? The Medium size had a Wheelbase 1143mm, Reach 419mm, HA 67.4, Chainstay 432, Stack 608, Rear Axle Spacing 142...
I mean that was a picture of incredibly average MTB tech in its day. Actually, their current line-up still uses geo that is very old-school. While I rode the bike back then and it was "nice" it I struggle to see any aspects of change it brought to the market?!

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
I love reading all the conjecture on here by people who clearly have never ridden the particular bike they seem to know so much about! Most people have likely never even seen [the subject of their expertise] in real life.

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
@fartymarty: Yes'ish but the G16 chain stay was only 440 and the wheelbase less than the Evolink so while Leo was certainly inspired by the Nicholai he was already past it. In the next few years Leo's geometry will come to be standard fare on most trail/enduro bikes.
