Spotted: Evil's Unreleased eMTB
I distinctly remember a conversation between Troy Lee and Kevin Walsh, 5 or 6 years ago, in which Troy asked when Evil would release an E-bike into the game. True to form, the response was nothing short of E-bike condemnation. Fast forward and it was inevitable. Personally I think Delta would be an awesome platform for a heavy machine.. the DW link E-bikes are a cut above in my humble opinion.. midstroke support over everything at with that kind of mass under yee

Feb 6, 2020Evil Following MB Hawaiian Tee Dream Build
$4500 USDThis bike was built for someone who likes to PARTY!
The looks are assuredly polarizing.. if you get it... then you just get it... and frankly, most people love it.
I'm happy to keep her around, as it is the most playful bike I have ever rode, but I'm trying to buy a KTM 2-stroke that I can't afford, so here we are.
Sickest of components!
Following MB Size Large (Hawaiian Decals on Olive frame... sounds crazy, looks epic, enough said)
Grip Damper Orange Fox 36 (HSC/LSC)
Chris King Matte Punch Limited edition hubs laced to the magical DT Swiss EX511 rim. Strong, light, shrugs off hits like my ENVE's never did.. (in regards to deflection of course) Laced to White Sapim CX-Rays ($240 just in spokes) These are the best wheels I have ever run, and I have ran the gamut of ENVE carbon, Reynolds latest work etc. These changed riding again for me, as they glance off square-edged hits that used to wreck my world.
Next R Cranks
The brakes on this bike are the latest Shimano XTR 4-Piston ($650) they are as good as it gets in my opinion. Legendary reliability, while alleviating the classic on/off feel Shimano has been known for, with class leading modulation.
XTR 11-speed drivetrain
Renthal cockpit
DMR Brendog grips (comes with an extra pair)
PNW Components Dropper Lever
Fox Transfer 150 dropper
DMR Vault Lacondeguy Oil Slick pedals
Chris King Matte Punch BB and Headset
Definitely missing some stuff, but this is a quick feeler, and she is priced to move. 10k retail cost, 5.5k to the first animal that digs it. I work at a shop, up to date on maintenance, and she is clean (rn) will consider trade for the right dirtbike.

Nicolai's Electronically Shifted Gearbox Enduro Bike - Interbike 2018
@brytar: I'm so happy to wake this thread back up. VPP is the fucking worst, even in 2019
Santa Cruz is just lazy at this point to not redesign the platform. Nothing like a dead, muted ride, with no character at all, but its marketed nicely with a great paint job.

Gear Guide: 10 Fenders for Sloppy Winter Mountain Biking
Pinkbike: why didn't you review the nicer Mudhugger front fenders as opposed to the SL? We've sent them several times to your different reviewers. The Mudhugger Long Front and Standard Front are the shining stars of their lineup.
