i assume it uses iscg 05 isn`t it?
any info about the warranty (how many years?)? what`s the ID of the seat tube?

It's not a norco, you're not allowed to buy one right?
Great idea to include several decal kits
I see myself on a black one with green decals around June.Any Info on the final weight?
frame only, no shock = claimed 8.25lbs
what other company comes with other decal sets? was it transition?
The Revolt won't be coming in that light, at least not in year one. Maybe after some development time with the team and athletes. It won't be overly heavy but it's not some waif like bike either. I was playing with a proto last week and with full Saint, a 40 (with steel springs), MTX wheels, DH tires & tubes, and some other chunky components it was 41.1. So, getting under 40 won't be hard at all.

Does that happen to match up with the seat tube from a Sunday/7point? I tried to look it up but I'm at work and it blocks almost all bike sites except for RM???

The Sunday is 30.0mm, I would assume the 7Point is the same.
No, but it matches 75% of the other bikes on the market. Virtually any shop should stock this size, especially if the sell Specialized, Giant, Trek, or Santa Cruz.

Yup. The Sunday/7point/6point are all 30.0.
That's what I was afraid of. I'll add a new seat post to my list of parts needed.
sweet jesus, my bank account is fully prepared for this hit.
Wait, you ride a VP-Free, and are complaining that the Revolt's BB is too high? Yeahhhhh....Almost, 6'7", 215
XL VP-free (with some small changes). As for making turns, you just gotta muscle your way through it. Maybe a lifting mad tite drifting from time to time. That's part of the reason us big guys need lower BB's, well, that and our higher center of mass.
Todd,
I heard that it will be slightly ligter than a sunday - correct?
However i guess it will not take too long until we see one in the sub 40 thread anyway..........
interesting... that is whay YOUR rep (erik) told me 2 days ago
Headed to ride my sub 40 pound Evil tomorrow... stoked.
With race wheels and final setup I should be sitting at 37 pretty easy.
Holy huge billets guys.. that's freaken overkill or awesome... I can't decide which....and BTW the bottom bracket, ISCG and main pivot section are one piece on the TR450 as well. Check out the pic...
That's fair.Never said the VP-free's BB height was ideal. Also, never said my VP-free geo was stock
But seriously, the stock geo on those things is insane.
what colors are they coming in? is there a anno option too?
im hoping to have one next week as well. Gabe said they'll be in later this week. woohoo!
Saw the bike in real life being walked by Stevie Smith to the Sea Otter DH course. Fackin' amazing.
powdercoat im assuming?
Damn, I has hoping for Krylon
Spooky patented that method in the late 90s.
Why the ambiguous indication of weight? A built up weight gives little indication of the frame weight itself. I'm sure you guys would have weighed the frames, as it's an important stat on DH frames these days.
What will the frame weigh in the first year (w/o shock, but with axle and mounting hardware).
Bearing in mind the focus on weight in the DH community, I'm sure you could oblige us with this figure if it isn't the very impressively low 8.25lbs claimed earlier in the thread.
Thanks,
JT
You mean the focus on weight in the internet community. And boy do they like to make a fuss over it.
That's it...I'm going out to the shed and weighing that damn thing and calling your bluff!
We'll post weights when we receive the true production frames this week and plug in DHX5.0 shocks. I don't think anyone from Evil has ever publicly stated a weight. dw discussed the potential of the design getting to an "x.yz" weight at a future time in an interview, but I don't think anything was ever stated saying frame weights "abcd" grams.
The weight I put up of 41.1 lbs was weighed on a Park digital hanging scale of Vanderham's size medium proto frame with Marzocchi Roco shock, full Saint group, my personal 09 Fox 40, a Sun MTX wheelset with 2.5 Highrollers & DH tubes.
While DH racers might be weight whores in general, the professional athletes who consulted on the design and testing of the Revolt all unanimously put geometry, suspension performance, and durability ahead of weight. The weight is surely competitive. By no means the lightest, by no means the heaviest but probably the best riding.

case closed.
This is a serious concern of mine with a lot of new frames. When I go riding, it includes putting my bike on the rough tailgate of my beat ass yota and rallyin up a haggard fireroad all day.
It doesn't include carefully putting my bike in an expensive rack system and worrying about not scratching anything.
