If all goes good, they will be replacing Revolt frames in summer 2011. That sounds like they're on some good point. Hopefully.That's a big article considering it's a single prototype being discussed.
Im going to be the first one to say that that article was actually good news.
Answer were honest about what happened with the past and they seem to be moving forward from all the negativity.
Agreed, and good on them for speaking up and openly about the issues. Also seems like they really want to make it right for their current customers waiting on warranty frames.That PB interview is pretty candid.
Too bad 300+ crooked Revolts are sitting in Taiwan that will never get ridden
Current Evil customers with pending Revolt warranty cases will be issued Undead frames as warranties for their Revolts when production is ready.
you're not waiting anymore though...the wait continues
nice to see they finally changed the DELTA linkage and its connecting parts
Nope, Kevis states this is the first frame from the "second version" of the company, not the frame. He says this is sort of a new beginning for them.interesting to see they're calling this carbon rig 'evil 2.0' surely that should be 3.0? on a less pedantic level it looks great and I wish them all the best with this new version.
not to mention, good god she is gorgeous....integrated fork bumpers/cable guides
removable iscg
downtube shuttle guard
integrated fender
integrated angleset
*only* if i can convince my mom to pay shippingThe big question remains.......... Will this be this years "Best bike ever?"!!!
besides it being carbon (and some hardware tweaks,) it looks almost identical to the last oneI'll be honest, that's by far the best looking DH bike I've ever seen....in my opinion anyway....hope they make a comeback....
It looks like they have tweaked the shock actuation too... it's not floating any longer. Can't really see from the pic but sounds like the bottom shock mount is on the front triangle and not the rear triangle.besides it being carbon (and some hardware tweaks,) it looks almost identical to the last one
aesthetically, its pretty similar though. getting rid of the floating shock is a good idea IMO since alignment issues wont be as big of a concern.It looks like they have tweaked the shock actuation too... it's not floating any longer.

how does having a non-floating shock affect the behavior of the delta-link? I thought that the whole system was kinda dependent on that to achieve what DW wanted to...aesthetically, its pretty similar though. getting rid of the floating shock is a good idea IMO since alignment issues wont be as big of a concern.
beats the sh!t outa me. i only stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.how does having a non-floating shock affect the behavior of the delta-link? I thought that the whole system was kinda dependent on that to achieve what DW wanted to...
Either that or it was just mad marketing bull****.I thought that the whole system was kinda dependent on that to achieve what DW wanted to...
yeah, i thought the old one looked really really good...the lines on the new one look rad...the fork bumpers, the downtube protection, new headtube all look good...the area that houses the shock looks super clean...time will tell how the bike works out, but i'm digging the aesthetics for sure....besides it being carbon (and some hardware tweaks,) it looks almost identical to the last one
cats out of the bag!
here is the article.

that was exactly my first thought, out of off the carbon dh bikes, or aluminum ones for that matter, this looks like it literally grew out of the ground, super fluid looking.Looks quite a bit different to me, more organic. I like it, damn hot.
