Evil Following AXS Mountain Bike - 2018, Large

The 2018 Evil Following redefined what short-travel 29ers could do, pairing 120mm of rear travel with a playful, aggressive geometry that blurred the line between XC efficiency and trail bike rowdiness. Built around a stiff, lightweight carbon frame with Evil’s DELTA Link suspension system, the Following delivered razor-sharp handling, impressive small-bump sensitivity, and a lively pop that made it just as capable on techy climbs as it was on sketchy descents. With a slack head angle and roomy reach numbers ahead of its time, the 2018 Following wasn’t about crushing KOMs — it was about making every mile more fun.
