2020 Evil Wreckoning // Bike Review

Reviewer Stats: 5’11” & 215 lbs

The Day of Wreckoning is upon us. And what a joy it is. Evil Bikes didn’t hold back the squish on its updated long-travel 29er, with 170 millimeters of travel in the front and 166 millimeters in the rear. All this travel, combined with the 29-inch wheels, gives the Wreckoning more in common with a downhill bike from a few years ago than its most recent iteration—especially while descending.

These are the best reviews on the internet

I'm pretty sure that's how they recorded the Star Wars speeder bike scene in Return of the Jedi.

That has to be the cleanest looking trail I have ever seen. It literally looks like its gets vacuumed regularly. Excellent job with the video. would be great to see a review from you of the new following v3 on the same trail. curious to see the trade between climbing and descents at both ends of the range.

I simply can't understand the speed you ride the bikes in these reviews... this one especially...

[ericsanderson]

i think this is the most accurate color representation ive seen so far. Received my frameset the other say and was taken back a bit by how "pink" it looks in indoor lighting. Has grown on me and it totally changes to a pretty stunning fluorescent red in direct sunlight. But really tough to capture on camera.

if the measure of a bike in your reviews was the number of guttural sounds and whoops and hollers it produces then it looks like the Wreckoning is topping the list so far!

This video is why I am getting my 2023 xo1 in a week. Thank you so much. I have to say, out of all the videos, it looks like you had the most fun on this bike. Would like to see the new wrechoning on the same trail.

Can you imagine if this dude could actually shred? (kidding, holy shit dude, best review ever.) Finally a critic WITH credentials.

[abassi]

This guy shreds unbelievably hard. No words.

I rode a V3 today and every thing he said is true. Sickest bike i have ever ridden!

[asselinpower]

Solid man! Your reviews are the best out there . Was waiting for that one, I have been riding a Calling for the last 3 years and I absolutely love it. The new Wreckoning could be the only bike that makes me want to change it.

[stefankonigsmayr]

Your reviews are the best out there. A rider who is really able to tell the differences between different bikes and who is eloquent enough to bring it to the point wirhout always saying the same phrases. Thumbs up! You helped me a lot finding my new bike!

[brandonperez]

The amount of laughter just sold this bike to me.

[JordiFloresSoy]

I've got the 2017 wreckoning and following, and must say that the Delta system is something apart. Love the way this can pedal so well and be so supple at descends.

[timotheyszczepanski]

Your flat turn technique is mesmerizing

[brian_simmons_]

Bike looks awesome. Would love to see you try out a Forbidden Druid

[ji]

im having a hard time paying attention to what you're saying while watching you ride, how much more for you, riding like that while doing a review. much respect. \m/

[chrisgravel]

Sick riding and great reviews! After watching a half dozen or so with you on several big trail/enduro bikes your reaction to the Evil puts it at the top of my want to demo list

[cyclefactoryuk]

Excellent review 👏, I've just spent the weekend riding one back to back with my 2 year old Wreckoning LB. All your points are spot on, you have verbalised a lot of my thoughts that I hadn't 🤣 in my review!

[kobracom]

This is my fave MTB vid yet, for reviews....You can very clearly see the fun this bike can afford you....Thanks Dude....Awesome work.
