Great review! I value your opinion and I personal impressions of this bike. I’ve been stuck on hardtail’s for a while now searching for something with more squish to add to my quiver.
Agreed 1000% on my LS. Bumped the front to 140...1 deg angle set and added some TRP DH-R Evo"s to slow the rocket ship down. Holy hell does it put a smile on my face.
Hi everyone! I just stumbled across this nice video/review and I was wondering if someone could acutally out of experience let me know if a size XL could/would also fit for a guy which is ~187cm in the US metric 6 feet 2 inches?
Xl would be good. I'm 6'01" (200lbs) and ride a large and feel it's a bit small for my size. Then again, I like how nimble and throwable the size is. I would go XL at your size, for surem
I'm 6'2" 190lbs and the XL is great form me. But i'm riding the Following LS(it's bigger brother)which is more of an All Mountain bike compared to the Following which is more of a trail bike. I have ridden the new Following(friend has one)and it's probably the best single track/trail bike I've ever ridden. I just wanted something a bit more capable for bike park rides and rowdier terrain. Not sure what your level of riding experience is but I think it's a great bike for all level of riders....just have your suspension set up for you if you're a new rider. Good luck.
@leggoego @@Peanutdenver The Following LS is just the V3 with a different rear mech hanger (UDH) that can use SRAM Transmission. The "bigger brother" to this bike is The Offering.
Always wanted one from the first time I saw them but I don't think they were available in Australia when I was looking, ended up on a Niner (and loved that). Now I'm an old fart riding an aggressive e-bike to maintain the riding fun and I'm not even sure that Evil even does an e-bike. oh well!!!

People that don't own an Evil have just never ridden one.
My Following LS will be here in a few days!!!
I might get this bike, but i want something from freeride
Thanks for the review. Im trying to decide between this or the offering v2 for my first bike. Youve made it a litter harder to decide now 😅
Not hard. Get the offering. It's better
Would love to see a comparison between this and the Yeti SB120!
Just thinking the same thing. Love my 120, this would be the closest thing to it I think.
Love mine! I have a SID at front though

I’m almost 6’4” and I ride an XL and it fits me great
How big are you? I'm 6ft 215lbs would this be a comfortable length for a bigger guy?

@@byelick That's what I meant to write and had a massive brain malfunction.
@@Peanutdenver 👍 ok, that makes sense.
I have an Offering too. Sick bike!
@@byelick100%... my absolute favorite. I had a Orbea Occam before and the offering is so much more playful, I love it too.

Yes they make an ebike, called the Epocalypse.
I gotta disagree... ive ridden the following... and the offering.. the offering is way better. Especially with a coil setup really stiff
This bike has some of the worst pedal kick back and braking under compression behavior
