Alpkit (United Kingdom) - Press Release: For local trails, trail-centres, hike-a-bike and enduro duty. Evol keeps coming back for more.

Super fast, super stiff, and all-day pedalable. Active and plush suspension for a bottomless feel and stability at speed that climbs well and descends flat out. Evol keeps coming back for more.

The Evol was designed and tested in the UK – in every season. We’ve chosen custom butted 6061 aluminium tubing for a perfect mix of weight, stiffness and durability. With long (but not ultra-long), low and slack geometry, Evol inspires confidence when descending at high speeds while the low bottom bracket means you can throw it hard into every corner. It pedals well too as the geometry gives a comfortable neutral riding position, keeping your weight central so you won’t waste energy on the uphill slogs (save it for the descent!).

To give that bottomless suspension feel, we’ve used the tried and tested 140mm Horst link suspension with custom tune Rockshox Deluxe RT shock. Combined with the 150mm Rockshox Lyrik, Evol grips brilliantly on climbs and tracks beautifully across difficult surfaces so you won’t get knocked off your line.

We’ve been obsessive when it comes to the little details that matter too. There’s internal cable and stealth dropper routing, clearance for 29 x 2.6 tyres and proper space for a bottle.

Simply put, the Evol is our dream built into a custom-butted alloy reality. An enthusiastic and capable Enduro-lite trail bike designed for enhanced fun-factor as you’re ragging it round the trail. You could take the Evol to an Enduro race, but it’s equally at home on a long day at the local trails.

The Features:

Goldilocks Geometry:

Long, slack and low geometry for a confidence inspiring and forgiving ride. Pedals well too, with more neutral geometry keeping your weight central on the climbs.

Metric Shock Standard:

Designed around metric shock sizing standard, with lengthened shocks and shorter strokes that increase bushing overlap for more smooth, supple, sensitive and reactive suspension action.

Horst link suspension design:

The tried and tested Horst link suspension design allows the suspension to stay active when braking.

Tyre Clearance:

Clearance for up to 29 x 2.6in tyres.

Internal Cable Routing:

Internal routing in the front triangle for clean lines; threaded bottom bracket shell.
