About Evil
Evil Bike Co. is rider-owned and built in Bellingham, Washington. Suspension engineer Dave Weagle created the original Evil and its DELTA linkage patent in the mid-2000s; Kevin Walsh bought the company and the patent in 2008 and relaunched it in 2009. The crew came out of the Iron Horse race program, the brand behind the Sunday downhill bike that carried Sam Hill to World Cup wins.
Every full-suspension Evil runs the DELTA System, short for Dave’s Extra Legitimate Travel Apparatus. A pair of compact triangular links drives the shock through a highly progressive leverage curve: supple and traction-rich off the top, supportive through the middle, and bottomless at the end. Most models add a flip-chip with two geometry settings Evil calls Low and X-Low.
The lineup is carbon, aggressive, and named with a straight face: The Following, The Offering, The Wreckoning, The Insurgent. Geometry runs long, low, and slack across trail, enduro, and gravity, with the Epocalypse e-MTB and the deliberately under-built Chamois Hagar gravel bike at the edges. Evil sells framesets and complete builds, all designed and assembled by riders who ride what they build.
Most popular Evil models
Evil’s range is small, carbon, and unapologetically gravity-minded. The Following is the short-travel trail bike at 120mm, the most pedal-friendly Evil but still long and slack. The Offering, redesigned for 2026, sits at 151mm with in-frame storage and adjustable geometry, the do-everything trail-enduro crossover. The Wreckoning runs 166mm of big-wheel travel, the closest thing to a downhill bike you can still pedal uphill, and the Insurgent is the playful 168mm enduro built for air over outright speed.
At the edges sit three outliers. The Chamois Hagar takes Evil’s slack MTB thinking to drop bars, a gravel bike happy on near-trail terrain, and the Faction is a $699 26-inch dirt-jump hardtail, the lone alloy frame in a carbon range. The Epocalypse brings DELTA suspension to a full-power enduro e-MTB, and because an e-MTB carries a heavier replacement value than most homeowner’s policies will cover, stand-alone electric bike insurance from Velosurance fills the gap.
