Strengths: Awesome bike, this is not the problem.Weaknesses: Weak points on frame and suspension links leading to frame failure.Bottom Line: Evil bikes has produced a great riding machine but unfortunately they fail miserably at taking care of there product at the warranty level. I cracked the frame in two different spots in October of 09' and attempted to get the issue resolved with Evils warranty department.After sending pictures of the failures to Gabe at Evil they would warranty the frame. He said I would have a replacement within 45 days.I have made several calls to him with most of them unanswered and no call backs, when he did answer it was the same story, 45 days, 45 days, 45 days. Evils reps in the Colorado area refuse to do business with them any more because of these issues. A recent phone call reveled that they got a shipment of frames in two weeks ago, 70 frames, only 20 of the frames passed inspection, six of those frames went to there local bike shop the Fanatik. Where did the rest go? Canada? There not in the States, I called every dealer to see where they went and none of the dealers received any frames or parts and that they have gotten the same broken story! I work at Mojo Wheels and we have not seen this with a manufacturer in some time. Those companies usually don't last very long. It has been 8 months with out a bike. For a $3000 frame I can think of a lot of other companies you should spend your hard earned cash on.

Strengths: Massively adjustable and with the right choice in components I got mine down to 36lbs wthout breaking the bank.
Comes with loads of different colour decals so you can match it to your forks or componentry.Weaknesses: The pivot is quite wide (BB is 83mm)
Bottom Line: This bike is so amazing, I bought the frame second hand 3 months old for £1500 (hence the 5 flaming chillis).
It's so adjustable your mind will blow, I have this set on the 'Steepest' settings at the moment as only riding in the UK and even then it's the slackest bike I've ridden, I did drop it to the slack position initially and it rails berms faster than my skill level would let me react.
If you are looking for a WC DH bike that looks amazing, handles amazing and isn't following the other sheep then buy this, you won't be dissapointed.
Just FYI I'm 5' 11" and the medium size is spot on.

Strengths: The suspension design and frame adjustability. It can be set up for about any type of riding. And the suspenson is simple to get dialed for DH stuff and FR stuff.Weaknesses: Hard to find, but nothing bike related.Bottom Line: I love this bike. Everyone I've rode with loves this bike. The DELTA system is very smooth and all but eliminates pedal-bob. It's been a very confidence inspiring bike for both DH and FR. And it's characteristics make the bike feel better the faster you go and it seems to want to go faster when it rolls over rough stuff. It's also very predictable especially on rough, wet, and loose trails.

Strengths: what impressed me most was that the corners on rail,,,has great stability,,, would meant to be mounted with little weight... my bike that weighs 40 pounds ... the low center of gravity helps get the bike fast axis, and adjustable geometry helps a lot in different tracks and there's no sign of brake jack, I'm a fan of suspension more progressive and I was very happy with the way the system works, crazy bikeWeaknesses: lack a rear fender for the whole clay that deposited in the shock and i had a bolt from DELTA system broken, but in a week the evil sent me a whole set screwBottom Line: I recommend to anyone who wants a fast bike on the track, with stability and a great suspension system, no brake jack and a race geometry, I used the bike in whistler and I loved how she ride in the dirt and online merchant, very good bike the freeride too, if you have money does not think twice
