I picked up my new Following v3 today. I'm looking forward to see how the new geometry rides. Build came out reasonably light - 27.9 lbs without pedals.

That bike looks stunning!
How it would ride? Amazing

That's a a great looking build and the weight ain't bad either.

It is 26.5 lbs. I've ridden it around 7 times now

Another sick V3 and even lighter with the DVO up front, impressive. What size are you guys riding?

 

[yangpei]

My bike is a medium.

I love DVO forks. I have them on several other bikes. But I couldn't find a 130mm Sapphire with 51mm offset like Evil recommends, so I went with Fox.

I'm not generally a fan of orange, but I have to say on that bike, it really works!

Mine is a L I'm 5'11 with short legs long torso/arms. The wheels/tires saved a bunch of weight and the DVO sapphire is the same weight as a Pike. As mentioned, they don't come in 44mm offset but I've found I prefer the 44 to the 51 in every application over the past few years so that's what I run on all my bikes, recommended or not

Yes but I get discounts on a number of parts. It came out to about $5700 for me
