First Look: 2015 Evil Bikes 'The Following' 29er 19

The first 29er from Evil Bikes has arrived. Known as The Following, it has 120mm travel with short chainstays and a do-it-all attitude. Paired with a 120-130mm travel fork and a relatively slack head angle, the bike is likely to be more capable than some of the numbers might have you believe.

Like we said in our "What's Out and What's In for 2015" feature, short travel, slacked out 29ers will become increasingly popular throughout 2015. It only takes one ride to see why. We expect The Following to help lead the charge.
