Evil Offering Revamp Redefines Do-It-All Trail Riding
Evil’s updated Offering is a 29-inch do-everything trail bike with 151mm of rear travel and a revised geometry that slackens the head angle, elongates the front center, and adds a user-friendly flip-chip for small geometry tweaks. It also introduces in-frame storage and a Delta single-pivot suspension aimed at strong uphill traction and engaging handling. In a year-long test, the bike climbs superbly and delivers a playful, confident ride on a wide range of trails, but it can squat under braking and its geometry scaling across sizes plus a lightweight shock tune won’t suit every rider. The reviewer preferred the SuperDeluxe/Lyrik setup over the Vivid and framed it as a strong, fun-oriented competitor to bikes like the Santa Cruz Hightower and Stumpjumper, prioritizing a lively, berm-happy feel over outright speed.}
