having a bad day, wish i was out on a trail, instead doing paperwork at work with youtube on in the background, paused the video at 30 seconds in, stopped to comment, this intro just made my day!!! i appreciate the content that i enjoy for free. Thanks again.
In a future a video I am going to start it by casually zipping it up and then starting the video like normal just to freak out all the people that have commented this haha. The screen print went right over the zipper but it still works :)
Offering looks cool, I've been on the wreckoning for 3 years now and love it. I just ordered the new lyrik and push shock combo for it I'm crazy excited. Love your videos keep up the great work.
jeff. the type of dude we can all feel like we relate to. its awesome to see a bikeshop (and OWNER) thats not afraid to pick and choose some components over others, and also straight up say some products are not cool. WWC, you guys are doing AWESOME things with content and its super rad to see the business doing so well. im sure it hasnt been easy, especially in CA.
Thank you so much for the kind words Jeremy! We are working hard over here no doubt so it always feels good to hear people are enjoying our videos and how we are running our business. Cheers!
So funny seeing Troydon. Grew up with him here in South Africa. Makes killer house tracks too lol. Nice to see him doing well. Just got my offering V2 . Stoked!
I ride a Following V1 and absolutely love it. As discussed in the video, Evils have a unique feel; so fun and capable. I'd love to demo an Offering, but feel it may be too much bike for my local trails. Keep up the good work gents; love your content!
Saturday: I check out WWCyclery's Evil bike frames. Sunday: WWCyclery releases a video featuring Evil bike frames. Thank you for spying on me! This is a cool vid... especially Dolly
Thanks for that impression, guyz! I‘ve tested the following and the wreckoning on a few laps in a bikepark and fell in love with the bigger travel bike. It is unlike everything I‘ve tested so far and mixes pop and sensitivity in a unique way. I will try the offering before I decide on a Ibis Ripmo and the Evil. The testing will have to include some climbs too next time ;-)
You're doing a good job with all this content you guys are putting out. thanks! (Now it's time to drop the "what's up guys"...that every single person on UA-cam uses as an "opener." Just start with your intro, you don't need a segway into the start of your video. )
I have a Wreckr' with a Push. I built it and took is to Pisgah at the end of last season. On the fire roads, it climbs just fine, even with the long travel (161/170) and the shock open. The thing that wasn't mentioned in this video is their ability to climb tech single track. There was 4 of us on the Pisgah trip, 2 on Evils (1 Wreckoning 29r, 1 Calling 27.5). On the techy climb going up Laurel Mountain, both of us on the Evils pulled so far ahead of the other two guys we ended up getting separated. And on the descents, forget about it, these things are just unreal. Yes, they are expensive to build, but if you've got the scratch, they are well worth the $$.
i tried a Calling last year and fell inlove with it! that poppy fun feel is what i like the most, i'm still trying to choose between Calling, offering and insurgent, but i think i'll have to demo them all to figure it out!
Very nice interesting , I have a Calling with a 150mm pike and still don t consider changing it for any bike . The offering is probably more « capable » but I doubt it s as playful as the Calling. I guess it depends what you re after. Cool video as usual 🤘
I have the Evil following and I love it. It’s hard to explain but it’s just different. It’s fine in all the right places and when it comes to certain things that you’re more inclined to do with just a few minor adjustments whether it’s in your suspension or air pressure etc. As all bikes Do y’all have something unique end it all comes down to location how you feel in general and the most important thing having fun making the best of the tool that you have if you don’t get the opportunity to master one thing then you will never mastered anything
Your videos are the shit! Evil bikes are in that dream category for me seems every week I want a different one lol it’s usually the following or now maybe the offering then I watch skills with Phil and it’s the calling lol
WWC. Way to many temptations,, I’m not watching your videos anymore. All kidding aside, great product presentation and a entertaining review of the Evil Offering
If I could buy any bike I mean any bike in the world it would be this bike I would love to ride any evil but this one would be my choice (maybe one day)
thinking about parting with my Following MB frame and replacing it with the Offering. biggest gripe is the seat tube angle on the MB. coming from a Spesh Enduro (76ish degree sta) the MB is really hard to climb steeper sections with. front wheel wanders, and loves to lift off the ground. i dont wanna sacrifice the 140mm up front, to get the steeper STA by going to a 120mm fork, and a 130 wouldnt be worth it @ barely a half degree.
542eastWA diving into the right hander like that looks doable, but how pinned are you for the following left?? I would for sure blow out the berm and break myself.
I am sure its a great bike but sadly its out of my pay grade but mostly I need to send my kids to college. Three grand is my all in bike amount. Thinking Norco Sight aluminum. Thanks
@@dalelakusta8143 My kids are getting the same deal my parents gave me, they agreed to pay unless I bombed out which I did, payed the rest on my own. The difference is my kids are straight A students and high end athletes. Will see how it goes, money has been saved. Now time will tell. I am fine on an aluminum bike.
I normally really dislike Horst derived linkages, but I demo'd a Norco Sight last year. Couldn't believe how well it climbed, and the Super Deluxe trunnion mount shock was quite plush on the descent. That's arguably one of the better bikes for the money right now.
Even it's a 4 years old video is kinda disappointing for me. :) I was eyeing this bike as a replacement for my Yeti SB6. Everything in Offering seems to be ok for me except one main priority: climbing. And seems like Yeti SB130 or SB140 is a better option compared to Offering. But the look of Offering and delta link.... I can't have both bikes... How noticeable is the difference between SB130 and Offering? Is it noticeable to make the choice with SB130 or barely noticeable?
I'm very curious about The Offering. I currently ride an Evil Following V1 and being a Clydesdale, I'm struggling to find that sweet spot of getting my shock feeling plush without the rear tire rubbing the back of the seat tube (Minnion DHR 2.4). Is the clearance a bit more with The Offering?
It does have a little better clearance but still has a max tire size of 2.4 inches. It may work a little better for you but I recommend demoing one before buying!
With where I am and now snow on the ground I’m unable to demo an evil bike, but for those that do own the Offering or other Evil models, would you have gotten something else? I’m looking between this, the Pivot switchblade and Ibis Ripmo. An Offereing popped up on for a great deal and I’m seriously considering picking this up since it’s a mid-travel 29er.
I'm running the Offering with a Dpx2 in the back. It is fantasic climber with that shock, my only grief with the bike is the poor paint job. Feels like a ton of overspray in places and for high end bike, not acceptable in my opinion.
I ride a 130mm 27.5 Trail Bike, a Whyte T130RS, so i have been looking at The Evil Calling. But no Way to demo the thing here in Denmark. We have no mountains, and i want a Bike that climbs Well, and the opinions on that are mixed. I want to stay with the same wheel size and travel range, so also looking at Santa Cruz 5010, Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt. Any input on the climbing for the Calling?
Piotr Sulej I run a 2016 model, so it has Rockshox Monarch RT3 Debonair, and a Pike up front. Yes, it is a very good Bike, i plan to get a new one in late 2020, some Of the upgrade i want, steeper seat angle, room for a 150mm dropper, Carbon . But a lot Can happen in the next 1.5 years 😜
Filipe Nunes the calling is more efficient but very twitchy while the insurgent climbs rough stuff better and has more stability. Both were great but I think an insurgent with a 150 mm fork could be the best of both worlds.
I like mine as well, but the bike is heavy and it rides heavy. Especially with the Push shock...that just adds to the weight of the bike and does make it feel more planted...but also more sluggish. It’s a rad bike but it needs a strong rider or a lot of gravity 😈
I would be curious about this vs. the Ibis Ripmo. I don't have any experience with the Offering and the Ripmo but I do have experience with The Following and the Ripley LS both set up with a 140mm fork, and I have to say that the Ripley LS runs circles around the Evil up and down. In the exact same build, a Following will be 2lb heavier since the frame alone is over 7lb, but on top of that how the the DW-Link rides vs the DELTA. The only drawback that I have found with the Ibis bikes is the sizing...they do run small which to me is the biggest bummer for their bikes.
Leo Molloy I have a Calling with a 150mm fork... it s sick. I wouldn’t change it for any bike in the world. They re expensive, but it S worth waiting, saving a bit more and get one. Check for a deal for a used one, but don t buy anything before trying one, it ll blow your mind 🤘
I agree. I'm sure it is a nice frame/bike, but that is crazy expensive. My wife didn't want me to spend $3K on a full bike, so she would laugh at a $7K price tag. Best I could do was $2300 on a sale bike.
Well, just because the industry’s gone completely insane, consumers don’t necessarily have to... and that would evidently drive the prices to a more realistic level. There’s no $3000 worth technology, material or craftmanship in carbon frames. Not even remotely close.
Yeah carbon bikes are expensive as hell. Over the past 10 years the manufactures have just made more and more expensive stuff each year and people keep buying and the cycle never ends. But there are tons of other good options in different price ranges so everyone can be happy :) We just talk about the high end stuff often because we are among those brainless people who spend way too much money on bikes and are addicted to them and always want to ride the best stuff out there. If your bike costs 2.5x more than your monthly salary, you know you're in deep in the bike industry haha.
What do you think of The Offering? Would you ride one or pick a different bike? Let us know!
..really sweet bike,but i'm getting into E-bikes now,so that's where my moneys going..
I ride a pivot trail 429, but I'll take one of these too. Super sick bike.
build is in progress right now cant wait to hit the trails with this thing
Dream... c♡♡,)
Do you have a demo in Pa

I have one simple request for this bike Jeff.. and that is to have sharks with frickin lazer beams attatched to their heads
HHahahahahaha
Sounds like a good choice for a one bike quiver...

You mean like you and English? I feel dumber after reading your comment.
They're evil expensive!
A very cool bike. Though, some might not care for the external cable routing. Just an aesthetics thing. Thanks for another great review.
If Troydon likes it, then it must be amazing. That guy rips!
That's what we said!

You could put the tube in the mini triangle by the seat tube

Evil suspension is like a fancy Daimondback knuckle. DW link rocks! Simplier geometry. But they're cool looking.
First! This channel is the best cause you show everthing you need to know!
Jeff please teach me your ways of how to hit that turn on Toad's at 6:42
542eastWA diving into the right hander like that looks doable, but how pinned are you for the following left?? I would for sure blow out the berm and break myself.
Wait what the? it goes round corners and it has a 51 offset fork that's impossible these days isn't it?
Best bike i have own!!! It climb better than my hightower lt in my opinion .
thank you for the dr.evil reference! Your [farger] must be proud to have a son like you!
Maybe it would have pedaled better with an air shock... like the super deluxe they specd with it
Have yet to try it but know this thing will tip on the dh
This thing shreds!
When I decide to ride non commencal alloy this will be what I get. But idk when I’ll leave the alloy behind
Can you ride it wirh 27.5 wheels?
I am sure its a great bike but sadly its out of my pay grade but mostly I need to send my kids to college. Three grand is my all in bike amount. Thinking Norco Sight aluminum. Thanks

If I had the coin I’d get the reckoning 🤘🏿
Love the info here. Which one of the Evil bikes would be a trail vs enduro? Thanks
Offering is entering enduro territory but Wrecking is definitely a enduro bike and the insurgent definitely is
I'm running the Offering with a Dpx2 in the back. It is fantasic climber with that shock, my only grief with the bike is the poor paint job. Feels like a ton of overspray in places and for high end bike, not acceptable in my opinion.
I want one!!
Weird hearing the saffa accent 🤣. I’m a saffa in Australia... wonder if I sound like that 🤔
The delta system is the only justifiably and purposefully complicated shock system
If I was going to get a evil bike frame I would get the wreckoning

MTB Shredder are u suggesting they do not climb well?
upapassoti no, they do but not as fast as a 21 pound XC carbon hardtail
upapassoti but if I was doing trail or when I’m in college I might consider getting a trail bike
I want a calling so bad can you review one Jeff

@@asselinpower thanks so much for the confidence. Just wondering how important do you think it would be to rake out the extra $900 for a push 11.6?
Leo Molloy I couldn’t say, I ve never tried the push, but The Rockshox is awesome on it .
The thing is a pound for me makes a much bigger difference because I weigh 110 where everything makes a big change
When I was 110 lbs I defiantly could not afford this bike
Dale Lakusta ya I got no chance in ever getting this but I have a job and have a bike so I’m set
@@maddoxmcpherson3731 and then all is good! expensive bikes don't create larger smiles. Well sometimes they do ;p
How much of the weak pedaling performance came from the fact it was built up with the coil shock vs the stock air shock?
I have to OFFER one of my kidneys to own this bike
How do you feel about the evil insurgent?
We have an employee here that rides one and he loves it. It's awesome for park days but still pedals pretty well!
Worldwide Cyclery ok thanks so much!

Dolly Llama dude y'all are ridiculous 😂😂😂😂
I was cracking up!
Are the bearings in these bikes updated from the og following that I had?

Why wwc everytime reviews trail bikes 🤔
memes and cool bikes, can it get any better???? spoiler alert: no
Single pivot with a rising rate linkage? Looks cool, but it's cheap technology so why the expense?
Good but Very overpriced. Can get an enduro bike frame with more travel for a much better price(and carbon)
Anyone have a good used BIKE similar to this that they are willing to sell? I live in Woodland Hills California
check Pinkbike buy/sell
No way ... /)
Only one problem the regular Joe will never be able to afford one 😭😭😭
All bikes are the same. People are too worried about small details.
Interesting thought...
Over priced and short legs on the suspension department.
