Evil has been known for shaking the market by releasing bikes that truly challenge the competition and the introduction of The Offering was no different. Offering (no pun intended) 140mm of rear wheel travel while rolling on 29" wagon wheels while also offering the option to run a 140mm, 150mm, or even 160mm fork puts The Offering at the top of its class when looking at the current selection of "mid-travel" All mountain bikes. With a slightly refined geometry to better suit recent trends, The Offering may very well be the do it all bike you have been looking for. We go over all of this in a complete overview of The Offering after months of testing and even compare it directly to Evil's The Following and The Wreckoning. So whether you are a DH champion or a weekend warrior, your riding could benefit from The Offering. Click play and find out if The Offering is the bike for you in this complete review!

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 ;-)

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

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 $$.

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.

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?

@WorldwideCyclery 5 жыл бұрын

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!

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?

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 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.

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.

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.
