[First Look] Evil Insurgent

[ad3]We recently finished piecing together our highly anticipated Evil Bikes Insurgent. Featuring perhaps the most aggressive geometry in the long travel trail/enduro category and some striking features, it definitely demands and deserves attention. Why were we in such a hurry to throw a leg over this bike? Many reasons, but perhaps the geometry is the biggest factor. Numbers like 16.93″ chainstays, a 25.2″ top tube, a 13.2″ BB height and a sub 65º head angle are daunting for the average rider but warmly welcomed by the aggressive crowd. Evil holds nothing back and makes their intentions crystal clear with this bike. Anyhow, enough drivel, let’s get to the bike porn.
