.......OMG...this thing is EVERYTHING that people say about it..I had my first ride on it today(apart from riding to work) ...from the first pedal to the end of the day it was laughs,jumps,roots,singletrack and sooooo much FUN .
The bike is so responsive,tracks well,easily jumped & not scary on the steep stuff like some other hardtails.... I can't get over how well it performed,the balance is perfect with the Breakout fork,which is nice & stiff with endless travel for hard trailriding....thanks to all the guys who answered my PM's about info on this bike I'm the happiest I've been in a long time
Here's the specs
Evil Imperial frame longest chainstay
Sherman Breakout fork
Cane creek Double X
FSA freeride stem 60mm
Answer protaper bar
Hayes 8'' rotors
Thomson seatpost
Profile cranks 3 rings .....40t 36t 26t
Shimano DX pedals
XT short derailler/XTR front
Hadley hubs & MAG 30 rims
