Wanna own one of the most bad ass downhill frames on the market? Silverfish, the UK’s distributor for Evil Bikes, have just taken delivery of exactly that; the 2013 Evil Undead in raw carbon. Retailing at £2500, the Undead is packed with features like adjustable geometry and head tube angle, integrated headset, fork bumpers, cable guide plus an integrated and removable carbon fibre rear fender, downtube protector, shuttle guard and chainstay protector. To say this beast is packed with radness, is putting it bluntly, but more so than that, it just looks awesome! So, do you want to know more? We’ll be running the Undead as one of our long term test bikes through 2013, so stay tuned for more on the Evil Undead very soon…

Here’s what UK distributor Silverfish have to say on this awesome piece of gravity hardware – “It’s fair to say that Evil Bikes have been on quite a journey during the companies lifetime with as many highs as there have been lows but through blood and sweat they have kept the beast alive.  2013 sees the release of the new carbon downhill bike the Undead, which has jumped the pond and is available in the UK right now from Silverfish UK.  A high pressure moulded carbon fibre constructed main frame wraps Evil’s Delta-Link suspension system to give the Undead 203mm of rear travel and a low race ready weight.

Evil are a brand forged through passion by a family of designers and engineers which share a common love of mountain biking and it’s through their passion Evil’s heart beat remains strong.  Their latest creation the Undead is a downhill bike unlike the world has ever seen. Constructed from carbon fibre the Undead’s frame looks like it has been crafted by Beelzebub himself and with its raw matt black carbon finish and stealth looking angles it will have you selling your soul to ride one. Based on design legend Dave Weagle’s Delta Suspension System the Undead shares a lot of the geometry and ride attributes which made the Revolt so popular, but tips the scales at 9.5lbs with a Fox RC4 with steel spring or 8.77lbs with the Vivid Air R2C (without the supplied and removable protection parts).

They say that the Devil is in the detail and the Undead is no exception. Flip Chip geometry gives you the ability to tune your BB height while upfront the bike features an adjustable head angle giving you the ability to go from a steep set-up to a slack one without the need for additional headset cups. Out of the box dampening duties for the 203mm of travel are handled by a Fox RC4 Kashima rear shock which is protected by a removable carbon mud guard and a replaceable ISCG mounts is the perfect partner for your e*thirteen chain guide.”
