Evasion Bike Check

[@BennyNeptune]

Really diggin these bike checks! As someone relatively new to the all-terrain, small-production bike scene, this is really good info!

[@crustbikes]

Thank you.

[@RyanStanis]

We built up a super slick 26x2.8 evasion earlier this year at Keystone Bikes! Carbon rims, dynamo, AXS shifting with cable disc brakes. The thing is awesome.

[@crustbikes]

Damn! How did I miss that one?

[@bike.breath]

That Iron Maiden cover off the beginning got me into a nice riding mood! The Evasion only makes the urge stronger, beautiful!

[@heroinrock]

Matt makes the best bike checks

[@felixjackson2670]

Love it. Videos such as this a great antidote to the Corporate,Profit Over People,Global Bike Market….Road bikes all looking very,very similar..everything in house and ugly..no soul! Now ‘gravel bikes’ gone same way. Thank goodness for small,hand built,bike related businesses.

[@crustbikes]

Just trying to keep it fun thank you!!

[@coletrudo]

The sound of the cicadas makes me miss summer here in the States. Awesome build

[@glennpettersson9002]

26X3, that's outrageous. Access all areas 👍

[@crustbikes]

100%

[@chuckrodgers4780]

Really enjoying your bike checks, You make so many fun bikes it would be fun to have one of each! I have been planning a new bike for a while. back and forth between the Evasion and Bombora, The Evasion just speaks to me, it seems like the perfect all around do anything bike, plus at 200 lbs the extra couple lbs of frame weight really is not even issue. Cheers

[@crustbikes]

Yeah I would go the Evasion for sure!

[@chuckrodgers4780]

@@crustbikes thanks for the advice!

[@64Spokes]

The 26+ setup is so rad!

[@crustbikes]

Yep, I thinks so also

[@bumsonarock]

A fixed rack like that for my evasion would be so nice... ever see it going to production?

[@andrewhamilton3486]

Thanks for addressing my thoughts. Wanting to run a 2.6 or 2.8. Got a couple of ritcheys but want something that can go anywhere. This or the bombora??? This evasion seems to be the answer 🤔 😊😊 Im 168cm. Im thinking medium? Thanks

[@crustbikes]

I would ride a medium if I was your height.

[@meeatpapaya]

The beginning of this video is giving me flashbacks of getting my Evasion stuck in a washed out riverbed this fall 😂

[@crustbikes]

with this bike you always seem to end up down some pretty bad roads. But bad roads lead to good places a lot of the time.

[@bonbones4890]

What’s the surly effect?

[@biosfearmag]

Damn, that downhill section looked pretty gnar.

[@crustbikes]

its got some oh shit sections haha

[@oasi92]

the prototype rack is cool

[@ncbassmix]

Major thumbs up for using that Wasted Years cover music. 👍🏻

[@T_track]

I want this bike so bad for my 3 dirt rider. I do want to do the 26+ but with shwallbe tires(not sure if i spelled it right)

[@crustbikes]

Did not know Schwallbe made one, will have to check it out.

[@T_track]

@crustbikes it's either a 26+ or was 650b+ but I would want to do one with semi slick

[@chandlerhoopes]

Lol whats the surly effect?

[@haemstah]

Rad build with those fat 26s. Now I know what to do with my spare Carbon-Ti set🤔😊

[@111crackerjack]

Making me very jealous over here. Do you ever have issues with a large handlebar bag pressing on the cables too much and causing shifting/braking issues?

[@crustbikes]

Never on disc brake bikes, never on shifting, has happened on a Canti brake bike of mine before.

[@TK-OK]

@ 4:52 “I have a small stock pile” Could an old dude buy a set ?

I wish there is an XS or even XXS lightning bolt or romanceur!

[@crustbikes]

We did make tiny romancers with 24" wheels in the past

[@Plast_and_Cars]

Дуже гарний велосипед!

Дякую

[@EdwardUbiera]

I want a crust so bad but I can’t afford it 😂

[@crustbikes]

keep and eye on the classifieds section on the Crust site. Sometimes real deals pop up. crustbikes.com/a/shopicial/classifieds

[@grumpycyclist3319]

Looks like Yowee country...

[@NickS-d1s]

How "small" are you exactly? Im 5'7" and wondering if the 54 is the my size

[@crustbikes]

I am around 5,4" but like bigger fitting bikes.

[@GM-jd2qi]

Would love to buy this or the scapegoat , but import costs to the UK is the killer 😭

[@crustbikes]

The woods bike shop has them over there

[@Donnadianee]

Sold my Evasion, then got an Atlantis, sold that pretty quick now I realize I need an Evsion again or a wombat

[@crustbikes]

Love all 3 bikes you just mentioned.

[@junholee1608]

Is the Fab chest a small size?

[@crustbikes]

Yep

[@RolvLarsen-n3y]

How tall are you Matt? Currently trying to decide between evasion size small or medium.

[@crustbikes]

around 163cm or 5,4"

[@ornametrics]

30 seconds in and must be in Australia.

[@stevekelly6544]

Can the Evasion run rim brakes?

[@crustbikes]

No.

[@stevekelly6544]

[@raysmith9324]

Prototype rack!? For Bombora yes please.

[@crustbikes]

Some are coming.

[@te3895]

luv these vids matt

[@crustbikes]

Thank you.

[@AdminLogistics.]

Lol, Surly "effect". That thing is fucking insane!

[@KriegerKrieg]

I'm ignorant of what the surly effect is.

[@RatherBeShredding]

Every time I take my evasion on a walk I feel maybe I should consider weightlifting 😅

[@jimmymiller592]

Amazing product review 😂❤

[@crustbikes]

haha, I have the memory of a gold fish.

[@Davidesrajohn]

Why did I (an ignorant European) only find out about Crust right after putting all my money in a different frame T_T

[@bennyjmarston]

Loving the down under content. Farnsie lo less!

[@crustbikes]

Gotta give the legend some love.

[@MonoLake02]

Dude, I could have ridden that hill ! 😂

[@crustbikes]

LOL

[@marcguerino5645]

Welp this made me want to call out sick from work and ride my bike. Been checking out your frames for a while really cool stuff!

[@crustbikes]

Haha. Thanks.

[@tony3181]

Where bouts are ya? Just rode an Evasion in the 2023 Hunt and can confirm they are more than up to the task!

[@crustbikes]

Hell yeah. I was trying to come thing year, but was not fit enough. Next year hopefully. Up in Macksville

[@tony3181]

@@crustbikes Oh sweet! I’ve done a bit of riding up around Dorrigo. Makes for perfect Hunt training👌🏼

[@RatherBeShredding]

& do size up brothers I regret not doing so everyday

[@crustbikes]

No one ever believes me. LOL

[@RatherBeShredding]

@@crustbikes 😅😅😅 yeah garret told me when I called on the phone coming from a surly I didn’t want another bike that was too big for me. In the end I think I may have just cut my steer tube too short. I often think about buying the carbon fork in order to fix it cause I don’t see the original steel fork for sale correct?

[@robson9661]

superrrr
