I think you're actually a great reviewer because you clearly state your preferences and biases and let the viewer understand your perspective. I'm tired of reading/watching reviewers that claim every bike is "poppy and playful, but still grounded and planted, while climbing surprisingly well before descending really confidently."

Thanks Jogi! If I just "claim" that I'm a terrible reviewer it somehow erases a lot of the negative comments suggesting that I'm not being honest or that the vid isn't relevant- it also reminds the bike industry that I'm not trying to be the end-all, be-all bike reviewer guy. Instead, providing more entertainment value than anything else means a lot more creative freedom!

When showing off goes wrong!!🙈 Jeff you're not a terrible bike reviewer... Everyone who reviews bikes are just giving their opinion. There are way too many factors like you said. All reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. It seems to me people just want someone to confirm their preconceived notions of a bike.

I disagree - you are an excellent bike reviewer. I don’t buy new bikes often but this year it was time for something new, so I did a ton of reading reviews and found it striking how different sources would use the same language for describing certain bike models. Evil bike reviews particularly suffer from this, to a point where I began to wonder if some reviewers had even tested the bike and I would say this is perhaps the most honest review of the Evil Offering I've come across. What I enjoy about your review style is your ability to cut through the marketing babble and deliver some honest thoughts. Even as far as showing a crash, which some might think would put the bike in a bad light - but of course it doesn’t because as you say ‘rider input matters more than bike design’. Thanks so much mate, its always a beauty watching you ride.

I briefly had an HD4, Offering and Following MB at the same time. I only own one of those bikes now and it's the Offering. I concur with Jeff, the rear suspension has a unique magic carpet feel to it. The front end keeps it playful. I also run a 160 fork. Not sure it was mentioned in the vid whether the flip chip was in the low or x-low mode? Super easy to flip it, takes 5 minutes. Low for trail, x-low for steep/gnarly.

Hey, that's my bike! (and it isn't green or black. Its charcoal gray 😉) Great review! I went the opposite way with the rebound. This is my 3rd Evil and I've always run the rear pretty fast. With the V2, my rear tire was skipping a lot, bouncing in rocky corners (AZ) and easily getting knocked off line. Speeding up the rebound seemed to make it worse, so I settled on 2 clicks from slow. Seems to have solved my problem without affecting the playfulness. I'm running the Super Deluxe with the MegNeg can, so it isn't apples to apples, and I've recently lost weight, so that might play a factor in why my adjustments needed to change 🤷‍♂️

Thanks man! I dunno, with Jenson not being able to sell SC online we haven't tried for any SC bikes. Maybe in Q3 I'll see if I can get a Megatower or Hightower in just to play with though! Now that just about every single bike in the Jenson catalog is sold out, we gotta chase clicks rather than in-stock product.

Thanks Dan! I retired from racing in 2016, gotta keep that promise to myself! My sprint speed is likely faster than it was while racing, but overall I'm slower since I've bulked up for making videos. 1-2 times a week we'll film, and each filming session needs to get around 50 shots- that's 50 intervals! Gotta do a lot of gym time to stay ready for that. Racing at a high level requires more regular riding and a more lean physique. And it requires taking risks that others aren't willing to- and I'd rather not do that anymore.

You should try a push industry rear on it and you should do just a U-line run though for a video, that would be really cool.

Yeah I'm not too keen on going coil, as I want MORE bottom out resistance, not less. I did do a u line vid a while back - jeffkendallweed.com/did-we-pull-it-off/

Meanwhile, myself along with several others have been waiting months for their V2 offering since placing orders 😭 Your notes about the x2 feeling grounded are interesting. Evils are notoriously Poppy, even the reckoning. I suspect the spec'd super deluxe is the ticket if that's what you're looking for.

You don't think I had to wait for the frame? Haha- I did indeed. And it's the first full suspension frame I've purchased since 2004, so that's saying something too. The Super Deluxe that was on my Mojo 4 felt fine. I did prefer the DPX2 still though. I'd like to get the geometry tweaked with an angleset, as the steep head angle was a lot more noticeable to me than the rear suspension. Heck, I basically made it a shorter travel bike by going heavy on sag just to fix that steep head angle.

@@JeffKendallWeed I here ya my man. One of the reasons I like Evil is they're not super progressive. 66.5- 67 works for me but I'm sold school I suppose. Having the angle set option is kick ass though for guys that wanna go slacker. Those super short chainstays are mint too. I guess I could see it being more agile than poppy in the rear. Have you tried both low and x-low and if so what is your preference? Cheers, Jeff🤘

@@ArmorOfZeus It's plenty poppy and agile and you will be very happy. Jeff was running it at 40% sag which basically neutered the rear suspension. Sorry Jeff :D
