Introducing the Evil Insurgent LS Frameset: The Ultimate Bike Park Battering Ram
The Evil Insurgent LS frameset is your rolling battering ram, engineered to dominate bike parks and savage downhill trails. This is Evil's longest-travel and slackest platform, offering 168mm of rear suspension and the versatility of a mixed-wheel (MX) setup with a 170mm fork for added stability, or a full 27.5" platform with a 180mm fork for mind-melting agility. The Insurgent LS isn't just a frame; it's a shape-shifter built for the long send, ready to mop up your mistakes and crack open new possibilities on the gnarliest terrain.
The Insurgent LS combines aggressive travel with an uncanny ability to turn even the most battered bike park into a playground for ripping laps and dusty grins.
The Evil Insurgent LS frameset is the ultimate choice for riders who live for bike park laps, rough race tracks, and combining speed with unadulterated fun. Choose your weapon and let gravity be your guide.
168mm Rear Suspension: This delivers massive travel for absorbing huge hits and maintaining composure on the most aggressive trails. It comes with a RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate shock.
Versatile Wheel Configuration: Choose between an MX (29" front / 27.5" rear) setup with a 170mm fork (586mm A-C) for stability, or a full 27.5" platform with a 180mm fork (577mm A-C) for maximum agility.
Carbon Construction: It is crafted from Evil's durable carbon fibre, providing a lightweight yet robust foundation for aggressive riding.
UDH Compatible: Features the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger for easy replacement and broad compatibility with modern drivetrains.
Wheelie Short Chainstays (430mm) promote effortless wheelies, playful manuals, and a dynamic ride feel despite their long travel.
Adjustable Geometry (Flip Chips): Fine-tune your ride by switching between LOW mode for everyday trail-slaying and XLOW mode for a gravity-fed, park-eating experience.
Integrated Sag Meter: Quickly and accurately dial in your suspension for optimal performance (hits at the 30% mark).
Calm and Collected Drivetrain: This drivetrain features a rubber sound-cancelling chainstay protector and an integrated chain guide to ensure a silent and deadly ride.
Internal Cable Routing: Fully guided for clean looks, hassle-free maintenance, and cable protection.
Trunnion Shock Spacer Capture: Eliminates fiddling with trunnion shock spacers by capturing them in the linkage for easier shock installation.
Super Boost Rear Axle Spacing (157mm): Ensures a stiff rear end for holding lines and landing those "uh-oh" moments.
