MORE POP, LESS FILLING
It’s time for everyone’s favorite 120mm trail-weapon 29er to get the Lightly Salted treatment. This is the Following you know and love, with a few licks of fresh paint and some future-proofing updates. Downcountry, slackcountry, allcountry: wherever you go and whatever you call it the Following LS will continually laugh at whatever you throw at it.
FOLLOW NO ONE.
This bike kicked off the shred-trail 29er movement, and we haven’t hit the mute button on loud, fast, and fun times. We need to let the volume roar and this bike needs to claw after every extra-credit popportunity. Oh, and it drifts uphill too.
Riding is far better than wrenching, and our engineers aim to reduce your garage time. We’ve heard the battle cries over trunnion shock spacers and responded by capturing them in the linkage, so you no longer have to fiddle and fumble when installing shocks. To polish this shiny knife, Evil will offer lifetime bearing warranty for Offering LS frames. Original owners can register their bikes on the Evil website. See our warranty site for more details to keep those pivots silky smooth.
While updating the Following LS, we’ve maintained what makes it so special: lightning handling, shameless pop, and that uncanny ability to be there before you’ve decided to go there. We ratcheted that die-hard XC determination with an over-the-pedals 76° seat tube angle. It’ll climb, and climb, and climb. Then, just like the Following we love, it’s first to the beer cooler at the bottom. Always.
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
UDH COMPATIBLE
Slap it sideways against a stump? All Lightly Salted models feature UDH hangers, easily replaced at your local shop.
WHEELIE SHORT CHAINSTAYS
Make Bikes Shred Again. Short 430mm chainstays mean wheelies for days and manuals for months.
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY
Flip yo' Chips! Choose LOW mode for everyday trail-slaying geometry, or flip to XLOW mode for a gravity-fed, park eating ride.
INTEGRATED SAG METER
Dial in sag on your shred happy sled with this quick meter that hits right at the 30% mark.
CALM AND COLLECTED
A rubber sound canceling chainstay protector and an integrated chain guide keep the drivetrain silent and deadly.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Ditch those archaic zip ties. Fully guided internal routing for clean looks, easy installation and worry-free maintenance.
