THIS OFFERING SACRIFICES NOTHING
The Dark Lord of Singletrack isn’t a moniker we plastered on just any random bike. The Offering LS earned it. Like a versatile pocketknife, this 141mm 29” trail platform has proven itself more capable than any jumble of geo numbers can describe. Its capabilities bridge conventional genres to bang on a broader drum. Paired with a 150mm fork, the Offering is set to cover all trail types over the whole damn mountain.
CLIMB. DESCEND. SMILE. REPEAT.
A proper pocketknife covers all the slicing tasks you imagine, and the unexpected ones in between. Our Offering platform aims to do the same. The bike is stiff and responsive, pairing the smooth pedaling platform of our Following with some added padding so you can release the brakes and let gravity take over.
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.
The tail of this 141mm bike will ramp up fast for a lively position on the “spry-ride to bulldozer” continuum. You can certainly line up at a local enduro with the Offering, and we shaped it to leap ruts and boost over roots beneath creative riders who prefer the bonus line to the shortest one.
All three Offering LS builds come with top-shelf RockShox suspension that’s tuned to provide comfort and support right where you want it. Bolt on our carbon Loopholes or the Industry Nine wheelset, the gold-standard Bike Yoke dropper, a powerful set of 4-piston brakes, and this ride is dressed for any party you drop in to.
