Graham Agassiz and Tom van Steenbergen stopped off in Reno, NV, for a few days to do some riding at Cam Zink’s property, AKA: the Campound, or as Tom called it, the Big Air Headquarters. When you live in the Great White North, a little saddle time can be a life-saver before heading to South Africa to hit 90-foot jumps at DarkFEST. Zink has those as well, but an airbag and a few other amenities make the stop invaluable.
Graham Agassiz and His New Evil Bike
The fellas were kind enough to let us geek out on their bikes for a bit. As it turns out, Agassiz is on something rather special and forthcoming from the Washington-based brand. Details are sparse, but here is what Agassiz could share with us: The new Evil features a steeper seat tube angle and internal cable routing, along with some new lines, which are all visually apparent.
Agassiz has the bike outfitted with 27.5-inch wheels but uses a 29-inch RockShox Boxxer Ultimate to keep the bottom bracket height in check. This was the same configuration he ran for his Rampage bike. The new Evil is meant for the enduro/park/gravity crowd and is obviously rated for a dual-crown fork. Rear wheel travel is a mystery as are any actual lengths or angles at this time.
