DetailEpocalyptic lightning RIDES
The electrified Epocalypse is your tractor beam to the summit. This long travel overlander is prepped for the end of days. placing direct current between your heels to turn the steepest ascents into provocative dares.EVIL THUNDER. SHIMANO LIGHTNING
Between the juiced watts and the pedaling prowess of our DELTA System. few ascents will tilt too steep for the Epocalypse. Electrified bikes are a blast whether gravity's helping or hindering. and the engineers at Evil worked closely with Shimano to achieve an ideal power balance. Good luck locating a slope that the Epocalypse can't scale. After two years of rigorous testing and perfecting we’ve created the right machine for any rider's version of fun.
A pair of sturdy carbon triangles surrounds the EP8 powerhouse. protected from front tire projectiles by a custom skid plate beneath the motor and a shuttle shield under the downtube. As ever. chain slap is silenced by a hefty sound mound strip on the chain stay. and there's a second slab of 'shut-up' inside the seat stay.
Our refined vascular system guides housing and hoses discretely through the frame. and some massive main-pivot bearings are ready to carry the powerful Epocalypse load all season long. A SRAM UDH derailleur hanger dangles from our SuperBoost+ rear end. keeping those precious drivetrain bits shifty. and hangers are available at most shops if you manage to clip a passing rock. In fact. each of the bike's electric and analog components can be had at your local two-wheel Evil dealer. keeping the ride rolling and the maintenance time minimal. As an added bonus. Evil will offer lifetime bearing warranty for your fresh electric frame. Original owners can register their bikes on the Evil website. See our warranty site for more details to keep those pivots silky smooth.
85NM OF MUSCLE
At the heart of the Epocalypse. a Shimano EP8 motor pumps up to 85Nm of torque into the pedals. This latest power source from Shimano is lighter. faster. smaller. smoother. and more efficient than the previous E8000.
630WH JUICEBOX
630Wh of integrated battery power nails the intersection where maximum riding range and minimum weight collide. How those watts are burned or conserved is entirely up to you.
PICK YOUR POISON
An Evil-tuned EP8 motor offers two power profiles to rip with. For moto-minded go getters. Profile 1 cranks out maximum Epocalyptic watts. Riders with a little range anxiety will dig Profile 2. designed around more conservative power output so you can go the distance without the fear of unplanned camping.
10 SECOND PIT STOPS
Our fully integrated battery design keeps the electric bits protected inside the downtube. while quick release access makes for ten second battery swaps through a covert slot in the downtube door. Faster pit stops means more laps.

EVIL ENERGY BAR
Evil has introduced a custom 35mm carbon bar with internal wire routing to clean up the cockpit and keep you focused on the fun stuff. The discreet Energy Bar is shaped with a 35mm rise. 5° upsweep. 8° backsweep and accommodates a 760-810mm width range.
WHEELIE SHORT CHAINSTAYS
The newly developed split-yoke design lets us maintain short 442mm chainstays. allowing riders to maneuver through impossibly technical climbs and easily pull up for manuals and trail hits. Pairing this with a wider main pivot and a unified one-piece rear triangle means increased stiffness and strength so you can flex on your riding partners instead of your bike.
SUPERBOOST+ STIFFNESS
A wide 157mm dropout spacing allows us to get a broader. stiffer spoke pattern. and a wider swingarm so the added weight near the bottom bracket doesn’t turn the rear end into a pool noodle. This rear end design was driven to support tire clearance around a 29 x 2.6” tread. allowing you all the rubber you need to keep the wheels on the ground without sacrificing that playful rear end feel.
FLIP CHIPS
In the rare case you find yourself a little too over the bars. we’ve added our flip chip capability that Evil fans know and love. Flipping the chips lowers your bottom bracket and slackens the front end for a more aggressive stance without changing that signature DELTA leverage curve.
