Out here on the west coast I have been hearing many rumors about Gabe Fox and Steve Smith leaving Cove Bikes to the newly redesigned Evil Bikes. Has anyone else heard more about this? I think that with Vanderham to kick the freeride scene and Smith to take their new bikes to the WC, it would be a great combo. Smith is on his way to the top and the new Evil DH bike could be the one to help him get there.

Also, if Gabe Fox and Steve Smith left Cove, could this be the downfall of Cove? The end of a legacy?! I sure hope not...

Finally here is the new Evil DH bike http://www.evil-bikes.com/#/000123/store.
What are your thoughts on it? Dave Weagle designed the suspension on it using his new DELTA system. I can't even tell if it is single pivot or not from the sketch they released. Looks like it could be a killer system though with what they call "infinite geometry adjustments". (Although I don't know how adjustable it really could be...)

Thats it for now, Now Discuss!
RIDE!

oh snap! could it be?

Wow that ­frame­ looks killer. Looks like they are using the same idea of adjustable head tube sleeves as on the Commencals. The ­link­age deffinately looks different and also looks to feature the new Fox DHXRC4 shock?

looks like a sick ­frame­..i still like cove better

to me it looks like it has the double pivot points and the top part of the rear triangle is completely separate... but its hard to see with the sngly and sketch
looks super sick thogh

yea no kidding, those shockers are awesome, I hope to still see those around!

Defiantly a nice looking ­frame­. Ive always loved that flat black colour.
