The electrified Evil 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.

Inspired by Evil’s beloved Wreckoning platform, the battery boosted Epocalypse rides above two 29 wheels with 166mm of rear travel and 170mm below the bars. Posture for this genre-fluid beast closely resembles that of the Wreckoning for a proper dance party deep in the trees.

Epocalyptic lightning flows into a low-slung Shimano EP8 motor to kick out 85Nm of pedal assistance at full throttle, backed by the brands burly 630Wh battery for max laps.

Between the juiced watts and the pedalling prowess of the DELTA System, few ascents will tilt too steep for the Evil Epocalypse ebike Electrified bikes are a blast whether gravitys helping or hindering, and the engineers at Evil worked closely with Shimano to achieve an ideal power balance. After two years of rigorous testing and perfecting they have created the right machine for any riders 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 theres a second slab of shut-up inside the seat stay.

The Epocalypse boasts some of the shortest carbon stays of any 29 ebike on the market, maintaining that Evil slaphappy, side-hit slashing, dumb-gap trying DNA we all know and love. If youre searching for a lightning-powered unicorn thats deft at stabilizing descents and lofting roots whenever its asked, youve found it. Well leave you to choose between Low and X-Low geometry settings, and to select the standard or angle-adjust headset that best suits your style.

Features

85Nm OF MUSCLE:At the heart of the Epocalypse, aShimano EP8 motor pumps up to 85Nmof torque into the pedals. This latestpower source from Shimano is lighter,faster, smaller, smoother, and moreefficient than the previous E8000.

630Wh JUICEBOX:630 Wh of integrated battery powernails the intersection where maximumriding range and minimum weight collide. How those watts are burned orconserved is entirely up to you

STREAMLINEDINTERFACE:The EP8 system comes with a covertmode switch on the bar and a full colourLED display with all the data you care toknow about, keeping your eyes focusedon the trail ahead and not the bikebelow.

PICK YOUR POISON:An Evil-tuned EP8 motor offers twopower profiles to rip with. For motominded go getters, Profile 1 cranks outmaximum Epocalyptic watts. Riderswith a little range anxiety will dig Profile2, designed around more conservativepower output so you can go the distancewithout the fear of unplanned camping.

WHEELIE SHORT CHAIN STAYS:The newly developed split-yokedesign lets us maintain short 442mmchainstays, allowing riders to manoeuvrethrough impossibly technical climbsand easily pull up for manuals and trailhits. Pairing this with a wider main pivotand a unified one-piece rear triangle means increased stiffness and strength.

SUPERBOOST+STIFFNESS:A wide 157mm dropout spacing allowsus to get a broader, stiffer spokepattern, and a wider swingarm. This rear end design was drivento support tire clearance around a 29 x2.6 tread, allowing you all the rubberyou need to keep the wheels on theground without sacrificing that playfulrear end feel.

FLIP CHIP:In the rare case you find yourself alittle too over the bars, weve added ourflip chip capability that Evil fans knowand love. Flipping the chips lowersyour bottom bracket and slackens thefront end for a more aggressive stancewithout changing that signature DELTAleverage curve.

EVIL ENERGY BAR:Evil has introduced a custom 35mmcarbon bar with internal wire routingto clean up the cockpit and keep youfocused on the fun stuff.

10 SECOND PIT STOPS:Our fully integrated battery designkeeps the electric bits protected insidethe downtube, while quick releaseaccess makes for ten second batteryswaps through a covert slot in thedowntube door.Faster pit stops meansmore laps.

TUBES IN TUBES:Internal guide tubes for a cleanlook, easy setup, and even easiermaintenance. Ditch the archaic zip tieson this spaceship from the future.

SKID PLATE:A custom skid plate, reinforced witha rubber pad keeps the EP8 motorsafe and sound from heavy hits andyour downtube covered from front tireprojectiles. Integrated drain holes keepwater out of the bilge and away fromthe goods.

SHUTTLE SHIELD:An integrated protection slab shieldsthe downtube from tail gate bashing.Never go into the tailgate battlefieldwithout a shield

CALM AND COLLECTED:Weve included our rubber soundmounds on the chain stay and silentrubber on the integrated chain guide tokeep the drivetrain quiet and tidy whileyoure banging down track.
