We naturally wanted it to be light and fast on a race track. But most importantly, we wanted to bring that speed onto your trails. We were riding what is now called Down Country bikes all our lives. Until now, they were just The XC bikes upgraded with 120 mm travel forks, shorter stems, wider bars and a dropper seat post. We see this as the standard configuration of a modern XC bike, so we designed the Evolve FS for it from the beginning, with the option to go down to a 100 mm fork for racing.\u003cbr\u003eWe combined the lightest construction we could think of with a radical geometry and an extremely efficient suspension. It makes you fly up the climb before diving into the descent full of confidence. And where your ride would end on another bike, you go up the next mountain.The ideal bike no matter whether you are at the starting line of a race, racking up KOMs and kilometers of single trail, or just on a short and intense evening ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDUAL PIVOT SUSPENSION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"line1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn our Dual Pivot Suspension System, a slider replaces the previous linkage. This slider simulates an almost infinitely long lever, resulting in a kinematics that provides an almost perfectly linear-progressive curve. The slider provides precise suspension control, with a very sensitive initial response and then evenly releases the travel. This ensures a controlled feeling throughout the entire travel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1635\/3575\/files\/ARC8_EVOLVE-FS_XT-Pure-Black-Performance-02_480x480.webp?v=1721082750\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"col-span-8 lg:col-start-6 text-2xl leading-[2.4rem] mb-12 lg:mb-6\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLAYUP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"line1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo achieve the optimal layup, a lot of work went into FEM calculations: we analyzed over 50 different layups for the first version of the Evolve FS.
