Graham Agassiz might be best known for huge hucks on bikes with 180mm+ of travel, but that doesn’t mean he foregoes some short-travel fun from time to time too. While Evil’s Following MB might look like a speedy trail bike for lycra nerds with its 29-inch wheels and a mere 120mm of travel, Aggy showed us last year what the bike is truly capable of: playful and poppy trail riding and annihilating corners. "If you’d told me a year ago a 120mm 29er would be a staple bike in my quiver I’d have said not a chance," said Aggy, but that bike sure seems to have changed his mind.

With the bike industry forging ahead on innovation faster than you can blink, a bike check from 2019 might seem a bit moot, but fact is the Following MB is still way ahead of its time in terms of creating one of the best-riding trail bikes out there, and its no wonder Aggy considers it one of his go-to rides even today.
