ARC8 Evolve Frameset
EVOLVE
The Evolve FS is our interpretation of a Cross Country bike. With the first version of the Evolve FS, we aimed to develop a bike that could maximize our after-work rides: essentially uphill XC, downhill Enduro.
We combined the lightest construction with uncompromising geometry and extremely efficient suspension. The result was the undisputed winner and a true racing weapon.
In the latest version of the Evolve FS, we revised the layup and reinforced it in certain areas. This allowed us to increase stiffness by 4% compared to the previous model, while the frame only became about 20 g heavier.
With up to 120 mm of front suspension travel, a dropper post, short stem, and wide handlebars, our Evolve FS is perfect for the increasingly demanding XC World Cup courses or the relentless pursuit of personal bests on your local trails.
