No experience with the Comp Evo, but I did spend the better part of an
afternoon on an Expert. I was ready to write this bike off, as even the Spec.
rep told me I might, before I demo'd it in hilly Kingdom Trails (VT). It
hooked-up in downhill sections and climbed up unrelenting sandbox walls with
ease, hanging with even the shortest-travel, steepest headtube 29ers in the
crew that evening. Ditto on having to choose your uphill lines/ pedal
technique, but I'm used to that with my Giant Trance 27.5 1.
BTW, it's TOM Hagan… 😉
