Okay, as someone that's thinking of buying a 2nd hand Revolt (that has all the latest hardware on it and has been looked after like a pro's bike) that's good to hear. I'm going into this with my eyes wide open but I have struggled to find anything about how the bike rides over all the other brown stuff that hit the fan.

It rides awesome. I'm torn on what to do when my warranty frame shows up. I have a V10C on order so I'll have to see what I like better.
Does it have the updated gussets as well as hardware? If it doesn't have the updated gussets at the seat tube/DT junction make sure you check there for cracks.

The evil is a rad bike. I've been waiting on a warranty for mine since last summer, but I've been riding it while damaged lately because I want to ride the bike again. It still handled this 15 foot drop pretty well! Hucker!
I've been pretty fed up with the lack of frames, but I feel confident enough now saying that I will get a new frame at some point!

Well.. the frame is Vandersteez's and it was new in October. So I'd hope it's got all the latest additions. I'm checking it out on Saturday.

i would think he would be pretty hard on all his frames regardless of the new updates.

other than the BS people like to sling around and all the sht-talking that some feel is necessary, the Revolt is awesome. the DELTA link is, in my opinion, on par with FSR, VPP and the DW-Link. The bike rides like a dream and it is amazing to reflect on a run and think about how the bike handled (think: whiteface/windham). i am a stickler for bikes and the Revolt is no slouch. it is no secret that there were issues with the frame. however, warranties are being honored and the problems have been rectified. i am patiently waiting for my replacement and don't wish to switch to another bike. that is how much i like the Revolt (and all the guys at Evil). boom.

haromtnbiker nailed it. The Revolt is RAD. I've ridden a fair number of DH bikes and the Evil is definitely my fave. That says a lot and answers dropmachine's question. Sure there are other great options out there (more than ever), but spend some time on a Revolt and you will understand.

Yup! This is one of many things that were kept under wraps so to speak. Looks like Walsh gave the approval for posting the team.
Not bad, if I must say. 
Hopefully Wyn will have a good recovery and get back on it when he can. Healing vibes to Mr. Masters!
More things will be happening in the media over the next few weeks so keep your eyes and ears peeled party people.
