I was hoping to get it under 25 lbs., but alas the cost is too much. :)

Better for racing than my Enduro SL which sits at exactly 31 lbs., before the Command Post gets put on even...

And you know as well as I do - it's only as fast as the motor.

Does the EVO have more travel than the regular epic? I rode the EVO enduro and I think it had .5" more or somthing like that and a slightly slacker head angle than the regular enduro.

3.9" front and rear. With this model Epic, they just spec'd burlier parts on the EVO version. This model came with a Command Post which I am putting on my Enduro SL.
