STRONG: Outperforms even most aluminum frames in destructive and fatigue testing.
SLIM: EVO's smaller diameter tubes give it a significant aero advantage over its oversized competitors, without the weight and stiffness compromises of aero tube shapes
Funny how this always gets brought up.
Light: No Evo has ever measured frame only at 700 grams or less (or anywhere near 700 grams even). This includes evo nano, etc etc special edition
Stiff: There are stiffer bikes out there torsionally
Strong: meh whatever, all manufacturers test like crazy for strength nowadays
Slim: Shown in Cervelo's testing that there is no advantage to be had with the Evo vs something like a SL4
