I purchased this model several years ago from Sierra despite owning a 10 year old Kestrel with Dura-Ace components and a Litespeed Titanium Touring Bike with Ultegra triple ring. The Evoke puts both to shame, even climbing 7 degree grades on Skyline Drive. Three years later, it is an absolute joy to ride and despite being in my mid-50s and focused on running 5Ks, I can still crack 20 MPH average speed over mid-distances whenever I ride it - and its the Bike, not me. Carbon is the way to go and Sierra is the place to buy it.

Fantastic road bike. I recommend this bike to anyone looking for a stiff and efficient road racer. Rear hubb is noisy but wheele is very strong and has needed no maintenance after 800 miles of hard riding. I am 6.6 250 lb. and have always had wheel trueing issues.

A joy to ride and very lightweight
