The Best Bike in Africa will be held at the 2015 Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair on 23 – 25 October at St Stithians College, Johannesburg. The competition invites fair visitors to vote for their favourite bike at the Best Bike in Africa stand. All the entrants that vote for the bike that wins the Best Bike in Africa will go into a draw to win the bike. Leading up to the fair, we’ll be be revealing the bikes entered in the Best Bike in Africa. Today we reveal the SwiftCarbon Evil Twin as the next candidate.
Built with pro racers in mind and inspired by the Cape Epic, there’s no one bike to do it all nonsense to see here. The Evil Twin is an unapologetic hardcore endurance racer. As you would expect, the Evil Twin is built to maximise every ounce of efficiency from it’s 90mm RockShox Monarch shock which has been tucked away to allow for two water bottles inside the front triangle. The rest of the Best Bike in Africa build features a RockShox RS1 fork, Shimano’s XT groupset, American Classic wheels and Thomson components in the cockpit.
