The Evergreen is a bit of a chameleon by nature, adapting and changing to best suit the terrain it’s tackling. Day or night, loaded or unloaded, technical or rolling, with a few pre-ride modifications the Evergreen can be perfectly suited to handle it all. Below is a photo essay that demonstrates how a few modifications can transform the bike from a road worthy rig, to a loaded expedition bike.<\/p>\n
