Question: What are the pros and cons of the Motiv Evoke Mayhem?
Answer:
Pros include super smooth and predictable motion, excellent control on fresh oil and sport patterns, strong pin carry without leaving many splits, and a beautiful teal/purple/pink color combination. Cons include it can read too early if the surface is too rough, it is not ideal once lanes break down, and it performs best at the factory 2000 grit finish (polishing can hurt the reaction).
