    Having been an advocate of the original, some changes made in the geometry on the revised piece prompted me to make this video.

    The new product does not perform as well IMO

    I think there may be two versions of the r48 Evo. The first version being deemed too aggressive so Focus modified it in 2022. It's aggressiveness was dialed back some although not as gentle as the original. It would be interesting to know which version of the Evo Bill was using.

    Doesn't the pivoting head encourage "pressing"?
