Mountain Trax have a demo bike (Wokingham way) - not a million miles from you and close to Swinley for a ride...0

You sign up to their demo scheme which is something like a tenner and you can test as many bikes as you like for a month. Check out their website

You should have no problem converting your hubs over to 20mm and Maxle.
I've just converted my Pro11s from QR to 20mm and 12mm thru and saved myself about £300.00 on my new build, didn't need to buy wheels!
Assuming the Evo are the same you would simply replace the front end caps with the 20mm variant and for the rear fit the Hope 12mm thru axle conversion kit.
Looks like they are
