Devinci presents its first trail bike with Plus tires

The traditional Canadian brand Devinci presents its first 27.5 plus bike - the Hendrix. This comes with 120 millimetres of suspension travel and is seen as a trail bike for beginners to average riders to make it easier to get into more technical terrain.

Devinci's engineers have given the aluminum frame of the Hendrix a trail geometry that allows the rider to maneuver the bike easily, but at the same time promises plenty of fun. For agile and swift acceleration out of corners, the chainstays are kept very short at 433 millimetres. The rear wheel is positioned as close as possible to the frame and is supported by 148 millimeter wide hubs (Boost standard). A Boost hub is also used at the front. The frame has external cable routing. However, cables or cables for the dropper post can be routed internally through the seat tube.

The tried-and-tested split pivot suspension system is still used for the rear triangle. Spring elements from Rock Shox work on the shock destruction. With 120 millimetres of travel, the Hendrix has less suspension travel than its bigger brother Troy, but promises sufficient damping thanks to the three-inch wide Maxxis Chronicle tires.

Although the Hendrix is considered a bike for beginners and average riders, you also have the option of changing the geometry. To do this, simply turn the flip chips that connect the saddle rails and linkage. The geometry can be flattened or steepened by almost half a degree in just a few simple steps.

It should also be noted that Devinci still manufactures its aluminum frames in its factories in Canada. This allows the engineers to carry out quality checks on site in a timely manner. Devinci gives a lifetime warranty on the frames to the original purchaser.
