Troy is here! Devinci renews their bike for everything.

Troy is the bike for everything, which the Canadian brand is now sending into its fourth generation. The twentyniner has retained its 140 millimetres of suspension travel, but the slimmer rear end with space for 2.6-inch tires is new. The bike also has better bearings, a refined geometry with size-dependent chainstay lengths and more reach for all sizes. And the details have also been fine-tuned.

When Devinci launched the Troy model, it was always the bike for everything - from extended bike tours to enduro races, the bike performed well. In enduro races, Troy was soon replaced by the more powerful Spartan. Now the "bike for everything" is already in its fourth generation and has been given more racing genes. These have already been demonstrated at the last two Enduro World Series races by team rider Greg Callaghan - albeit secretly, as there was no information about the new bike until today.

Geometry as the decisive point
The more pronounced race genes can be found above all in the geometry. The model has been given a longer reach across all frame sizes - from 440 millimetres for size S in 20 millimetre increments to 500 millimetres for size XL. This is 15 millimetres more than its predecessor in each case.

Since short chainstays are not the be-all and end-all and reduce smoothness, Devinci is lengthening them from size to size. Starting at 435 millimetres, the frame sizes S and M, the L and XL frames have 440 and 445 millimetre chainstays respectively. This makes the geometry more balanced, even for tall riders.

The steering angle, which has been slackened by one degree, also creates a smoother ride. This is now 65 degrees in the low setting and 65.5 degrees in the high setting.
Correctly recognized, the geometry of the Troy can be adjusted thanks to the flip chip. This not only changes the head angle, but also the seat angle by 0.5 degrees and the bottom bracket and reach increase by five millimetres.

Proven suspension system with steel option
The Canadians have been relying on the proven split pivot rear suspension system for many years. It allows the suspension to remain active even when braking and at the same time makes it more responsive
. However, while the Troy all-mountain model was only ever designed for air shocks, the new version is also compatible with steel spring shocks. This is possible because all newer Devinci models have rear suspensions with progressive spring characteristics from the ground up.

A striking change is the brand of the suspension elements: The carbon models of the new Troy are equipped with shocks and suspension forks from Fox. The aluminum models still use Rock Shox shock absorbers.

Lots of work on the details
A great frame is never that good if the details aren't also convincing. For example, Devinci have fitted the lower shock mount with cable holders to make handling more user-friendly. And cable clamps can also be attached to the threaded axle through the larger and better sealed main bearings, which should prevent cable rubbing on the frame.
The sealed rubber protectors on the down tube and chainstay provide additional frame protection against stone and chain impacts.

In addition, Devinci relies on bolted bottom brackets and variable seatposts with a diameter of 34.9 millimetres for the Troy. The latter should have less flex and wear less quickly. Where the racing genes shine through again is in the cut-out for the chainring. Enduro racers or pedal bikes can fit chainrings with up to 36 teeth. However, a chain guide can also be easily bolted to the two-hole ISCG mount.

Last but not least, Devinci offers a lifetime warranty on its frames - and not just for the full carbon versions.
Initially, the Troy is available as a Shimano XT12 version with a full carbon frame in the colors "Gloss / Full Sand" and "Matt / Purple Ghost", in the same colors as a Sram GX12 version, also as a GX12 version in the Black Edition with a carbon main frame and aluminum rear triangle as well as in the aluminum versions in "Gloss / Blue Andaman" and "Gloss / Red" with Sram GX12 and Shimano Deore 12.
