My rides on the new Devinci Troy have underscored why the Canadian bike maker has marketed this model as a “quiver killer.”
With 160 millimeters of suspension travel in the front and 150 millimeters in the rear, the Troy sits right in the sweet spot for riders like me, who want to handle the broad spectrum of terrain, from extended technical climbs to steep, rowdy descents. Ten years ago, Devinci released the first rendition of their flagship bike. This model is the fifth generation, built from aluminum in Canada, and features sleek lines and nice looks, with a bit of extra heft that one can expect from a non-carbon frame. But the payoff is a bike that feels undeniably durable and ready to take on the rigors of challenging rides. They've also released the Troy ST (140/150) for those who want a little less travel.
