The 29er has sure had its ups and downs in recent years. In 2016, all of the bikes in Devinci’s XC Race category were based on 27.5″ wheels. Fast forward a year, and now there is just one bike in the category, and it is rolling on 29″ wheels. While the new Wooky Carbon XT looks extremely similar to the 2016 Darwin Carbon SL, a few important details highlight the new platform like the switch to the larger wheels…
Joining most of the industry in axle sizing, the Wooky not only moves to 29″ wheels but it moves to Boost standards front and rear. The 12 x 148mm rear and 15 x 110mm front axle widths help to increase the wheel stiffness, especially for the larger 29″ hoops. Combined with a DMC-G carbon fiber frame and a Fox Float 32 Boost fork, and the chassis seems like it should be more than ready come race day. Other details include a PF30 bottom bracket, tapered head tube, and a single build kit featuring a 1×11 Shimano XT drivetrain.
Coming in at $2999, the bike has a claimed weight of 10.28 kg/22.66 lbs for a medium complete and is available in S-XL sizes.
