If you’ve been waiting for Devinci to release a 29″ version of the Troy, it’s finally here. If you’d rather run 27.5″ wheels and tires but with an improved frame design, that’s here as well. Continuing the Troy’s bloodline, the new bike still offers 140mm of Split Pivot suspension travel, but with a few new tricks for a better ride – like Super Boost 157. All of the bikes include a 150mm travel suspension fork, with the exception of the LTB builds which up it to 160mm.
Yes, the hub standard pioneered by Pivot is finally starting to spread. That’s good news for anyone who owns a Super Boost bike as the amount of hub and wheels options will continue to grow. Like Pivot, we assume that the use of the added width of the 157mm rear hub has allowed for a stiffer wheel build with more tire clearance in the frame, all while keeping the chanistays short at 432mm. Unlike Pivot however, both the 27.5 and the 29″ frames utilize Super Boost 157mm spacing whereas Pivot just uses it for their 29ers.
Between the two bikes, tire clearance is listed at 29 x 2.4″ for the 29ers and 27.5 x 2.8″ for the 27.5″ bikes. There does appear to be a slight difference in frame design between the 27.5 and 29″ versions since the chainstays are listed as 426mm on the 27.5″ model.
Other frame details include a new flip chip at the lower shock mount for adjusting the geometry from the Hi and Lo position, a Metric shock with Trunnion mount, full carbon frame including rocker link, a threaded bottom bracket, and a new XS size for the 27.5″ bikes.
There are four framesets in total, two in 29 and two in 27.5, with one of each in carbon and aluminum. It looks like the carbon frames will be available soon, while the aluminum frames will be available this Fall.
The carbon version will be offered in four SRAM Eagle builds starting at $4,449 for the NX Eagle kit, up to the top end X01 Eagle build for $8,799. The frame will also be offered for $3,249 with a RockShox Deluxe RT3 Devonair shock and Reverb Stealth Dropper. The aluminum bike comes in just two builds, with the SRAM NX Eagle build going for $3,199 and the GX Eagle build upping it slightly to $3,749. The frame will also be available for $1,999 with a RockShox Deluxe RL Debonair shock and TranzX Dropper. Across the board, complete bikes will ship with Maxxis Wide Trail tires in 2.4″ in the rear, and 2.5″ up front.
