Is downhill racing back in the limelight? Today, Devinci Cycles is teasing us with a glimpse of their incoming 2027 downhill bike. Recently we’ve seen new DH rigs from Specialized and Norco as well, so it seems the industry is freshly invested in the fastest and gnarliest format of MTB racing (well, short of Hardline, anyways). This bike release is also a nice way for Devinci Cycles to celebrate their 40th birthday in 2027.
Devinci provided a press release to hype up the new DH bike, but this is just to get you excited – don’t expect too many details just yet. What Bikerumor knows is that a select group of MTB journalists has seen and ridden the new bike already, so we’ll have initial impressions of how it performs when the launch date comes in the Spring.
From Devinci Cycles:
40 YEARS ISN’T THE STORY. WHAT WE BUILT FROM THEM IS.
For four decades, we’ve been learning the hard way.
Our way.
On the factory floor.
On the hardest trails.
In the worst of weather.
And at the highest speeds.
We’ve designed, welded, tested, broken, and rebuilt more times than we can count.
Not to relive the past.
To build what comes next.
What 40 years of commitment has been leading to.
Something has been taking shape under our roof in Chicoutimi, Canada.
Born from forty years of Canadian manufacturing.
Shaped by riders past and present.
Built for gravity.
Made to be pushed harder than anything before it.
We’re not quite ready to show you everything yet.
But you’ll know what it is when you see it.
40 years isn’t the story. What we built from them is.
Find out what forty years built next.
