Morning,
Looking to replace a Turner 5spot soon and have my eye on the devinci Troy. I haven't seen many about but has any one had any experience of them? I had a little sit on one for size the other week and it seems a bit 'butch' for a trail bike 140mm travel.
Also, is there anything else I should be considering?
I don't know where you are looking but both Freeborn and Epic.tv have some absolute steals on Devincis at the moment
Yeah I saw that, it was the 2016 Troy I was looking at, great spec for the price 🙂
All I can say is: it's Canadian, so it must be good.
MBUK gave it 4.5 stars if that's any use to you.
Friend has one and loves it. Nice looking bike. Lot of bike for the money. Think he got a good deal from Freeborn bikes.
I have one, a 2014 carbon, so a bit shorter than the 2016, it's a great bike, handles whistler bike park breaking bumps better than a 200mm flatline, pedals up hill great with the suspension open, let me know if you have any questions.
mmmm tasty

I had a Dixon Split Pivot
suspension worked incredibly well whether pedaling or braking on rough ground
and most importantly, a well engineered frame - really good built quality, right side of strong/light to take real world abuse
easily replaceable "common" sealed bearings (each pivot had the same size bearing) and simple to pull apart, made it very easy to life with
I have a 2014 Troy Carbon RR. I can't really fault it. A lot of fun, easy to chuck about and climbs better than any trail bike I've had before. I've done Wales trips, a 113 mile South Downs Way ride and days at PORC on it and it's always happy.
I talked myself into it 🙂
Just built up and had 1st shakedown ride. Really well balanced, quiet and pedals great.
