As we speak, Devinci Cycles broadcasts the most recent model of the all-mountain Troy Carbon MTB. The Fifth technology carbon Troy frames characteristic elevated journey and revised suspension kinematics, extra aggressive geometry, a extra streamlined body design, and in-frame storage.
Final fall, I wrote a evaluation of the up to date aluminum Troy, which galvanized me with its suspension efficiency, trail-appropriate geometry, and in-frame storage. At the moment, Devinci confirmed {that a} Fifth-generation carbon model was on the way in which. The carbon Troys are actually able to journey, so let’s take a look at all of the specs and particulars.
2025 Devinci Troy Carbon – Body Options:
In case you’re not acquainted, the Troy is Devinci’s all-mountain bike, providing 150 mm of rear journey and a 160mm fork. This bumps up the brand new Troy’s journey from the earlier model’s 140/150mm.
The Gen 5 body is constructed from Optimum-Power Carbon. Devinci makes use of a complicated tuning course of combining high-strength and high-modulus carbon layups to attain a stiff, sturdy body. The redesigned Troy Carbon incorporates a sleeker total design with a straighter high tube. The brand new design eliminates the upsweep within the earlier body’s high tube the place it met the seat tube.
The Troy options Devinci’s Cut up Pivot suspension linkage. This linkage separates acceleration and braking forces, and presents glorious small bump sensitivity whereas sustaining robust pedaling effectivity. The Troy’s linkage can be progressive sufficient to work properly with coil shocks.
The Troy makes use of a trunnion-mount rear shock, and the rocker hyperlink was designed to not require any further spacers. To make sure long-lasting, easy suspension efficiency, Devinci makes use of Enduro double-lip sealed bearings of their frames’ pivot factors. Strategically chosen pivot factors characteristic double-row bearings to extend rigidity.
All body sizes are appropriate with 29” or MX wheels, however the two full Troy Carbon builds come arrange with MX wheelsets. A ‘Geo Saver’ flip-chip on the decrease shock mount maintains the identical body geometry for both choice. The one exception is placing a 29” rear wheel in does enhance the bike’s rear finish size and wheelbase by 2- 3 mm. There may be additionally the choice of working both flip-chip setting with a 29” wheelset (however not MX!). Learn on for more information within the geometry part beneath.
Devinci gave the carbon Troys their new SHED in-frame storage compartment, which presents ample room within the downtube for stashing trailside instruments, provides, and possibly some snacks.
Fitments and Ending Touches:
For straightforward upkeep, the carbon Troy options totally guided inner cable routing. Straight-entry ports on the head tube look slick and forestall cable rub on the body. There may be one water bottle mount on the SHED storage door, and all body sizes can run a 500ml bottle or bigger (with a reservoir shock).
As for dropper posts, small Troy frames include 150mm posts, mediums run 170mm, and L/XL frames get 200mm posts. The Troy Carbon body accepts 31.6mm diameter posts.
Key fitments embrace a threaded BB shell with 3-bolt ISCG05 chain information mounts, SRAM UDH appropriate dropouts, and a Enhance 148mm rear axle. The body presents chainring clearance for as much as 34t entrance rings, and ample tire clearance for 29×2.5” or 27.5×2.6” treads. Downtube and chainstay protectors hold paint injury and chain slap to a minimal.
Geometry:
The brand new Troy Carbon body will get a slacker head tube, steeper seat tube, longer wheelbase, and decrease standover peak vs the Gen 4 body. The Troy’s attain is as much as trendy spec however not tremendous lengthy, whereas rear ends are on the shorter aspect. Standover heights are an identical throughout all body sizes, so you possibly can select your measurement primarily based in your desire for stability vs. agility.
The Geo Saver flip chip is designed to accommodate MX wheels in its Hello place and 29” wheels in its Lo place. Nonetheless, with matched 29” wheels, you possibly can run the chip in Hello to get an extended, steeper geometry setting. This configuration will increase the body’s attain, BB peak, and standover peak considerably, and barely steepens the steering and seat mast angles.
The carbon Troy’s geometry is nearly an identical to the aluminum frames: All key angles and measurements are the identical, however there are two variations to notice. The re-shaped carbon frames provide a decrease standover peak, and whereas the aluminum Troy acquired two totally different chainstay lengths throughout all body sizes, the carbon Troys get three rear finish lengths.
Mannequin Lineup:
Devinci is providing two full Troy Carbon fashions, with SRAM’s GX AXS or Eagle 90 drivetrains. Devinci didn’t go nuts with any tremendous high-end builds, selecting to supply good worth with out giving up sturdy, high-performance parts.
GX AXS 12s – $6499
A measurement medium GX AXS 12s’ listed weight is 33.08 lbs (a notable discount vs. the aluminum Troy!). This mannequin’s body is available in a Gloss/Incognito colorway.
Eagle 90 12s – $5399
The Eagle 90 construct is available in lighter than the GX AXS mannequin, at 31.92 lbs (measurement medium). Frames include a Gloss/Sea Inexperienced paintjob.
