Devinci is set to introduce the Troy, a 650b (27.5in) trail bike, this fall. The bike uses Dave Weagle’s Split Pivot suspension to provide 140mm of rear wheel travel. The Canadian company will offer the Troy in one aluminum and three carbon builds, as well as carbon and aluminum frame-only options. Pricing for complete bikes starts at US$2,999 and tops out at US$6,599. UK pricing is to be announced.

Last year, Devinci Global Racing athlete Steve Smith piloted his Devinci Dixon to a first place finish at the Crankworx Air DH competition. This year he returned to successfully defend his title aboard the Troy.

The 650b Troy can accommodate 140mm to 160mm forks
The Troy is relatively similar to the 26in Dixon in terms of geometry and intended use, though the rear suspension travel decreases by 5mm. The Troy will be offered in a four-bike size range, where the Dixon is only offered in three sizes. According to Devinci, the Troy will be offered alongside the Dixon for 2014.
Like other Split Pivot-equipped Devinci bikes, the Troy uses an offset plate that sits in the rear of the rocker link to adjust the frame geometry. Dubbed Full Response Geometry (FRG), the system allows the rider to choose between a high and steep or a low and slack setting by flipping the orientation of this offset plate.
