The newest version of the Devinci Troy sees dozens of small tweaks, and together they add up to a greatly improved ride. New for 2019 they are also introducing a 29-inch version of the all-mountain ripper.
We've said it before and we'll say it again, there's lots to love about the Devinci Troy. For 2019 the 27.5 version gets a full degree slacker and is the first 27.5 trail/all-mountain bike that we're aware of to use the Super Boost 12x157mm rear axle standard, increasing tire clearance significantly. Never one to jump into the full carbon game without proving things out, the 2019 models are also the first Troys to receive both carbon chainstays and an ultra-clean carbon rocker with single-sided pivots. By moving to trunnion-mounted Metric shocks, Devinci has improved suspension performance. Standover heights have been reduced across the board, and an expanded size range allows the bike to fit more riders – especially on the shorter end of the spectrum. And threaded bottom brackets? Oh yes. Watch for aluminum versions to launch this fall.
"No two mountains are the same. From the Rockies to Appalachians, the all-mountain Troy brings badass performance to some wickedly diverse terrain. Powered by our 'Testing is Everything' modus, this fifth generation Split Pivot platform increases bottom-out force, while the team-inspired geometry tames steep, rugged, unpredictable terrain." - Devinci Cycles

Why wouldn't they offer the shorter offset forks on all their bikes?
