We took a look (and a test ride) at the booth of Canadian brand Devinci. Bikes are all made in Canada and the suspension models use Dave Weagle’s Split Pivot design.
First up is the 145mm travel, 26in wheel, ‘should be good in the UK’ Dixon. It’s pitched as a true all mountain bike that’ll still work as a daily trail bike. It features 145mm of Split Pivot travel, a tuning ‘chip’ in the rocker arm to raise or lower the BB height for different trails and it’s made in Canada.
Devinci Atlas: Here’s the Atlas from Devinci, it’s a 110mm 29er trail bike with ‘the shortest chainstays of any full suspension 29er’
The Atlas features the same Split Pivot design as other bikes in the range, along with a BB92 bottom bracket, 142×12 rear axle and that chip system to raise and lower the BB height.
We took these two out on a back to back test ride and we can report that the super short 16.9in back end really helps make the bike feel, and corner more like a 26in wheel. There’ll be a video along shortly about that too.
In the meantime, here’s the Wilson, Devinci’s full-on DH bike. It now features carbon seatstays for added stiffness as well as some very complicated looking machining going on inside that shock garage in the seat tube.
The new Atlas and Dixon should be out very soon. Devinci is brought into the UK by Haven Distribution

Atlas looks like a top contender for my fullsuss bigwheeler.
Yes, looks good. 110mm seems a good amount of travel to have for a 29er too
Like the Dixon, like that a lot actually…
Got any pricing for the uk, or will this be a job for my brother in vancouver?
Looks like they’ve got the adjustable geometry wrong though, the slacker setting looks like a good everyday setting, the other one should be slacker not steeper.
Not so Northwind. In the lower setting my Dixon has spot on geometry for very aggressive riding. I measured my HA at 66.5 degrees, a BB of 13.7″ and with 145mm rear travel it feels utterly planted.
I’m surprised that GT don’t have anything to say about ‘DeVinci’s’ chip system. Looks mighty similar to what my old LTS used…
