Devinci Bikes: Pioneering Research & Development
Devinci Bikes are distinguished by their commitment to cutting-edge Research and Development, resulting in technologies that enhance the riding experience.
Split Pivot Suspension System
Devinci Bikes were the first to integrate Dave Weagle’s innovative Split Pivot suspension design into their frames. This system is a cornerstone of all Devinci full-suspension bikes. The core advantage of Split Pivot lies in its ingenious decoupling of acceleration and braking forces within the suspension mechanism. By isolating these forces, the suspension can manage them independently, ensuring they complement rather than hinder each other. For riders, this translates into a more balanced and responsive ride, characterized by superior shock absorption, enhanced traction on varied terrain, and optimized pedaling efficiency. The Split Pivot system allows Devinci bikes to maintain composure and control whether climbing, descending, or navigating technical trails.
Full Response Geometry (FRG) for Adjustable Handling
Working in synergy with Split Pivot, Devinci’s Full Response Geometry (FRG) provides riders with the ability to fine-tune their bike’s handling characteristics. By simply adjusting a chip located on the Control Link, riders can switch between a LO and HI geometry setting. The LO setting slackens the head tube angle and lowers the bottom bracket, creating a more agile and flowy feel that excels on descents and dynamic trails. Conversely, the HI setting steepens the head tube angle and raises the bottom bracket, resulting in a more efficient pedaling position and increased stability at higher speeds. This adaptability makes Devinci bikes versatile and capable across a spectrum of riding styles and terrains.
Axis: Uncompromising Quality Control
Axis embodies Devinci Bikes’ relentless pursuit of quality. Every Devinci frame undergoes a rigorous four-step manufacturing process, incorporating stringent quality control checks at each stage. The journey begins with a custom-built mold where frame tubes are precisely spot-welded. Expert welders then meticulously hand-weld each frame, ensuring structural integrity and precision. Following welding, frames undergo a comprehensive heat treatment, followed by rapid quenching to enhance material strength and overall frame durability. Devinci further distinguishes itself by CNC machining pivot points and bearing housings after heat treatment. This crucial step prevents deformation that can occur during heat treatment, a common practice among other manufacturers who machine before. By machining post-heat treatment, Devinci significantly increases frame longevity and ensures precise bearing alignment. Finally, each frame is subjected to a final alignment test, guaranteeing a perfectly tuned machine that meets Devinci’s exacting standards.
Devinci Monocoque Carbon: Advanced Carbon Construction
Devinci Bikes utilizes a proprietary monocoque carbon construction, setting a new benchmark for lightweight strength and performance. This exclusive carbon layup features cross-hatched, unidirectional carbon fiber layers, fortified with high-strength epoxy resin and a nano powder additive. This advanced carbon material is then molded into bike frames using a bladder molding process, coupled with silicone inserts for intricate junctions. This sophisticated manufacturing technique results in frames that are exceptionally light, remarkably strong, and possess superior vibration damping characteristics. Devinci Monocoque Carbon frames deliver unparalleled all-mountain performance, providing riders with a responsive, efficient, and comfortable experience on the trails.
In conclusion, Devinci Bikes stands as a testament to Canadian ingenuity and dedication to bicycle manufacturing excellence. Their focus on in-house production, driven by continuous R&D and stringent quality control, results in bikes that are not only innovative but also built to last, backed by their confidence-inspiring Lifetime Warranty. For riders seeking high-performance and reliable machines, Devinci Bikes offers a compelling choice, embodying a true passion for cycling.
