from Mission, BC. CanadaDate Reviewed: August 5, 2003
Strengths: Its a Kick ass west coast built bike! ITs tough and light. (mine weights in at 39 lbs.) The Devo handles 5-6ft drops with ease, and kicks ass on the fast single track and dirt jumping.Weaknesses: The new Hayes brakes have a tacky friction fit plug where you bleed them from by the lever, it popped off and puked oil everywhere. I lost the plug and my front brake for the entire day. That sucked.Bottom Line: This bike is bomb proof. Its great to see a relatively small BC company pumping out such rock solid bikes. Go get yourself one.
Favorite Trail: The Wood Lot network in Maple Ridge
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Bike Setup: Rock Shox Boxxer Race, Fox Vanilla RC, Hayes Brakes, XT components, single track rims, Maxxis rubber.

from CalgaryDate Reviewed: June 9, 2001
Strengths: This bike kicks some serious ass, it's a great flatlander free stylin and downhill bike.
this was my second bike and the only one that could hold up to jumps and ramps over 5"!
Weaknesses: The only weaknesses were the climbing capabilities with it being 200 pounds that weighs you down going up steep hills the other weakness is it's stock componet cranckset I upgradeed to higher quality set for better pedaling but the rest is all original and runing like a dreamBottom Line: the bottom line is that this kick ass bike can hold its own plus some but when your ready for a serious downhill and freestyle bike come and look the devo up

Strengths:
super strong frameset.
plush suspension.
full hayes hydraulic disc.Weaknesses:
wheelsets not strong enough (sun rhynolite suck ass).
freehub bodies lick pouch and cannot be upgraded to anything.Bottom Line: this bike kicks some serious-ass. not a great climber but who gives a cuz it more than makes up for it on the flats and the downhills. you can launch a five foot drop and it sucks it up like a slut on prom night. this is a great bike from a small hardcore westcoast bike co. b.c. bikes are the best in the world!!!
