Submitted by Jaymes Descoteaux a Cross Country Rider from Portland, OR USA
Date Reviewed: September 5, 2003
Favorite Trail:Surveyor's Ridge, near Mt Hood
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $1900.00
Purchased At:Cascade Cycle
Strengths:Great all around.
Weaknesses:None.
Similar Products Used:I've ridden a Klein, Cannondale, and Schwinn hardtails, and this is by far my favorite of the bunch.
Bike Setup:Mine was cutom ordered in 1998, so I built it up with XTR and XT components, Spinergy wheels, and Judy XC forks. It resembles the Devinci Moonracer's setup.
Bottom Line:Amazing hardtail bike. S shaped oval tubes in the rear triangle, oversized tubing, and great geometry make for a stiff, responsive frame. Great stand-over clearance and a high crank make it a super fun XC bike. I don't think I'll ever get rid of mine. Good luck finding a dealer in the U.S., though! Worth a drive to Canada to pick one up.

Submitted by Rodney a Cross Country Rider from Kingston
Date Reviewed: February 19, 2002
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $1800.00
Strengths:Great frame with excellent components. Very sexy red!
Weaknesses:None as of yet
Bike Setup:Judy XC hydracoil front, xtr/lx derailleurs, t 6061 frame
Bottom Line:My fiance purchased this bike last summer. The shop had made a few upgrades, but sold it to her because the frame was so small. The bike has served her so well in the 24 hr races that we have done. It rides like a little hog, but with some grace added in. Devinci really does build a great XC bike.
