Submitted by Jaymes Descoteaux a Cross Country Rider from Portland, OR USA

Date Reviewed: September 5, 2003

Strengths:    Great all around.

Weaknesses:    None.

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.

Favorite Trail:   Surveyor's Ridge, near Mt Hood

Duration Product Used:   More than 3 years

Price Paid:    $1900.00

Purchased At:   Cascade Cycle

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.

Strengths:    Great frame with excellent components. Very sexy red!

Weaknesses:    None as of yet

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.
