Bottom Line:
Well this bike in my opinion offers the best price/quality I ever found. The frame is very good. Stiff and light. Suspension FOX 32 f-80rlc really does the work! stocks components are good quality. Best bike I ever ride so far.
This is a bike that you can easily upgrade in time. I added a monkey lite XC low rise handlebar and changed the brakes control from lx to xt... I really get more stopping power now.
Overall Devinci makes great bikes and I really recommend them to anyone that want a resious but not too serious ride.
