Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$900.00
Purchased At:
Steed Cycles North Vancouver
Strengths:
The frame is built well, shocks are smooth. Stops on a dime with the disc brakes and the bike rides like a couch.
Weaknesses:
The bike is a bit heavy, but a person gets past the heavy feeling after awhile.
Similar Products Used:
Nevada Mtn bike, from a few years back. No suspension, lighter then the Devinci, but nowhere near the quality of the Devinci
Bike Setup:
Frame - Optimum X freeride dirt jump urban assault frame Colour - matte black Size - Large Weight - 15.67 kg / 34.5 lb Fork - Marzocchi Dirt Jam Comp 100mm Head set - FSA Orbit Z1.5R Front Derailer - Shimano Deore M510 Rear Derailer - Shimano Alivio MC21 Crank set - Truvativ Blaze isis 36/24T Chain guide - Truvativ aluminum bash guard Shifters - Shimano Alivio MC20 Cassette - Sram PG-830 9s 11-32T Chain - Shimano IG31 Bottom Bracket - Truvativ Gigapipe DH LT Peddles - Shimano clip Front Hub - Shimano M475 disc
Rear Hub - Shimano M475 disc
Bottom Line:
The Devinci Kicker is a very good bike for me. The Devinci rides well for a hard tail and justifies the riding I'm doing. I would love full suspension, but the pocket book right now keeps me with a very good bike.
