How does this bike climb vs other bikes you guys have ridden, all the reviews I have read give this bike high praise.

This bike is on my list of next bikes to own, Im also digging the Django 29,Jeffsy, SB5,SB4.5 and 5010... I have ridden the 5010 and thought it was a lot of fun, Im going to demo the Yeti's soon, cant demo a Jeffsy or the Devinci's

I ride a 2016 Troy Carbon with 160mm Pike. I had a 2015 Yt Capra Al and find it climbs noticeably better than that. I also had a 2013 or 14 Santa Cruz 5010 and think that climbed a little better than the Troy. In terms of handling rugged and steep terrain, the Troy is also better than the 5010 (this was the older 5010) but not as good at the Capra. Overall, the Troy is easily my favorite out of the three and I hope to hang onto it for a while.

I have a 15 Troy Carbon and mine climbs great. In my opinion your bike setup will make a huge difference on how it climbs. If it is set up with heavy wheels and super plush suspension, then no its not going to climb very well. Its all in the setup.

True. In the above experiences I actually had the same wheels on all three frames and set up suspension carefully, so it was a pretty fair comparison.

Hey Devinci Owners....is this a good deal?

I've been looking for my first full suspension bike, likely going used. I came across a craiglist offer on a 2017 Devinci Troy Alloy GX for $1500. Looks like it has a few components different from the stock build, i.e. 12 speed (not 11), different dropper post, deore brakes (not sram guide), 2.6 tires (not 2.3). Seller mentioned a few scuffs on fork lowers, none on frame.

I'm going to check it out tomorrow afternoon. Short notice I know, but is it a good deal? What to look for? Are you the seller?
