Hi from Norway!

[JonasH]

Just joined today. I’m currently not a Emtb owner but have placed my order for 2018. And I can’t wait to take it out for a spin when I get it.

Tell tell tell!

 

[Japuserid]

Ok , the suspense is killing me........so........I got 10 bob on...it's ...............a........................ Focus Sam 2 ?

 

[JonasH]

Yes!! That’s the one, picture not 100% correct, if you read the spec there is a Coil shock, so actually It’s cooler than the pic ?

 

[Japuserid]

Looks very nice indeed will you have to wait long for delivery?

 

[JonasH]

Probably mid May. But I think the wait is worth it. This one ticked all my boxes Shimano motor = shorter chain stay, 2,8” tire best fork and shock, nice long travel.

Yes it certainly does look good, and defo worth the wait

Hey Jonas

I Can't find anything about a coil shock , i'm probably looking at the wrong model Can you post a link so I can have a proper look at one

 

[Japuserid]

That'll have the Kenevo boy's shaking in their boot's

Nope it’s a Devinci AC XT. I made an huge matrix comparing different bikes in August/September 2017 and ended up ordering Cube Stereo 160 Hybrid Action Team. But as the months went by and I couldn’t get a order confirmation with a delivery date i cancel the Cube second week 2018 and 10 minutes later i had ordered the Devinci ?

Devinci makes great bikes. I used to ride the Wilson DH bike.

 

[JonasH]

I’m really excited to trying it out. Only tried a e-Ghost and a Mondraker e-crafty before.

 

[ChrisP]

Hi Jonash. Nice looking Bike! I've not seen one of those before

 

[JonasH]

Hey Jonas

I Can't find anything about a coil shock , i'm probably looking at the wrong model Can you post a link so I can have a proper look at one

FOX DHX2 FACTORY SERIES 205X65 400 (Coil shock, look it up)
DEVINCI - AC XT

 

[Japuserid]

Ok get it now

Why they are showing the air shock when it's spec'd with a coil makes no sense but hey ho.

Yep that is a weapon....

The reason is probably that they only have prototypes for testing and no production bikes are ready for marketing photos, hence only one picture from one angle. Computer made I guess.

I thought there was very little info on it, I can't even find a single test review You are brave ordering with such little info

I don't think for a minute you will be disappointed in any way shape or form and as, Al Boneto say's they make great bikes, being a dealer he would know!

Fair play, to you, brilliant.

Looking forward to hearing all about it as info get's released

 

[Japuserid]

Hey Jonash

If it ride's like the 2018 Spartan ..........that I think i'ts based on

1:20 onward ..................................................

Might be that JonasH was a bit affected by me I too are ending up with a Devinci, but the DC XT version. Hoping a more trail-style bike will make me keep up with JonasH on the way up, but still smoke him(I wish) on the way down. Gravity works, and I have the gravity part on my side .

I've had 2 e-bikes, a e-fatbike last winter, and an e-mtb for the summer. Did decide to order a new one, and the Devinci ticked all my boxes. I've owned 5 different Devinci Split pivot bikes, and comparing to many other brands, they are very good at dialing their suspension. Having close cooperation with mr Dave Weagle is a major plus! My current e-bike is an E-Crafty XR, and it is a fast'n fun BIG bike, but has some faults that I belive the AC and DC will outperform. Even though Devinci is not as loong as the Mondraker, the AC/DC is more in the ballpark I find my self most comfortable in. The E-crafty suspension cinematics was not ideal for my weight. harsh in the top, great in midstroke at speed, but blows though the last part of travel too easy ending in some hard bottomouts on small drops/jumps. Also due to the suspension location it has limits on the dropperpost for a guy with short legs.

Here is a list of the attributes of the Devinci that made me "jump for joy"

- very up to date geo, with loong reach, low standover and room for long dropper, short CS (for an e-bike), long-low-slack
- great specs, including e-bike spec parst (wheels + forks)
- aluminium (devinci-alu )
- Split pivot and known for great suspension-kinematics.
- Shimano motor (love my bosch, but it limits how a bike can be designed)
- Devinci - for the love of bikes

 

[JonasH]

Yeah, that's some sick riding

Hey Seric

Yes I agree completely,

I love my current Bosch powered bike, the motor, has very good performance and has been very reliable, but it's size and shape, dictated the geometry of the chassis, on my current Lapierre Overvolt FS 700, I have invested a lot of time and resources trying to turn it into something it can never really be, always held back by it's geometry I still love it but..............................

When I first saw the Shimano E8000 concept I realized that it would transform E-mtb design. And it has, in 2017 Merida showed the way with their awesome E one sixty and now in 2018 we are spoilt for choice with a lot a great brands moving into the E-mtb sector because they are now able to design and build their E-Mtb's , to handle and perform like their regular mountain bikes.

Its a great time to buying, even if we do have to wait 33days..........................................................

Love the Devinci Emtb range they are a brand I knew very little or nothing about but looking at the their site, I can see they are very much at the cutting edge of design and performance. Both E models are clearly designed to rip

Nope it’s a Devinci AC XT.

Hi Jonas,
I'm sure you're having a blast on the Devinci AC XT.
I am trying to choose; going back and forth between the Levo, Kenevo, and the Devinci AC XT.

What bothers me about the Kenevo (which is closest to the AC XT) is:
- the tilting dropper post (don't like that),
- it is about $2500 CAN more expensive than the Devinci (despite the Devinci having better components, specifically fork and shock),
- the Kenevo has no display (being able to see the assist level, and the remaining battery charge, would facilitate my riding).
I think I would prefer the Brose motor on the Kenevo however.

As was mentioned, there is surprisingly very little info online about the Devinci.

Can I please ask you about the Devinci AC XT?:
1. on the Devinci AC XT, is the power-on switch for the battery on the handlebar (as opposed to the downtube for the Kenevo and the Levo)?
A power-on switch on the handlebar (which was suggested in one of the descriptions I read) would just make life easier.
2. Is the battery integrated inside the downtube, or is it simply bolted unto the underside of the downtube?
3. Is the battery removable for charging, and is a key required to remove the battery? (That would be good).

The reason I ask Question 2 is the following picture of the downtube; I see 5 bolts on the top part, and 2 bolts on the bottom. Assuming the battery is removable, do we have to remove those bolts?

Thanks in advance!!

 

[JonasH]

Sorry I never got my devinci is was delayed 2 times. I bought a Kenevo instead. Super happy with that bike ?

 

[Sophie777]

Hi:

I'm interested on more feedback, photos, etc about the Devinci DC as well, already seen the 2019 colors and ready to order one.
Any Devinci DC owners give us some kind of review please!.

Cheers

Where did you see the 2019 colors; online? If yes, could you please provide a link?

 

[Sophie777]

No link. The DC XT is Red and the DC NG/GX is Silver and Black, all I can say.

Thanks for the info!

Hi Jonash, glad to hear you are enjoying the Kenevo, what about Ceric what did he get in the end.

 

[Seric]

Hi Jonash, glad to hear you are enjoying the Kenevo, what about Ceric what did he get in the end.

I ended up with a Mondraker E-crusher R+. The wait was too long for me as well. I'm happy with my bike though

Thanks in advance!!

Did you find out about changing the battery over? I am very keen on this bike but worried that the battery change may be difficult.
