| Features | DMC-G: Devinci Monocoque Carbon Gravity
Enter DMC Gravity technology and a carbon repertoire for rides built to flow fast and smooth in rock-ravaged environments. Mountain-specific Devinci Carbon Monocoque G technology uses cross-hatched and unidirectional carbon fiber layers, bolstered by high-strength epoxy resins and finished with a blast of Nano powder additive. This Devinci-exclusive recipe equates to ultra-lightweight frames, fine-tuned for knockout strength. Stand on the pedals, batten down the hatches, and watch dirt get demolished. DMC G. World Cup annihilator and Steve Smith approved.
TUNE IN TO ADVANCED STIFFNESS TUNING
All carbon frames are not built equal. Scratch that. Some just stand so tall above the rest, it’s dizzying. Devinci’s state-of-the-art, handmade carbon frames have achieved stratospheric status via an advanced stiffness tuning process. The formula involves harmonizing and hybridizing high-strength carbon fiber with high-modulus strains, while integrating numerous customized patterns in the layup process. The result is a fine-tuned tensile balance that combines the best of pedal-power stiffness with rock-stomping durability for premiere carbon performance. Devinci Stiffness Tuning. For the ultimate carbon blend—where and when it matters most.
SUPERIOR CARBON BUILD
Devinci merges bladder molding with advanced silicone insert technologies for precision carbon monocoque construction across all facets of the frame. The result is a buttery smooth architecture, inside and out—far surpassing one-dimensional bladder construction builds. Bladder molding is used during the layup process to guarantees a flawless fit for simpler parts. For more complex junctions, such as head tubes and bottom brackets, silicone-insert technology is the new standard for superior carbon compaction. In addition, the removable silicon insert ensures that adequate and even pressure is applied to the smallest, most intricate sections. This multitier carbon build process results in not only a lighter frame, but a completely synched ride built for ultimate, all-terrain performance.
Split Pivot Suspension System
Devinci Cycles was the first bike manufacturer to adopt Dave Weagle’s patented Split Pivot technology. Today it represents the core of Devinci’s full-suspension line-up. The genius of the Split Pivot suspension system is that it works in conjunction with you—the rider—for intuitive performance and a fully customizable feel. It harmonizes and maximizes bump compliance, traction, and efficiency—factors that are normally at odds with each other. The result is a buttery smooth ride with hyperactive small bump compliance and podium-crushing pedal stroke efficiency. The system is called Split Pivot because of its concentric rear dropout pivot built in line with the rear wheel axle, but there’s more to it than that.
The concentric rear dropout pivot, along with precise swing arm and linkage pivot placement, heightens performance to a level where rider action and bike reaction all meld into one. When you pedal, the bike rockets forward; when you corner, the bike nails your lines; when you brake, the bike maintains traction. Simple. Forget about shock lockouts, this superior blend of traction and efficiency heightens performance across all disciplines so you can focus on the ride.

How Does Split Pivot Work?
The beauty of the concentric dropout pivot design is that it separates acceleration forces from braking forces within the suspension system. This is achieved through precise pivot placement, whereby braking neutrality is tuned independently of acceleration characteristics. Suspension feel can be tuned by varying leverage ratio curves in a wide range of options to suit various riding disciplines.
Split Pivot Testing and Tuning
Designing a bike blueprint and manufacturing it from raw materials is only the first step in the process. In addition to cutting-edge features, rear shocks on Split Pivot models are custom tuned by Dave Weagle—in collaboration with world-class suspension manufacturers and skilled test pilots—to extract every last lick of traction, efficiency, and performance. This customized tuning is key to ensuring that every shock works in synchronicity with the Split Pivot, thus providing unreal feel and a ride you won’t want to quit.
Axis
Devinci Axis Technology marks the pinnacle of dual-suspension production innovation. Precision Quality Control testing results in perfect alignment—every time—that can be felt on the trail, nixing any built-in constraints stemming from the design process.
How it Works
1. All Devinci frame sizes are born from a custom mold, and are then hand-welded.
2. After welding is complete, frames undergo an intensive Heat Treatment process. Tempering and quenching brings the frame to exacting high and low temperatures, enhancing toughness and decreasing excess stress from welding. Once the Heat Treatment is nailed, and the aluminum matrix has been solidified, all frames are aligned by hand—one by one.
3. Step three in the Axis equation is Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining on all frame pivot points and bearing housings. Unlike other manufacturers that machine the pivot housing parts before welding them to the frame—hoping for minimal deformation after manufacturing—Devinci conducts final machining on the completely welded and heat-treated frame. The result is an ultra-precise pivot point for optimal suspension performance, as well as perfect alignment of the rear and front triangle. Unwanted axial loads, caused by poorly aligned pivots, are nullified. This markedly extends the suspension bearings and damper lifespan.
4. Frames undergo rigorous Quality Control testing on the marble alignment table for 100-percent dialled in geometry.
Bottom line—Axis represents Devinci’s rigorous fabrication process engineered to deliver the ultimate dual-suspension ride.
FRG Adjustable
FRG adjustable technology allows you to customize your ride to personal preference or specific trail type using a flip-flop pivot mechanism that changes the bike's geometry to either a low or high position. FRG bikes are quick and aggressive at lower speeds, with added stability at high speeds. Combined with a super low stand-over height, these agile, FRG bikes deliver precise handling and power transfer that reacts immediately and intuitively to rider input.
Full Response Geometry
Devinci possesses possibly the best research and development minds in the bike industry. Years of experience testing competition mountain bikes and experimental rigs outfitted with cutting edge data-collecting instrumentation has lead to Full Response Geometry (FRG) engineering for cross-country frames, as well as FRG Adjustable tech for full-suspension mountain bikes.
Optimum G04
Devinci’s mountain bike program is a product of its unparalleled R&D experience. Top-of-the line tube technology is adapted to Devinci’s high-end mountain bikes—all offering the ultimate in acceleration, power transfer, control, and stability. Lightweight G04 tubing is born of a tech blend of 6066-T6 aluminum combined with state-of-the-art triple butting, high pressure hydro-forming, and tapered CNC-machined headtubes. Frames built from Optimum G04 tubesets offer superior durability, incredible stiffness, and a knockout strength-to-weight ratio exclusive to Devinci bikes.
Devinci’s high welding- and heat-treatment quality standards, along with the knowledge gained from partnerships with the world-class industry research centres and aluminum producers, results in incredibly durable bikes. In fact, with more than 20 years on the aluminum frontlines, Devinci backs these frames with a full lifetime warranty.
Optimum Gravity Tubes
Mountain biking is the backbone of Devinci’s DNA, and it has spent years developing supercharged mountain bikes through its extensive research and development programs. Because aluminum frames are the standard for many riders, Devinci puts its extensive background to use with lightweight rides built super strong thanks to hydro-formed tubes. |
