TROY GEN-5 : CARBON
The fifth-gen Troy is now available in carbon.
Straight top-tube aficionados, rejoice. The carbon sibling of the Troy Gen-5, released last fall, is completely redesigned to bring speed, vert-crushing climbing efficiency, and deft handling to your loam-smashing routine. No frills, no nonsense. Once again, adiós and farewell to SB+ —welcome back Boost 148 and a bunch of new features like our new ‘shed’ storage compartment in the downtube that lets you pack spares and snacks on every ride.
An all-new meticulously streamlined frame with an updated Split Pivot suspension kinematic with more travel. The updated geometry features size-specific chainstay lengths, a one-degree slacker head angle, a longer wheelbase, and various refinements throughout.
Any trail. Every ride.
A new generation of unstoppable all-mountain bike is here, and the Troy Carbon is leading the charge. Our latest Troy takes the legendary ride of its lineage and cranks the volume to 11.
FRAME CONSTRUCTION
Devinci's Optimum-Strength Carbon (OSC) utilizes an advanced stiffness tuning process and a unique layup of high-strength and high-modulus carbon fibers to deliver exceptional stiffness and durability for premier performance.
Suspension system
Thanks to its concentric pivot at the rear wheel axle, Split Pivot effectively separates acceleration forces from braking forces. The result: an ultra-smooth ride with a hyper-active small bumps compliance, in addition to offering incredible traction and outstanding pedaling efficiency. The Split Pivot has been the suspension system of choice on Devinci full suspension bikes since 2011.
TECHNOLOGY
Devinci's Axis technology marks the pinnacle of dual-suspension production innovation. Precision Quality Control manufacturing results in the perfect alignment of all frame components—every time—that can be felt on the trail, nixing any built-in constraints stemming from the design process.
Never leave your must-haves at home again.
The all-new in-frame ‘Shed’ storage system lets you bring everything you need on every ride without having to carry it on your back or in your pockets. The Shed storage system lets you store tube, tools, and snacks in your frame. The system includes a waterproof bag with a zipper, featuring a pull-tab for easy access.
Although we bumped up the travel to 150mm – 160mm for this new generation of the Troy, it still remains the ‘quiver-killer’ in Devinci’s lineup. One bike to do it all. From greens to blacks, flowy to techy, jumps to slabs, we believe the Troy will elevate your ride, no matter where you take it.
The new Gen-5 Troy Carbon is available in two builds, both of which come stock with mixed wheels but are also compatible with a full 29” setup. The GX AXS build’s main specs features Rock Shox’s Ultimate series suspensions, fully adjustable SRAM Code Silver brakes, Race Face Vault hubs, Race Face ERA carbon bars, and burly Maxxis Double Down casing tires. The Eagle 90 counterpart is equipped with Select+ series suspensions, SRAM Code Bronze brakes, DT Swiss 370 Classic hubs, and lighter EXO+ casing Maxxis tires. We spec’d the parts based on how we ride. So, we are always prioritizing durability and performance while keeping astronomical builds and price tags out of the equation.
