Devinci Spartan HP GX 12s review

Sep 2021 · Alex Evans

High-pivot enduro bike hopes to hug the ground for top-speed performance

Highs
  • Impressive suspension from small bump sensitivity to deep-stroke progression

  • Enduro-ready geometry that works as a whole package

  • A solid spec for the price

  • Great tyres

Lows
  • Could do with a steeper seat-tube angle

  • A smaller chainring would increase its climbing prowess

Field Test: Devinci Spartan 29

Dec 2018 · Paul Aston

The new Spartan is a burly, unflinching bike, with big wheels and 165mm of travel.

Highs
  • Good pedalling performance and climbing position

  • Lyrik fork is easy to tune and a great performer

  • Stiffness could be good for harder/heavier riders

Lows
  • Harsh suspension performance

  • Stiffness of parts package may contribute to fatiguing ride

  • Tires and brakes unsuited to bike's intentions

[Tested] The New Devinci Spartan Carbon 29

Sep 2018 · Francesco Mazza

Devinci has launched a new version of the Spartan with 29″ wheels and they’ve also refined it with some new details that make it a more modern, aggressive enduro race weapon, ready to race on the toughest stages of the EWS or to challenge friends on the home trails. After several aluminum prototypes made last winter directly at the Canadian headquarters of Chicoutimi, followed by some prototypes in carbon, the Devinci testers, including Damien Oton, have approved of the final version of the Spartan Carbon 29 that will be raced this weekend at the final EWS in Finale Ligure and then released into the market
