Checking in on the (now-mulleted) High Pivot + Idler (HP+I) Devinci Chainsaw

Oct 2023 · Mike Hunger
The Chainsaw is Devinci’s new high-pivot enduro bike. How did Steve Smith’s tribute bike fare against North America’s finest enduro rippers?
Confidence inspiring
Quiet on descents
Inconsistent spec
Undefined fork struggles to generate traction at the front
Requires great physical effort on narrow, technical trails

Aug 2023 · Luke Marshall
Ferociously fast on steep trails, but that's a trade-off for all-round ability
Few trails are outside the Chainsaw’s comfort zone
Downhill performance
Robust design
Lower chain guide adds significant drag
Shock with a climb switch would be welcome
Odd tyre compound choices

Jul 2023 · Matt Beer
The gravity-oriented Chainsaw can be build up in a variety of configurations.
Eats bumps without feeling glued to the ground at all times.
Excellent value, Canadian-made frame.
Versatile configurations for gravity focused riders.
Climbing is a chore; no lockout on shock, short dropper, cramped seat position, pulley friction.
The G2 RE brakes hold back the Chainsaw’s descending capabilities.
Rocker link pivots loosened on occasion.

The all-new Devinci Chainsaw GX 12S bears the name of Canadian mountain biking legend, the late Stevie “Chainsaw” Smith. Carrying his legacy—Smith remains the only Canadian to ever land on the podium at a UCI Mountain Bike World Downhill Championship event—and embracing his riding spirit is a bold undertaking. We chatted with Sports and Product Marketing Manager, Bastien Major, who spoke to the importance of the Chainsaw namesake, "Stevie had such a big impact on the Canadian cycling scene and on all of us here at Devinci. Naming the Chainsaw after himself was to keep his spirit alive, carry his legacy, and make sure he would always be remembered as one of the greatest.", Devinci partnered with the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation to create this aluminum alloy frame welded in Canada which, they say, aims to inspire shredders of all levels to find their joy in riding.
