For the final 9 years, the Troy has served as Devinci’s most versatile, do-it-all path bike. For its tenth birthday the Troy not solely will get a totally redesigned body, it additionally will get a bit brother. There’ll now be two fashions of the fifth technology Troy provided – The Troy and Troy ST (brief journey).
The brand new Troys boast a number of updates together with in-frame storage, inside cable routing, new rocker hyperlinks and UDH compatibility amongst others. For the reason that new Troy has been bumped as much as 150mm journey, it and the 130mm ST mannequin sit on both aspect of the outgoing Troy’s 140mm.
I’ve been driving the brand new Troy for the previous few weeks, so try my overview article to see the way it carried out on-trail.
Devinci Troy and Troy ST – Body Options:
The Troy and Troy ST frames are made in Canada from Optimum G04 6061 T6 aluminum. Devinci says this aluminum gives wonderful sturdiness, stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. The frames are hand in-built Canada and lined by a lifetime guarantee.
Suspension is managed by Devinci’s Break up-Pivot suspension linkage, which separates braking and acceleration forces offering wonderful small-bump compliance and stable pedalling effectivity. This linkage can also be tuned with a progressive leverage ratio that works properly with coil shocks.
The up to date Troy presents 150/160mm suspension journey, each elevated from the earlier Troy’s 140mm rear journey and 150mm fork.
Previously arrange as a 29er the brand new Troy rolls out with MX wheels, however all body sizes are 29” suitable through a flip-chip within the decrease shock mount. If you happen to determine to run a full 29” setup, the flip-chip presents Hello and Lo geometry settings. Flipping the chip for MX compatibility maintains the identical geometry with both rear wheel dimension. Suspension kinematics aren’t similar with both wheel, however the variations in anti-squat, anti-rise, and leverage fee are very minor.
For individuals who favor a bit much less squish, the Troy ST gives 130mm of rear journey and a 140mm fork. The ST is ready up with 29” wheels on medium-XL frames, and 27.5” wheels on XS and small frames. The Troy ST’s flip-chip presents Hello and Lo positions for all body sizes, plus presents MX compatibility for 27.5” wheels on the M-XL frames.
The entire Troy body has been redesigned, most noticeably with much less curves. The brand new frames function straighter high tubes, down tubes, and seat stays, plus a smaller shock mount on the down tube. The Troys additionally embrace a redesigned rocker hyperlink that shaves weight from the outgoing model.
One huge addition is Devinci’s “Shed” body storage system, providing handy in-bike storage for important path instruments and provides. Devinci was cautious to depart loads of area within the frames for water bottles. Even a dimension small will match a 500ml bottle with a reservoir rear shock.
Fitments/Body Safety:
The up to date alloy frames now embrace inside cable routing, with good clear straight-entry holes on the head tube. Key fitments embrace a SRAM UDH derailleur hanger, and a 73mm threaded BB shell with a 3-bolt ISCG mount.
As with the brand new Troys, Devinci is shifting their MTBs again to 148mm Increase axle spacing from 157mm. They are saying with 55mm chainline spacing (suitable with SRAM’s T-Sort transmissions) they’ll obtain the tire and chainring clearance they need with out the broader rear axle. The Troy presents clearance for 29×2.5” or 27.5×2.6” rear tires, and matches chainrings from 28-34t.
As for dropper posts, the Troy comes with 150mm posts on smalls, 180mm on medium, 200mm on massive, and 220mm on XL. The Troy ST provides an XS body dimension, which comes with a 125mm submit. The frames settle for 31.6mm diameter posts.
All Troy frames are constructed with Enduro model double lip sealed bearings. Key linkage pivots function double row bearings for elevated sturdiness and rigidity. To fend off harm, the Troys include chainstay protectors and decrease down tube guards.
Geometry: Troy
The redesigned Troy body options up to date geometry, with a well-known recipe of slacker steering and a steeper seat angle. Out again the Troys get dimension particular chainstay lengths, with two lengths shared between 4 body sizes. With three totally different geo configurations attainable, I’ll go away it to you to pore by the choices proven within the chart above.
Geometry: Troy ST
As you would possibly guess, the Troy ST’s attain numbers are a bit longer than the Troys, their head tube angles are a bit steeper, and the chainstays are a tad longer.
The above chart reveals geometry figures for the Troy ST’s inventory wheel sizes – Full 27.5” on XS/S frames, and full 29” on M-XLs. As talked about earlier, the M-XL frames can run a 27.5” rear wheel (with the chip in Hello place), however the flip-chip maintains the identical geometry as the complete 29” setup in Lo.
Mannequin Lineup:
Devinci is debuting the brand new Troys with only one mannequin of every… for now. Extra full construct choices might be introduced in Spring 2025. See the pictures beneath for full construct specs on the introductory GX AXS fashions.
Troy GX AXS 12S – $5549
The Troy GX AXS 12S frames are available Gloss/Matcha.
Troy ST GX AXS 12S – $5299
The ST mannequin’s body is available in Gloss/Stoneware Orange.
