Downtube guard is a bit short imo. Paint job isn't that hot too...

Still the only carbon bike to this time I would consider to buy.

hopefully it is not in the same price region as it's technical twin, the carbon trek....

It shows that the industry are in high gear towards the carbon material in the DH world,i think with in 10 years every brand has a carbon DH bike.The Carbon Wilson looks pretty sweet

Such a nice ride...nice application of the abp/sp patent.

And hopefully drive down pricing.

Looks sweet... now if only I was rich so I could afford it. Hopefully I'll win the lottery sometime soon.

I came.

The Aluminum rides light and my build is 43 lbs, I can't wait for this sh1ttttttt

Would be on my short list if I were rich and shopping for a new rig.

Have always liked the design (despite DW's over hyped techno-marketing), and personally I think the graphics are pretty wicked.

Doubt that. Devinci's are priced well. Even the Specialized Demo 1 is about $4000 cheaper than the trek.

As do I

Who is producing it for them? I could be wrong but i thought they didn't have carbon manufacturing capabilities at their factory? Having a Still fully in house made Canadian frame was one of the cooler parts of devinci...

Hooray for moar plastic frames, and I too love the '80s catamaran sail graphics. Pretty wild that they started with a carbon swingarm, then introduced the carbon front triangle later, which is the opposite others have done it.

Carbon seat stay. Chainstay is still aluminium.

I got to thinking about the price of carbon bikes this week given my conundrum regarding my trail bike. I was really surprised that the Specialized carbon frames are almost twice the price of Ibises (Ibisii? Ibii?). I think someone somewhere is leading someone else down the garden path.

It would be nice if DeVinci could follow Ibis' lead on this one and produce a great product at a relatively affordable price.

All that said, I almost got wood when I saw that picture. Beautiful! I even like the graphics.

It's not like they'll stop producing the aluminium frames... I imagine there'll still be canadian-made frames availabe for sale...
