Any insight out there on the 2012?
-Pretty sure there will be a XL version
-Some rumblings about a carbon rear?

2012 Devinci Wilson

I heard Stevie Smith was gonna win worlds on his so it must be damn good.
I hope both are true.
Anyone know if their carbon road frames are made entirely in house like the wilson?

With a broken tibia?
Hes canadian. He;ll wrap it in back bacon and walk it off.
Was my sarcasm that subtle?
feck, apparently I didn't actually read your post and though you said 'ride' instead of 'win'
Barel would still race with that injury though, clearly needs to MTFU

I've been tempted to buy a 2011, but I think the large would be too small for me. So definitely interested to see if there are any revisions.
All DeVinci carbon is made overseas.
Meaning the DH bike will also be made overseas.
Nope, it just means the seatstays will be made in Asia.
Same place as Specialized makes their DH bikes?
Looks like metal to me
i dont see welds on the seatstay but why just make them out of carbon? just to say the frame is part carbon?
lame

I didn't design the frame (obviously), but I can make an intelligent guess. The seatstay is a big piece (5 welded pieces actually) of metal. It's probably a good part of the overall weight of the frame and (I think) it's also unsprung weight. It's not a particularly prone part of the frame and seems like a good place to lose a chunk of weight and probably increase stiffness.
It's also optional on frames and only stock on the highest level complete.
keep lookingZOMG
Welded carbon??!!!!
duh huh huh
It was for 2011, dropnzone.com seemed to be the only online US retailer for them. I think competitive were selling them early on, performance just have completes.
Hoping 2012 brings an XL size frame and I'd love it in the 2010 RC frame colour, black with dark decals. That photo above looks greenish/grey, not what I want.
anyone know the reach (and stack) on the 2011 size L? Even taking into account the extra short CS, the relatively short WB has me thinking the current Large would be too short for me (6' 3") in terms of Reach.
(reach = 16 - 16.5 is about right for me)

That's why I didn't go for one, I'm 6'2" and want > 16" reach and I believe they're shorter than that.
I don't have reach and stack measurements, but the WB on a large is 47.3". The geo on the Devinci site is incorrect and has been discussed on pretty much every thread about this bike. The catalog PDF on the site has correct geo. The 2012 XL has a 48" WB.
If the other figures match that scale, that could be spot on
then youre arent looking at the seatstay?
I heard that the carbon seatstay wasn't really lighter than the aluminium. Maybe stiffer?
Definetly better looking! (And that is really important).

to make it last they need to make it weight more vs the weight of the al,hense little to no worth or gain.
Hearing some buzz about Code's causing some issues while braking...
not just the wilson though..
yesterday we received some weird undrilled Avid rotors from the UK Avid distrib. for a customer who bought a Niner (29er) rigid with Elixir brakes who is getting horrible resonance from both front and rear brakes
replaced the stock G3 rotors with the undrilled rotors and the noise disappeared
heard of this issue on Trek Session amongst other frames too?
The brake issue is similar to that of the Trek Session ABP. Some frames seems to have the issue while others do not (while running identical specs). Regardless it was an easy fix for me.Faced all the mounting holes, cleaned and regreased the rear pivots and flip chip and tightened everything to spec.
Maybe someone is interested. Sicklines reviewed the Wilson:

Nice!
Looks like they extended the rear fender down as well in efforts to keep the shock clean.

a great tip for any riders on the 2011 Wilson SP who wants to protect their rear shock from roost
grab a RR (rapid racer) neoprene fork mudguard in the 200mm variety
this straps perfectly in the rear of the Wilson and stops any crud spraying your shock bushings or shock shaft

That's a production frame color - Fuzzy edition. The carbon seatstay looks awesome in person.
