The All-New Canada Made Devinci Troy & Troy ST: Built for Ultimate Trail & Enduro Performance

Ten years ago, we launched the first Troy. At a time when trail bikes were overshadowed by long-travel enduro rigs, the mid-travel Troy had to punch above its weight class if it was going to stand a chance.


Today, we’re proud to release the fifth generation of our flagship mountain bike. It’s our most advanced aluminum frame ever. It’s built to last, by hand, in Canada. And just like every Devinci mountain bike, it’s guaranteed for life.


We’ve completely refined every aspect of it. With more travel, a new aluminum construction, MX and full 29” compatibility, Split Pivot suspension technology, now using Boost 148, and a new short-travel version, the Troy once again stealths onto the scene as an unstoppable off-road workhorse.


By focusing on aluminum builds for the launch of the updated platform, Devinci reaffirms its position as a leader in North American bicycle manufacturing. Our riders wanted aluminum frames with top-tier components, and we delivered. Available now are the Troy GX AXS and the Troy ST GX AXS. Both options emphasize on premium suspension, brakes, drivetrain, and cockpit, creating durable and high-performing packages that won’t let anyone down.


More build options will be available in spring 2025.

 All-New Devinci Troy & Troy ST

The new Devinci Troy isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s a trail machine born from innovation at our Chicoutimi factory. Designed with a sleek profile, the Troy showcases advanced engineering and premium craftsmanship in aluminum frame design.
