Devinci Troy Carbon 2025: Sleeker Frame, More Aggressive Geometry, and Updated Suspension
Devinci Cycles has announced the newest version of their all-mountain Troy Carbon MTB. The 5th generation carbon Troy frames feature increased travel and revised suspension kinematics, more aggressive geometry, a more streamlined frame design, and integrated in-frame storage.
In late 2024, the updated aluminum Troy was released, impressing with its suspension performance, trail-appropriate geometry, and in-frame storage. Devinci had previously confirmed that a 5th-generation carbon version was on its way, and it's now ready for riders.
2025 Devinci Troy Carbon – Frame Features
The Devinci Troy is an all-mountain bike, offering 150mm of rear travel paired with a 160mm fork. This increases the new Troy’s travel from the previous version’s 140mm rear/150mm front.
The Gen 5 frame is constructed from Optimum-Strength Carbon. Devinci uses an advanced tuning process combining high-strength and high-modulus carbon layups to achieve a stiff, durable frame. The redesigned Troy Carbon features a sleeker overall design with a straighter top tube. This new design eliminates the upsweep in the previous frame’s top tube where it met the seat tube.
The Troy utilizes Devinci’s Split Pivot suspension linkage. This linkage separates acceleration and braking forces, providing excellent small bump sensitivity while maintaining strong pedaling efficiency. The Troy’s linkage is also progressive enough to work well with coil shocks.
The Troy employs a trunnion-mount rear shock, and the rocker link was designed to not require any extra spacers. To ensure long-lasting, smooth suspension performance, Devinci uses Enduro double-lip sealed bearings in their frames’ pivot points. Strategically chosen pivot points feature double-row bearings to increase rigidity.
All frame sizes are compatible with 29” or MX (29” front / 27.5” rear) wheels, but the two complete Troy Carbon builds come set up with MX wheelsets. A ‘Geo Saver’ flip-chip at the lower shock mount maintains the same frame geometry for either option. The only exception is that putting a 29” rear wheel in does increase the bike’s rear end length and wheelbase by 2-3mm. There is also the option of running either flip-chip setting with a 29” wheelset (but not MX!).
Devinci equipped the carbon Troys with their new SHED in-frame storage compartment, which offers ample room in the downtube for stashing trailside tools, supplies, and small items.
Fitments and Finishing Touches
For easy maintenance, the carbon Troy features fully guided internal cable routing. Straight-entry ports at the head tube look sleek and prevent cable rub on the frame. There is one water bottle mount on the SHED storage door, and all frame sizes can run a 500ml bottle or larger (with a reservoir shock).
Regarding dropper posts, small Troy frames come with 150mm posts, mediums run 170mm, and L/XL frames get 200mm posts. The Troy Carbon frame accepts 31.6mm diameter posts.
Key fitments include a threaded BB shell with 3-bolt ISCG05 chain guide mounts, SRAM UDH compatible dropouts, and a Boost 148mm rear axle. The frame offers chainring clearance for up to 34t front rings, and ample tire clearance for 29×2.5” or 27.5×2.6” treads. Downtube and chainstay protectors minimize paint damage and chain slap.
Geometry
The new Troy Carbon frame gets a slacker head tube, steeper seat tube, longer wheelbase, and lower standover height compared to the Gen 4 frame. The Troy’s reach is up to modern spec but not excessively long, while rear ends are on the shorter side. Standover heights are identical across all frame sizes, allowing riders to choose their size based on preference for stability vs. agility.
The Geo Saver flip chip is designed to accommodate MX wheels in its Hi position and 29” wheels in its Lo position. However, with matched 29” wheels, you can run the chip in Hi to get a longer, steeper geometry setting. This configuration significantly increases the frame’s reach, BB height, and standover height, and slightly steepens the steering and seat tube angles.
The geometry of the carbon Troy is almost identical to that of the aluminum frames: All key angles and measurements are the same, but there are two notable differences. The re-shaped carbon frames offer a lower standover height, and while the aluminum Troy featured two different chainstay lengths across all frame sizes, the carbon Troys get three rear end lengths.
Model Lineup for Devinci Troy Carbon 2025
Devinci is offering two complete Troy Carbon models, featuring SRAM’s GX AXS or Eagle 90 drivetrains. Devinci chose not to go with super high-end builds, opting instead to offer good value without sacrificing durable, high-performance components.
Devinci Troy Carbon GX AXS 12s
Price: €6,499
A size medium GX AXS 12s has a listed weight of 15.00 kg (a notable reduction compared to the aluminum Troy).
This model’s frame comes in a Gloss/Incognito colorway.
Devinci Troy Carbon Eagle 90 12s
Price: €5,399
The Eagle 90 build is lighter than the GX AXS model, at 14.48 kg (size medium).
Frames come with a Gloss/Sea Green paint job.
