![]() A cool aspect of the Chainsaw is that you can mix and match the rear wheel and shock stroke sizes without any constraints. Oddly enough, the rear shock on the DH Chainsaw arrives with a 70mm stroke shock, but that can be bumped up to 180mm of travel by lengthening the stroke to 75mm. To switch the Chainsaw over to DH-mode, you’ll want a 190mm dual-crown fork, narrow range cassette and a fixed seat post. Clearly, Devinci is targeting riders seeking higher bike park speeds and fewer hairpin switchbacks. Placing the offset chip in the upper position to increase the head angle wouldn't be out of the question. In the lower flip-chip setting with a 29” rear wheel and 170mm single crown fork, the Chainsaw’s front center is splayed out with a 62.9-degree head tube angle. Devinci primarily intended for this to be a geometry corrector depending on the wheel size you choose, the lower for a 29" wheel and the raised offset for a 27.5". On the lower shock mount is an offset chip. The rear hub spacing runs 157mm wide, which coincides with the majority of DH bikes. Those measure in at 425mm for the size SM frame and increase by 5mm as you move up the sizing chart.Īll of the cables run internally and the drive-side derailleur casing takes a route through the enclosed idler guide that is placed below and behind the main pivot. ![]() With 170mm of rear wheel travel, 10mm more than the Spartan HP, the greatest differentiator is the slacker geometry and ability to convert to DH-mode.ĭevinci also relocates the main pivot on the front triangle of each of the four individual frame sizes to tailor the chainstay length accordingly. The Chainsaw is not just an aluminum version of that bike though. Often confused with the Spartan HP, Devinci’s carbon enduro bike, the Chainsaw shares the same suspension design and a similar shadow, albeit less sculpted. ![]() Fortunately, you can replace this one with the flush-head axle found on the Spartan HP. Quick-release thru-axle skewers - my shins wish these would disappear. ![]()
