Devinci builds its frames in Quebec, which is rare for any bike brand now. The E-Troy Lite takes their trail bike and adds Bosch's SX motor, the same one in the Norco Fluid VLT, with 160 / 150 mm of travel.
The SX loves a fast cadence and has a surprising amount of peak power for its size. Paired with the longer travel, this is a lightweight bike that's happy on rougher trails than most of its class.
The 400 Wh battery is the limit on big days, so plan on the extender. Devinci is a much bigger name in Canada than the US, so check for a dealer near you first.
What I like
- Bosch SX with Bosch service everywhere
- More travel than most light bikes
- Made in Canada
What I don't
- Smaller 400 Wh battery
- Few US dealers
Long-term test pending. Devinci, if you'd like this one ridden and reviewed in full, let's talk.
