FABRICATION
AXIS
Devinci's Axis technology marks the pinnacle of dual-suspension production innovation. Precision Quality Control testing results in perfect alignment—every time—that can be felt on the trail, nixing any built-in constraints stemming from the design process. How it works?
- All Devinci frames begin with a custom mold, also known as a jig. They are then tack-welded by a robotic welding machine before undergoing hand-welding.
- Frames undergo an intensive Heat Treatment process involving tempering and quenching. This process subjects the frame to extremely high and low temperatures to strengthen the aluminum and reduce stress resulting from welding.
- All frames are aligned by hand—one by one.
- The final machining of pivot points occurs after the frame is completely welded, heat-treated, and aligned. While some manufacturers perform this step before welding to save time, machining finished frames ensures ultra-precise pivot points and perfect alignment. This precision contributes to optimal suspension performance with limited unwanted axial loads, significantly extending the lifespan of bearings and rear dampers.
- Frames undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure 100% confidence in their performance.

SUSPENSION
SPLIT PIVOT
The Split Pivot Suspension System is one of the most effective in the world. Thanks to its concentric pivot at the rear wheel axle, it separates acceleration forces from braking forces. The result: an ultra-smooth ride with a hyper-active and super plush rear suspension that responds effectively to small bumps in the trail, in addition to offering incredible traction and podium-crushing pedaling efficiency regardless of the circumstances: climbing, descending, cornering, etc. The Split Pivot has been the suspension system of choice on Devinci full suspension bikes since 2011.
SPLIT PIVOT HIGH PIVOT
The integration of a high pivot and the innovative Split Pivot suspension design provides a unique advantage by effectively isolating acceleration and braking forces. This synergy results in an extraordinarily smooth ride with excellent small-bump sensitivity, ensuring exceptional composure and control across the most rugged trails. Additionally, the rearward axle path enhances traction and stability, allowing riders to confidently challenge and push the bike's limits. Moreover, the renowned Split Pivot pedaling efficiency is maintained on a SPHP platform, providing an efficient pedaling platform, especially during acceleration or long enduro climbs. The Split Pivot High Pivot is a technology developed by Devinci, patented in Canada and the United States.

Devinci Smart Kinematics
"Kinematics" is another way of saying "how objects move." On a dual-suspension bike, the moving objects are the sections of the frame. Five principles guide the Devinci Smart Kinematic suspension design:
- Optimize the kinematics around the rider's center of mass, body position, and frame geometry based on intended use, as well as the shock tune.
- Position rear shock for maximum lateral stiffness.
- Use progressive leverage curves to allow coil shocks on all bikes.
- Remove unecessary material from linkages to reduce weight without reducing strength.
- Optimize progression and leverage ratios for both 27.5'' and 29" rear wheels.
FABRICATION
Optimum G04 Aluminum
The Optimum G04 designation appears on our high-end mountain bikes and electric mountain bikes. It represents cutting-edge technology aimed at creating tube sets that offer the perfect balance in terms of robustness, flexibility, rigidity, and weight. The combination of ultra-lightweight triple-butted tubes made from a blend of 6061-T6 aluminum, high-pressure hydroforming process, and several precision CNC-machined parts provides our Optimum G04 frames with superior durability, unparalleled stiffness, and a weight-to-strength ratio above industry standards.
DESIGN
FRG Adjustable
FULL RESPONSE GEOMETRY ADJUSTABLE | FRG adjustable technology allows you to customize your ride to your personal preferences or specific trail types using a flip-chip that alters the bike's geometry between a LO and HI position. This results in two different geometries in one bike: one that is more aggressive and committed (LO) and another that is slightly more reactive with better ground clearance (HI).
COMPONENTS
ENDURO BEARINGS
We use ENDURO brand bearings on our bikes for one simple reason: they significantly enhance the quality and performance of our machines. ENDURO bearings are renowned for their exceptional durability, water and dirt resistance, and their ability to reduce friction. Their high-quality design ensures smooth and precise rotation, resulting in a more enjoyable riding experience and optimal performance.
The exceptional durability of Devinci bikes can be attributed to the numerous high-quality standards in welding and heat treatment, as well as the deep expertise developed in collaboration with international research institutes and major aluminum producers established right here in the heart of the Canadian aluminum production hub known as the Aluminum Valley. We have been manufacturing aluminum frames for over 35 years, which is why we have enough confidence in the quality of our products to offer a lifetime warranty on all our frames.

DESIGN
GRAVEL GUTS
You won't find any road bike heritage on our gravel bikes. From the ground up, we design our all-road bikes for the needs of gravel riding and racing. This means you get comfort, control, clearance, and compliance, with component specs that can handle anything you can.
FABRICATION
Optimum R03 Aluminum
The technology of Optimum R03 aluminum frames reflects all the years of research and development invested by Devinci since our early days back in 1987. Hydro-formed, the 6061-T6 aluminum tubes are triple reinforced. They are thinner where weight can be saved and thicker in areas of significant tension, creating a frame that is both light and durable with excellent power transfer and amazing comfort. All our aluminum gravel bikes are built with Optimum R03 frame tube technology and S-Bend seatstays for added vertical compliance. Additionally, internal cable routing and smooth welds provide them with a premium finish.
DESIGN
DUAL CORE FUSION
DCF stands for Dual Core Fusion technology—a revolutionary advancement in bike design that combines two frame cores to conquer the three key elements of speed, stability, and intuition. By bridging vertical compliance with lateral stiffness for extraordinary power transfer, DCF simultaneously adjusts to physical data from both road and rider for real-time results. Improved power transfer means you burn less energy over long rides, your bicycle will work in harmony with you and not against you. Enhanced vertical compliance lets you test the boundaries of high speeds with confidence-inspiring stability, even on the steepest and roughest descents. Dual Core Fusion: Devinci’s commitment to unmatched performance under any circumstance.

ERGO 5
Devinci creates electric hybrid bikes that are incredibly comfortable to ride, thanks to five essential design pillars found in its models. The Ergo 5 geometry features a straighter-back setup for better posture on the bike, which minimizes neck strain and provides the rider with enhanced sightlines while pedaling. Additionally, the handlebar positioning reduces pressure on the hands and offers a low center of gravity for improved stability. Finally, the Ergo 5 design allows riders to place their feet flat on the ground when seated, ensuring that stopping quickly and safely is never in doubt.
FABRICATION
Optimum S03 Aluminum
The S03 frames represent the DNA of Devinci's regular & electric city, hybrid, and cycle path bicycles. Made from triple-butted, hydro-formed 6061-T6 aluminum tubes, these bikes are lightweight, providing unique power transfer and acceleration. Their thickness varies strategically: they are thinner where weight can be saved and thicker where structural tensions are significant. The S03 frame's S-Bend seatstays provide increased comfort, and internal cable routing gives them a superior finish.
