After the aluminium version of the Spartan, the Canadian brand Devinci followed up with a carbon model. Our BIKE test shows just how good the Devici Spartan Carbon RR really is.

The Devinci Spartan Carbon RR impresses after just a few metres with its absolutely playful handling and feel-good geometry, in which the rider is perfectly integrated. The suspension also turns out to be a real hoover that swallows up even the smallest pebbles from the trail and gives the bike tremendous downhill potential. Nevertheless, the bob-free bike is easy to pedal. The only point of criticism: the relatively heavy frame for carbon.

In Canada, no compromises are made when it comes to frame protection. But at the expense of weight.Photo: Georg Grieshaber Aluminium sheet metal instead of stickers or rubber protection.
