During testing, everyone wanted to unload their opinions about the frame upon our uninterested ears. Aesthetically, the frame design is unique with its forward-leaning shock and rocker link, tucked-up chain stays, and in-line top tube and seat stays. The design is quite progressive and functions well with a coil shock (as seen on the GX DH build below). The Chainsaw uses Devinci's high pivot iteration of their Split-Pivot suspension design (same as their Spartan enduro bike) that separates acceleration and braking forces, keeping the suspension active under braking. The 6061-T6 aluminum frame is made in Devinci's Canadian factory and offers maximum durability, stiffness, and a competitive strength-to-weight ratio.

Just like Steve inspired a generation of riders and racers to let off the brakes and haul ass, the Chainsaw carries the same aura- inspiring progression and providing confidence in challenging moments.


Released at the beginning of April, the Devinci Chainsaw was created to honor the legacy of Steve Smith by delivering riders a highly-capable and bombproof freeride bike with affordable build kits.
