Going fast or racing over technical terrain requires a pretty capable bike if you're looking to have fun and maybe even step atop a podium. Three things we've found that help us out in the speed and confidence department are refined geometry, deep travel, and big wheels. The Spartan Carbon 29 GX Eagle Complete Mountain Bike possesses all of this and we've found ourselves pegging the fun meter on all 6. 5-inches of plush, rear travel from its DW Split Pivot suspension platform a few times now. This bike is right at home in the park, on shuttle runs, or anytime the trail points down and you're looking to get sendy. What we love from DeVinci is that it isn't afraid to overbuild a frame for durability and increased stiffness as well as not forgetting to add in large tire clearance for big rubber. DeVinci has also made the move over to Super Boost spacing helping improve frame and wheel stiffness and don't forget to add in progressive geometry that kills it on the descents without sacrificing climbing efficiency to get you up there. Built up with a value-packed GX Eagle drivetrain, quality Rockshox suspension, and wide Race Face hoops, this bike is dialed for aggressive riding and will help you go fast and master new lines.DeVinci bestows the new Spartan with a full carbon frame to help drop some weight as well as improving its stiffness and responsiveness so nothing is wasted when pedaling and pushing the bike hard. It ups the ante by widening the dropout stance to the Super Boost standard of 12 x 157mm. Several other brands have gotten on board and we firmly believe that this is the "new standard" that you'll see coming in the future. After all, who doesn't want improvements to the spoke bracing angle which results in a much stiffer wheel that resists lateral flex while cornering, braking, and charging through technical terrain? In addition to the stiffness benefits, Super Boost allows DeVinci to keep the chainstays super short while still clearing a 29 x 2. 5-inch...
