First Look: 2015 Devinci Spartan Carbon

Devinci launched an aluminum version of the Spartan less than two months ago. Today the Spartan Carbon becomes official. It retains the same 165mm travel and geometry that makes the bike well suited to Enduro race use, but drops nearly 2-pounds off the weight of the aluminum version. The frame has features similar to several of Devinci’s bikes, including Split Pivot suspension and adjustable geometry via the rear shock mount.
