The production of the new Spilt Pivot bikes has started in our Chicoutimi, Quebec facility with delivery slated for late 2010. The addition of new staff is a key part of the expected growth and will definitely help us move in the right direction.

The move comes as Cycles Devinci is making a push on the international market. Interest has grown after the global launch of the Split Pivot product at Interbike last September.

Every bike breaks. Some more than others which totally sucks.
If most of you know your history ( which most dont ) Devinci was a brand that failed all over the place. Constant broken frames in their old Magma bike and etc lines. Then came the new linkage design and the Wilson. Totally overbuilt tanks, but they re-built the brand and they didnt break. ( all bikes break, but these ones not as much ) Now the new Wilson's are very light and seem to work well.
First year that the Evil's are out, yup gonna go through some growing pains but you guys are all on this crazy mtn bike band wagon.
Remember the Cove Shocker. How many front triangles failed on that bike.... !! Whoa.. tons. Who was running that Media train. Gabe Fox. Know what... they fixed the problem everyone is back on the Cove band wagon.....
I dont ride or sell either Cove, Evil or Devinci. Personally they're not my flavor of bike. Just wish cyclists would get off this brand band wagon and just ride your bike.
If your a fat hack rider. Dont ride a light weight DH bike. It'll break faster than you want it to.
SO in recap. Just like Dr. House says.... " Every bike breaks "
Thanks for reading my pointless editorial. and Good luck Gabe.
its simple
the design of the 'Revolt' frame was seriously flawed in terms of the huge overload placed on the virtual-pivot short-links under full suspension compression, and the poor fatigue life of the front triangle when subjected to these stresses
Gabe did not design this frame, neither did DW (he does the suspension kinematics, but not the actual physical engineering on tubeset, pivots, components)
the fabricator in Taiwan tried their best to work with the design (and even spent their own time trying to re-engineer it to make it more reliable), but it was fatally flawed, hence all the breakages
my friend who is taking his retailer to court (in the EU the relationship is between customer and the retailer, not the manufacturer) said his Revolt was the "nicest riding frame he's owned, but unfortunately too unreliable"
this guy does not get big air and he's medium weight / build, he just goes fast and cracked 3 Revolt frames in the 2010 season, having to buy a Transition TR450 frame in Whistler to stop his expensive vacation being ruined
when he talked to Evil dealers in Whistler, they told him they were not happy about the reliability / warranty situation
thats what my friend said - he's been waiting months for an Evil Revolt "warranty" frame (his 3rd I might add...)and is now taking the bike shop to small claims court to get his money back
Edit: not targeted to anyone specifically....
