Devinci Announces New 2020 AC, DC, & EP eMTB lineup
PRESS RELEASE: Devinci
Our AC salutes those about to rock with the kind of slack, aggressive roll you’d expect from the spawn of Spartan—and with the extra oomph of an e-equipped motor. Tame turbulent descents thanks to a generous 170mm of rear travel meets 180mm of finesse in the fork. And then turn around and hit turbo on the uphill. The Shimano STEPS E8000 motor boosts you to speeds of up to 32 km/h (limited to 25 km/h in Europe). The drive unit is controlled via a left-hand power-mode switch that triggers three settings (ECO, TRAIL and BOOST) for varied terrain. crank the volume and cue the bangers. The AC is an e-beast that shreds.
What makes DC so dangerously fun is its uncanny ability to acclimate and annihilate anything you point it toward — from technical and gnarled, to rolling and flat-out fast. Agile handling is a function of modern geometry that combines steep seat angles for climbing with slacker head angles for confidence inspiring cornering and control. Made in Canada frame anatomy is crafted from light, tough 6066-T6 Aluminum. Molded frame, motor, and battery protection shields the bike from abuse. And armed with Shimano’s next generation e-motor, that integrates seamlessly into the frame, you’ll experience effortless liftoff as you charge climbing segments at rates that’ll make your heart race. Hop on the DC today for a helluva good time.
EP brings responsive handling and a wickedly fun feel to the rolling, rugged terrain it’s hardwired to explore. Rip quick, technical trails with a modern geometry that combines steep seat angles for climbing with slacker head angles for confidence inspiring cornering and control. And when it’s time to flip the switch into ebike assist, EP makes climbing fast and effortlessly fun thanks to its efficient, powerful Shimano e-motor that integrates seamlessly into the frame. EP features a Canadian made 6066-T6 Aluminum frame, 130mm trail-taming rear travel, and molded frame, motor, and battery protection. Whether it’s woodsy laps with friends or a week of trail time with the family, this lively bike lives for it.

I'm happy I went 160mm (merida e160 900e) for my purchase. Good compromise between agility and plow factor.
Ebikes - Way more fun on the ups - great feeling on the downs.
Wilson 29 frameset 2019: 2699.00 CAD
Wilson 29 frameset 2020: 3299.00 CAD (but comes with a slightly different shock, saddle, bb and seatpost?)
Even the Sabbath, which is virtually identical, went up 200 bucks.
As for the rest of the lineup, some upgrades are more subtle but have an impact. Our XT DC is now GX specs with XO1 shifter, better casing tires (EXO+) and more. Also, there is the fact that the different parts found on the bike have also gone up in price and although we do our best to negotiate the best prices for our customers, there is the inevitable inflation we have to deal with.
Ebikes will always have a motor
"Tame turbulent descents thanks to a generous 170mm of rear travel meets 180mm of finesse in the fork."
Some of these sentences are hard to read and don't make sense.
Not saying they used this logic. Only that it’s an appealing feature to me because of my experience.
What happened to alloy Made in Canada?

It's as if all the e bike manufacturers are all thinking "The last thing any mountain biker would want to do is shuttle themselves on black diamond downhill trails that require a double crown fork so let's keep making short travel e bikes for riding lame trails."
Just throw a dual crown on whatever bike you want..I've done it several times-2019 Transition Patrol Carbon with an MRP Bartlett set to 180mm-was great..I'm buying a 2020 Commencal Meta Power SX and will be installing a dual crown.
Why would you only want 180mm of travel on a DH bike when pedaling efficiency isn't as important? I'm waiting for the days when e bikes have 220mm of travel, 63° head angle, low BB, 150 mm cranks, and lighter weight. Gear boxes should be standard on all e bikes, if you think about it it's pretty ridiculous to put a 200 gram rear derailleur on moped.
I said that I set my dual crown at 180mm on my 160mm Patrol...And I'm 100% with ya on 220mm travel, 63 degree HTA and steep 77+ degree STA!, gearboxes, etc!
Probably creaks just moving it in the showroom
