Devinci has a new carbon plus bike in its 2017 line, the Marshall, and it's a short-travel 27.5+ trail bike with slack angles and rowdy manners.
Devinci Marshall Carbon highlights
- 120mm front / 110 rear travel
- Split Pivot rear suspension
- Adjustable geometry
- 1x-specific frame
- Carbon option is new for 2017
Less rock, more roll
To be fair, the Marshall isn’t a completely new model; it debuted last year under the name Hendrix.

Apparently, someone thought Devinci was being sacrilegious by branding a bike with the name of the rock deity. Even though Marshall was Jimi Hendrix’s middle name, it’s probably not the bike Jimi would have ridden, as it’s neither elegant nor precise. It’s probably the mountain bike that Dee Dee Ramone or a Stooges-era Iggy Pop would have gravitated toward — it’s short on travel, but the slack geometry and plus tires encourage you to ride like a hooligan.
Devinci Marshall Carbon frame and equipment
While the majority of 27.5+ bikes are 29ers that can shoehorn a smaller but much fatter tire between the chainstays, the Marshall was designed from the ground-up around 27.5+ treads.
