Founded over 25 years ago in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada (north of Quebec City), Devinci is not a brand you’ll typically see at your local bike shop – especially if you reside in the United States. However, the company is working to change that, with their appearance at 2015 Interbike in Las Vegas.
Devinci is another brand who has entered into the world of gravel cycling – “Open Road” per Devinci.
“The Open Road – Individualism is a cornerstone of ingenuity. The 2016 Hatchet is a breed of its own, engineered to push tradition with an adventure-driven DNA. From open-throttle on the open road to rugged, unpaved pursuits, the Hatchet delivers a mix of power and finesse meets gravel-tested attributes.”
Devinci’s Hatchet range of bicycles is available in three distinctive models. All three feature an Optimum R03 6061-T6 Alumin(i)um frame, tapered carbon fork, internal cable routing, rear rack capability and clearance for 40mm tires (tyres).
