The Django Carbon X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike is DeVinci's flagship trail bike, made to cover ground with the agility of an XC bike while remaining surefooted when the trails get seriously hairy. Pairing unstoppable 29-inch wheels with the lively handling of the Split Pivot linkage, the Django makes quick work of challenging terrain both up and down the mountain while never feeling like you're lugging around too much bike. The well-balanced geometry further adds to the bike's versatility, providing the stability needed at higher speeds while staying comfortable and efficient enough to venture deep into the backcountry on all-day rides. To cap it off, DeVinci gives the bike a first-rate build kit consisting of Race Face Next R36 carbon wheels, Fox Factory suspension, and SRAM's proven XO1 Eagle drivetrain. The defining element of DeVinci's full-suspension mountain bikes is the Dave Weagle-designed Split Pivot suspension. Dave Weagle is well-known in the industry as the engineer behind DW-Link, and his creations deliver some of the best suspension characteristics on the market. Split Pivot's basic design consists of a main pivot and a concentric rear axle pivot separated by the chainstay (hence the name Split Pivot), as well as the brake link (seatstay) that floats between the concentric rear axle pivot and the rocker link that controls the shock. The floating brake link isolates braking forces from acceleration and suspension forces, resulting in uncompromising traction when you're charging across rough terrain--even while braking or pedaling. Many other designs have a tendency to firm up a bit under braking, reducing suspension sensitivity through choppy terrain and thus losing some traction. DeVinci's Split Pivot remains active, soaking up braking bumps and squared-edged hits effortlessly while retaining a supportive mid-stroke for pedaling, climbing, and popping off lips and rollers. As we touched on earlier, the Django's geometry strikes a fine balance b...
