Damien Oton's 2018 Devinci Spartan

The Devinci Spartan has been completely redesigned for 2018! Utilyzing Dave Weagle's Split Pivot design, the new Spartan truly looks like the big brother to the very successful Devinci Troy. The original Spartan came to life as a race project for the Devinci Global Racing team preparing for the 2013 Downhill World Championships in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Ridden by Damien Oton, the latest Devinci Spartan is fresh off an Enduro World Series win in Finale Ligure, Itlay.

Lets take a look at Damien Oton's racing winning 2018 Devinci Spartan! All photos taken by Ross Bell / Pinkbike.

• Rolling on 27.5" wheels, the all new Spartan uses 165mm of rear wheel travel. Damien has his ride mounted with a Rockshox Lyrik fork running 170mm of travel. 

• This frame here is a stock size medium with a 445mm reach and roughly 1200mm wheel base. Damien is only 5 foot 6 inches tall, giving him plenty of room in the cockpit to handle the bike on the rugged trails across the Enduro World Series.

• Damien chooses to run the new Rockshox Super Deluxe Air shock over its coil counterpart.

• Check out the Backcountry Research Race Strap holding a spare tube and CO2 in case you get a flat tire out on the trail. 

• Having 170mm of security up front helps you smash the trail that little bit harder. Rockshox Lyrik Fork.

• Check out these Race Face wheels mounted with Maxxis DHR II 2.4" tires.

• Because the Sram Eagle drivetrain gives you such a large gear range, Damien is able to run a 36 tooth chainring up front for even more top end power. 

• The bike is suited with Sram's XO1 Eagle drivetrain front to back. The X-Sync 2 Eagle narrow wide chainring paired with an E*Thirteen TRS+ chainguide keeps the chain secure while riding and racing.

• Sram's matchmaker handlebar mounting system means you only need one bar mount on each side to secure the Sram Code brakes, Sram XO1 Eagle shifter, and Rockshox Reverb 1x dropper post remote. 

• Check out Damien's crazy brake lever positioning. They are almost above level! Crazy! Check out our How To: Cockpit Setup to get your bike dialed in.

• A little skateboard grip tape gives Damien a little bit more grip on the brake lever.
