* DISCLAIMER: We are testing many dierent tires to establish a clearance number that cover a wide spectrum of tires with
appropriate frame clearance. However, it is impossible for us to test all tires and rim combination available on the market,
so be mindful that some combinations may result in slight rubbing if higher than 66mm in actual width.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1- THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF EACH BEARING HOUSING TO REMOVE ANY DIRT OR OLD GREASE;
2- APPLY HIGH QUALITY WATERPROOF GREASE ON THE INSIDE FACE AND INSIDE DIAMETER OF ALL BEARING
HOUSINGS BEFORE PRESS-FIT;
3- APPLY HIGH QUALITY WATERPROOF GREASE TO ALL PIVOT PARTS THAT CONTACT WITH THE INNER
DIAMETER OF THE BEARINGS.
4- APPLY HIGH QUALITY WATERPROOF GREASE TO ALL NON-THREADED METAL-TO-METAL INTERFACES (EX.:
PLANAR FACE OF THE PIVOT SPACER THAT CONTACTS THE LATERAL FACES OF THE FRONT TRIANGLE WL
PIVOT). THESE INSTRUCTIONS ALSO APPLY TO THE SHOCK ASSEMBLY;
5- UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, APPLY BLUE LOCTITE 242 ON ALL THREADS BEFORE ASSEMBLY TO THE
SPECIFIED TORQUE VALUE;
6- TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FRAME, THE SEATPOST MUST HAVE A MINIMUM INSERTION IN THE SEAT
TUBE.
CARBON FRAME:
SMALL / MEDIUM / LARGE / X-LARGE - 100mm INSERTION
*ALWAYS VERIFY CONNECTOR CLEARANCE BEFORE FULLY INSERTING A DROPPER POST.
7- FRG ADJUSTABLE : THIS DESIGN ALLOWS RIDERS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A LOW OR HIGH POSITION. WITH
FRG ADJUSTABLE TECHNOLOGY, YOU CAN FINE-TUNE YOUR RIDE TO PERSONAL TASTES OR SPECIFIC TRAIL
TYPES USING A FLIP-FLOP PIVOT MECHANISM THAT SLIGHTLY CHANGES THE BIKE'S GEOMETRY AS SHOWN
BELOW.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT A CLEAN BIKE PERFOMS BETTER. DEVINCI RECOMMENDS WASHING YOUR
BIKE REGULARLY USING A BRUSH AND SOAPY WATER. HOWEVER, DEVINCI DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE
OF A PRESSURE WASHER, SINCE THIS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE SERVICE LIFE OF BALL BEARINGS.
EVEN THOUGH OUR BALL BEARINGS ARE EQUIPPED WITH HIGH QUALITY DOUBLE-LIP SEALS, HIGH
PRESSURE WATER CAN STILL PASS THESE SEALS AND REMOVE THE GREASE INSIDE THE BEARING. THIS
MAY CAUSE PREMATURE CORROSION AND WEAR OF THE BALL BEARINGS.

The frames of cycles devinci inc. are guaranteed against all manufacturing defects, for the periods specied below, as
of the date of the initial purchase. During these specic periods, devinci will replace or repair without charge, and at its
discretion, the devinci frames that display a manufacturing defect. The parts replaced or repaired in accordance with this
warranty, will be covered for a period equal to the remaining portion of the warranty of the original equipment. Replace-
ment parts are subject to availability. In certain cases, color and/or model may dier from the original parts.

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
Each devinci bicycle was conceived for a specic use. The operational life of a bicycle varies according to its construction,
maintenance and the care provided. Intensive use or use with a heavy load, use during competitions or for activities other
than those for which the bicycle was conceived, greatly diminish its operational life. Any of these conditions may lead to
random failure. Abusive use will therefore cancel the warranty.
EXCHANGE POLICY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
Devinci is aware that the purchase of a high performance bicycle is done with the heart. This is why our customer service
applies an exchange policy at a low price to accommodate claims that would have been refused for one of the reasons
mentioned in the section “warranty exclusions”. This policy applies only to the initial buyer. Please contact your devinci
retailer for more information.
Limitation of liability: this is an integral warranty, complete and nal, for devinci frames. Devinci does not give authoriza-
tion to any other person, including the authorized devinci retailers, to assume or grant, expressly or implicitly, any or all
addition(s) or extension(s) to the warranty specied herein. Any other obligation or responsibility expressed by any other
person(s) and any demonstration or illustration of devinci frames is in no way linked to devinci and is furthermore excluded
from this warranty.
Devinci assumes no liability in case of any property damage, moral or bodily injury to the user, the buyer or any other per-
son(s), resulting from the use of a devinci frame or one of its components.
Except as limited or expressly forbidden by law, regarding any other condition or guarantee, express or implied, based in
law, established commercial customs and usage, including, but not limited to, guarantee of merchantability or adaptation
to a specic end, devinci declines any responsibility for any amount exceeding the actual purchase price of the bicycle nor
for any particular, accessory or consecutive damages that may occur in connection with said bicycle.
With regard to the exercising of rights resulting from the present warranty, the buyer of a devinci frame agrees to elect
domicile in the judicial district of chicoutimi, in the province of quebec, canada, as an appropriate place for the hearing
of all claims or legal proceedings.
ALL OUR FRAMES ARE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE.
