E-Spartan 2022

Launched on 25 May 2022, the all-new Devinci E-Spartan is the brand's dedicated e-enduro, taking the aggressive DNA of the regular Spartan and bolting on a Shimano EP8 motor and a 725Wh BMZ battery housed in the down tube. With 170mm of rear travel via Devinci's Split Pivot suspension and a 180mm Fox 38 fork up front, it is built squarely for technical descending and gravity-leaning trails on full 29in wheels.

The geometry reads modern-enduro rather than extreme: a consistent 64.0 degree head angle across all four sizes, steep effective seat angles from 77.0 to 77.3 degrees, and a generous 455mm chainstay shared by every frame. Reach steps from 440mm on the S to 505mm on the XL, with stack growing from 625 to 652mm, giving a planted, stable platform suited to steep ground rather than tight, playful singletrack.

For 2022 Devinci offered the E-Spartan as a single Deore 12S build at US$7,799, and the value sits in the chassis rather than the badge. Fox 38 Performance and a Fox DHX2 Performance Elite coil shock anchor a properly capable suspension package, Shimano XT four-piston brakes on 203mm rotors handle the stopping, and Maxxis Minion DHF / DHRII tyres in tough Exo+ and DoubleDown casings come fitted as standard. The drivetrain is workmanlike Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed, keeping the price in check at a claimed 25.0kg.
