Devlin Cycles Expands MTB Range With New DH, XC, and e-MTB Models

Devlin Cycles Relocates Operations to Tasmania as Model Lineup Expands

Devlin Cycles announced a comprehensive expansion of its mountain bike lineup, introducing a dedicated downhill platform, an updated cross-country race bike, and two electric mountain bike models. To accommodate the scaling operations, the builder relocated from Maydena to a larger home in Kingston, Tasmania. Several of the bikes featured have either been released or are now undergoing full-function prototype testing.

Cailte DH Platform and Demon XC Specifications

The Cailte DH employs a Horst-link four-bar suspension design with a linkage-driven shock. This configuration separates the wheel path, anti-squat, and anti-rise characteristics from shock actuation. According to the release details, the frame utilizes intricate metal 3D printing to achieve complex shapes. The geometry features a neutral setup with a standard frame reach scaling in 10mm increments from 415mm to 515mm and beyond. The forward shock mount provides three positions, adjusting the head angle by 0.5 degrees in either direction from a 63-degree center setting, while two additional positions alter the suspension progression between 28% and 33%. Modular dropouts allow the rear center to adjust from 10mm shorter to 20mm longer in 5mm increments. A complete green build featuring a 475mm reach, 645mm stack, and 450mm rear center weighs 19.2kg. The frameset including a Fox DHX2 shock is priced at AUD $7,900.

Concurrently, the revamped Demon XC features 120mm of front and rear travel utilizing a flex stay layout. Built on a Columbus tube set, the frame weighs under 3kg with the shock and pivot hardware installed. The featured build—including Shimano XT wheels, Pirelli Scorpion tyres, a Shimano XT Di2 drivetrain, Fox 34 SL forks, a Float SL 190 x 45 shock, and a Fox Transfer dropper post—records a total weight of 12.95kg. The Demon XC frame and shock package is listed at AUD $6,900.

Fionn e-Trail and Torin e-DH Integration Plans

Devlin Cycles is entering the electric mountain bike sector with two platforms utilizing the Maxon Air S drive system. The Fionn e-Trail features a heat-treated 316 and 17-4 stainless-steel 3D-printed frame designed around an internal motor and battery arrangement. The Maxon Air S motor weighs 2kg, generating 90Nm of torque and up to 620W of peak power, paired with a 2.8kg internal battery rated at 600Wh. Order availability for the Fionn is slated for early 2027.

The Torin e-DH takes the Cailte DH platform as its foundational layout, adapting the geometry for self-shuttling and bike-park use with 200mm of front and rear travel. Planned specifications incorporate a 250 x 75 Fox DHX2 shock, Universal Derailleur Hanger, and Devlin Universal Brake Mount, pushing the estimated total weight to between 25kg and 25.5kg. The Torin remains in concept development, with a full-function prototype scheduled for 2027.

Production Scaling and Unresolved Pricing Schedules

While the Cailte DH and Demon XC are currently available to order, the exact pricing structures for the complete builds across the model range remain dependent on final component specifications. Testing on the Fionn prototype continues ahead of production-intended drive system deliveries, leaving the final weight targets subject to ongoing engineering adjustments. Pricing details for both the Fionn e-Trail and Torin e-DH have not yet been announced by Devlin Cycles.
