I received my new Troy a little over 2 years ago. I had been looking for a new trail bike for a while, and I was about to get a Norco Sight or Range until I heard about the Troy. My Kona Tanuki DL was just not cutting it. It felt soft and just never felt "right" for my riding. I was excited to receive it. Its first test was on a DH jump trail that my friend built. The bike is really neutral in the air and handles the jumps great. I did not want to get the Kona hardly off the ground, never felt comfortable on it.
It does have a shorter reach compared to many newer trail bikes (the 2016 version is stretched out now) but I like how it gives it a very playful feel with the shorter cockpit and short chainstays. This is was my first 27.5 bike and Ihonestly did not notice a huge difference overall compared to 26. Yes, it rolls over rock slightly better, but not night and day.
I then tested it on the local XC trails. Again it did really good. It feels much more efficient and I was able to climb the hills quicker than before as well as descend the other side fearlessly. I did not notice the larger wheel size one bit. It is playful and nimble. I am really impressed with it. It has been too long since an XC/AM trail rides has put such a large smile on my face. I once again can have fun on a trail bike.
I ordered this bike as the XP build kit, but with the carbon frame. Devinci allows you to do this straight from your dealer. I loved this option as it was a kit that I could improve over time as I have. I have since changed almost every other part except the fork. This picture is pretty much as it sits now. I like to review the frame more than the components because we all like to make changes to certain parts we like or get good deals on.
