13 reasons to buy
- The E-Troy Lite comes in four builds, 2 with SRAM wireless drivetrains and 2 with SRAM mechanical.
- Reviewers are impressed by how favorably this aluminum e-MTB’s low weight (42.99–45.19lb) compares to carbon peers.
- Testers say the slack head angle and MX wheels allow confident charging through rough descents.
- Reviewers enjoy tight tracks and cornering with the short rear end and 27.5” rear wheel.
- Experts praise the traction and comfortable seated position while climbing.
- Reviewers relish the Split Pivot suspension platform’s support and traction, and the way it soaks up hits in gnarly terrain.
- Testers enjoy the good control and how well the front wheel tracks, thanks to the low front end.
- Experts laud the E-Troy Lite's ability to maintain its composure while remaining agile when descending technical terrain.
- The included 4A charger can provide a full charge in 3.5 hours.
- Testers enjoy the stock output settings and natural power delivery of the lightweight Bosch Performance Line SX motor.

8 reasons not to buy
- The E-Troy Lite comes only in a mullet wheel configuration and has no geometry adjustments.
- Because the Bosch SX motor delivers more power at high cadences, experts riding at a lower cadence or in a high gear are left struggling.
- Citing the bike's weight, low front end, and raked-out fork, several reviewers feel it takes some effort to get this bike to play and catch air.
- A reviewer has to re-grease the pivots, and attributes this to the lack of seals on the inside of the linkage.
- A tester says the low front end causes them to feel like they're too far over the bars when tackling steep, rocky descents.
- An expert says the slack front end can lead to the front wheel running wide in tight corners.
- Some experts are unhappy with the results they get using Devinci’s suspension-setup guide.
- A tester experiences harsh bottom outs with the RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate, even after setting the shock up.
Bottom line
Devinci's E-Troy Lite is a lightweight, aluminum-frame e-MTB with a Bosch Performance Line SX drive system, available in four builds. The E-Troy Lite comes alive at high speeds and is most praised for its downhill prowess. Experts admire the reliability of the Bosch system and how its smooth power delivery enables climbing up loose and otherwise unachievable ascents, but it demands high pedal cadences. Other concerns are the small, non-removable 400Wh battery, geometry and fit issues, and suspension-adjustment woes. Also, this bike is mullet-wheel only. Overall, the E-Troy Lite is mostly seen as incredible value, given the price and specifications.
