i asked Devinci CS about this did not get a reply as of now.
maybe somebody in here knows...

Will there be a XL Wilson for 2013?
if so when will it be available?

initially they only published the L geo for the carbon and the article on pinkbike only shows geo numbers up to size L
now the Devinci website states there is a XL, and
i remember reading somewhere that the XL got delayed...

appreciate any more detailed info, thanks :)

got a reply from devinci today sorta good and bad news:

Hi Martin,

Ne XL Wilson carbon will only become available late spring / early summer.
It was not originally planned but because of a lot of interest in the XL size we manage to get it … but a little later than the 3 other sizes.
For more information, you can contact your local dealer

Thanks for your support
Keep on riding!

look at it from there perspective. The upfront cost of tooling vs. how many XL carbon DH bikes that a little manufacture would sell...... some serious ROI numbers to crunch.

You are right with that, but their L Wilson is already on the compact side. Therefor I think also more avarage sized riders go the XL route.
Also: Why should I take the "disadvantage" of having to buy an aluminium frame only because of my size?

I guess if you dont like what a privatly held company does you have 2 options, 3 if you are zesty. Ask them to make you one and then hope they do and buy it, buy somone elses frame that fits you....... or create your own frame!

please people stop argueing, it's all been said and done already

devinci a company renowned for building rather compact bikes announce to build their carbon downhill bike only up to size L. This announcement sparks a lot of questions regarding an XL size.
Devinci reacts and starts development of the Size XL Frame

so enough people used option number two and asked for the XL
sadly the lead time to design and produce the frame will lead to a delivery date at the end of may or early june. :(

I contacted Devinci earlier this week and was told that the XL full carbon wilson will not be available this year. Really bummed...maybe/ hopefully miscommunication?
