Unfair fight? Is it because the RMX has a way better rearshock?

-Cause I like the Devinci's 215mm Travel via 9.5x3.0 shock, Headangle, and that its made here in Quebec.

The Devinci looks cheap compared to the RMX in terms of parts, but the geo does look better. How much would those cost? What are some other bikes in your pricepoint? Those look like OK options, but neither would be my first choice.

The Devinci handles and brakes much better than the RMX, the parts spec is just crappy. Go the next step up to the Ollie or whatever it is called now. I would definitely take a Devinci over a RMX.

I was very impressed when I tested the RMX. But I would say unless your getting a steal of a deal, there are much better bikes for the price. I would think you could get a Sunday instead.

Just a back up bike for DH shuttle runs for when my main bike is in the shop, or too expensive to repair immediatly. also a bike that I can lend to friends so I have company on my rides.
