Any Trail, Any Time
We’ve taken what we think is the best high-pivot trail bike on the market, and made it even better. A 65-degree head angle with a 160mm fork is steep enough to be nimble in the sketchiest of woodsy descents, but slack enough for stability when you break out of the trees into a steep, warp-factor-nine trail. The reach is perfect for comfort when climbing, and roomy enough for flat out descending with ultimate control. Standover is enormous, and the continuous seat tube accommodates the longest dropper posts on the market. And the Highlander II is also available in 4 sizes, from Small to X-Large, to suit a wide range of riders.

Dispatch Details
We aim to have your full build dispatched within two weeks, subject to order volume.
Other Deviate Highlander 2 models are available for demo from the heart of Edinburgh ready to take on the Scottish mountain biking trails.
Deviate Cycles have modified a standard Dualco grease gun by changing the nozzle shape (not pictured) to make accessing the grease ports on Deviate Cycles bicycles easier..
We sell grease to suit these grease guns, and these are also recommended for use on Deviate frames.
