Deviate Highlander II is pleasantly surprising. It’s a fantastic trail bike that’s easy to get to grips with and have a great day aboard. Brand: Deviate Cycles Product: Highlander II Price: £2,999 …
Jul 2024
The Deviate Highlander II is a mid-travel trail bike that dons everything you would expect from the brand; its high-pivot, linkage-driven single-pivot suspension layout and the UK friendly features make it simple to live with. The brand's claims of versatility ring true as it’s forgiving when red-lining through the harshest terrain but it’s friendly and plenty fun when not slapping rocks at warp speed. However, it’s a bike that needs learning, time and experience to get the most out of it.

An impressive jack-of-all-trades that smoothes out even the roughest trails with confidence
Excellent pedalling efficiency
Balanced descending and climbing riding positions
Impressive suspension performance
Fork and shock damper support
Vittoria tyre casings feel harsh and compound lacks grip
Head angle needs to be slacker to meet performance potential

Like its predecessor, the new 2023 Deviate Highlander 2 features a high-pivot linkage and elegant frame silhouette. But how does it fare on the trail?
Wide range of applications
Sensitive rear suspension generates tons of grip
Direct, agile handling
Loud rattling noise
Front end has to be actively loaded to generate traction in corners
