Samenvatting

The Deviate Highlander is a versatile trail bike praised for its exceptional technical climbing capability, smooth suspension performance, and modern geometry. It excels in rough terrain, offering stability and comfort, though some note it requires time to master its high-pivot design. The bike is compared favorably to models like the Forbidden Druid and Norco Sight C2, highlighting its all-round radness and capability in technical and chunky trails.

Pros
  • Exceptional technical climbing capability

  • Smooth and stable suspension performance

  • Modern geometry with practical design features

  • Versatile and capable on diverse terrains

  • High-pivot design for improved traction and comfort

Cons

Deviate Highlander II Pro Build 0 - High pivot goodness meets all-round radness

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.
