Deviate Highlander 140 MTB Frame with Marzocchi Shock

Deviate Highlander 140 MTB Frame with Marzocchi Shock

The ultimate one bike quiver

The Highlander 140, conceived and tested in the wild Highlands of Scotland, is an all-conquering warrior of a bike.

Designed from the ground-up with the sole focus of creating the world’s most capable trail bike. The Highlander 140 is as happy on all-day back-country epics as carving turns at the bike park.

The all-rounder nature of the Highlander 140 is carried forward with the balanced geometry, plenty of stand-over and the ability to run a super-long dropper defines the Highlander’s character as playful, composed, and most importantly, a confidence inspiring trail bike. This is a bike built to put a smile on your face wherever the trail takes you.

High Pivot Point

Deviate’s high pivot point, and the careful idler placement, mean the suspension performance on the Highlander is the best of all possible worlds. The rearward axle path lets the bike flow over rough terrain, and as the idler location controls anti-squat, the Highlander has negligible pedal kickback and a deliberate anti-squat curve which eliminates pedal induced suspension bob. The unique kinematics of a high pivot point design maintains chassis stability and geometry under heavy braking, meaning aggressive riding is rewarded.

Suspension Kinematics

The unique kinematics of a high pivot point design, with it’s rearward axle path and high anti-rise means that under heavy braking chassis stability and the geometry are maintained – this simply means that aggressive riding is rewarded. The sensation of “the bike not holding you back” is very real on the Highlander and you’ll find yourself hitting lines that you’d have previously reserved for your downhill bike (or imagination).
