Deviate Highlander II FAQ
No, the bike and all the parts arrive unassembled and require a full build.
We suggest around 30% for most riders, but this will vary depending on terrain and personal preference.
No - a standard 126 link chain will work with even a 12 speed Shimano or Sram set-up.
ZS44/28.6 upper and a ZS56/40 lower headset cup.
Absolutely. We have two lower ISCG-05 tabs which allow the use of a lower guide/bash.
The Highlander 2 is not designed to work with 27.5” or 27.5”+ wheels. It is designed for 29” wheels.
We suggest a 160mm fork with a 44mm offset. A 51mm offset is compatible and will lead to a slightly more lively steering feel.
The Highlander 2 will work with most air shocks on the market - we recommend a mid-mid initial tune. We can’t guarantee that a specific shock will have clearance. The shocks available on our online store are all compatible. Please note that shocks with rear rebound adjustment may be problematic to adjust.

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."
