Highlander 140mm

Deviate has taken the unparalleled suspension action, gloriously sleek design, and sweet spot geometry of the Highlander 140 to make it the ultimate all mountain bike. Packing 140mm of rear travel with the option of a 140mm, 150mm or 160mm fork up front. The Highlander 140 is designed to be the world’s most capable do it all trail bike, as happy on all-day back-country epics as carving turns at the bike park. The Highlander 140 shifts the focus a little – with a little less travel but geometry that is more suited for an all day pedal you can really get the ultimate backcountry setup with the Highlander 140.

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.

One bike - two flavors

Utilizing the same front & rear triangle, you can have the option to switch between the Highlander 140 or 150 with the swap of some suspension linkages. While its not a quick swap, it could mean the different between an all mountain slayer and something that works better for those big bike park days.
