Deviate Cycles are a Scottish manufacturer of high pivot mountain bikes. Here we share videos including latest releases, tutorials and collaborations.
ABOUT THE HIGH PIVOT SUSPENSION PLATFORM We firmly believe that high pivot designs offer the best, most capable suspension for most categories of mountain bike. Upon impact, the rear wheel moves slightly rearwards as well as upwards, allowing the rear wheel to take a smoother path over obstacles maintaining the bike’s forward momentum. In essence, in chunky terrain it allows the high pivot suspension design to out-perform other suspension systems with similar travel.

The one and only!! His comment back is "Haha!! Amazing! The guy behind that account was and still is an ACTUAL bmx legend tho, so that's made my day". You guyssssss
One of the most inspirational thing I have seen in a long time and the fact it was done by a 18 year old humbles me/1 good job mate you are going to go far in life with grit like that
Deviate sent me a new Dualco grease gun after I let them know that my first one wasn't able to push grease through both bottom ports on the linkage. The new gun struggles with the same port, as well as the rear-most one on the drive side. Do I need to take the whole linkage off and pull the seals to clean it out? Kinda frustrated to be spending so much effort on what should be a <5min service item
Hi @EgrayDET we're sorry to hear your having some issues with your linkage grease ports. If you could email info@deviatecycles.com outlining this we will be on hand to get to the bottom of this for you.
I had the same problem, can be fixed by cleaning out ports with isopropyl alcohol and a pick to loosen up the ports, especially if they arent regularly used.
I was brought up on Coulin estate, from 4 years old until almost 20 when I had to leave. The little hut you stopped at has always been called "The Teahouse". A stopping off point when we worked ponies into the hills during deer stalking time. The little burn in front of the hut is the Easan Dorcha, my brother and I fished American Brook Trout there as boys. Great memories. Thanks for the upload.😊
That trail has been on my bucket list for years. Also, the HT550 is not a gravel race, it is very much a mtb race despite the amount of gravel on the route. Most riders are riding hard tail mtb and more than a few are on full sus
It's a tough call as such a mix of terrain! instagram.com/headinthesky_mtb/ rode the whole thing on her Highlander II so very doable but would suggest it's down to personal preference!
Luv Torridon...and no one shows it off better than you Andrew...congrats to you and Louise exellent days riding 👍 I can't believe that Visit Scotland haven't employed your services to promote mtbing in Scotland ...long may you continue to showcase it 😊
Saw this very bike at Tweedlove today. Stunning artwork and bling - athough it was a tad muddy :D Looking forward to a Demo on a Highlander tomorrow too!
@@deviatecycles The demo was great if a bit limited due to fitness lol. I watched the video on the bike too and hadn't realised Dougie was actually the artist too! Was nice to get a close up look at it
There are guide cables installed in the factory to make for easy installation. It's pretty much impossible to install the foam without the actual dropper cable you're going to use.
Do you guys have that tool for the BB she’ll available to buy? Figure I am already gonna buy new linkage from yall and could tack that on the order if possible
Merino wool is your friend, it'll keep you warm even when it's wet. And please for the love of God get some waterproof clothing - anywhere in the UK is going to be wet a lot of the time, but Scotland is just colder and wetter than the rest (& the Highlands are usually the coldest and wettest part of Scotland). Wish I'd had this young man's fortitude back when I was his age, rather than now when I'm old and my body isn't up to the task anymore. Much respect to Mr Fairbrother (and wisdom gained I suspect). 😁
Which Nozzle, extension are you using? The long angled is needed for the lower link to rear triangle bolts and also the upper pivot bolt, which is recessed?
Who's filming the third person segments? Because if Matt is wasting time to set up a camera, only to ride by for the shot and then go back to fetch the camera, he's got loads of time to gain back.
Nice but why are you comparing your effort to the Kilians UTMB time? You did not do the UTMB course but went in the other direction. Yes you went around the mont blanc massif following the TMB tracks but it has nothing to do with Kilian and the UTMB time...
@@BenJones-sk8gz Having done the CCC I was at first surprised that I didnt recognize any climb then saw his track on Strava and realized he went the other way around. So how can he say constantly I was behind him xx minutes etc... comon he should have just done the UTMB. I'm intrigued to do it myself now haha
It's pretty well accepted that on an MTB it's better clockwise... This was not designed to be a direct comparison to a runner on the UTMB, there were several route changes versus the running UTMB route - made for the enjoyment of the ride.
Hi, question about the housing position inside the seat tube. I have a one-up dropper V2, and there is a very small place for the end of the housing to rest. Does the housing need to sit here or is it OK for the end of the housing to sit lower in the seat tube with bare cable extending up to the post's actuator mechanism? The second option would make it much easier to adjust seat post height once installed since it wouldn't require the inner housing to shift too, and it would also make installing the rubber grommet much easier. I guess the root of my question is: is the housing expected to remain fixed once the grommet is in? Its just hard to keep in place once its in
"essentially you want to use it as often as needed, once clean grease comes out of the seals you know it's good and all the dirt will be flushed out, this could be once a week or once every two months will be trial and error to find out how often you should do it."
