Deviate Cycles Announces the Claymore MX

PRESS RELEASE: Deviate Cycles

Mixed Wheels, Maximum Fun
Carve the way up front, let loose at the back with the all new Deviate Claymore MX.

Inspired by the medieval Scottish two-handed great sword, known for its strength and symbolism of the rugged Highlands, the Claymore embodies this legacy – crafted to conquer the world’s most challenging terrains. 

This long-travel high-pivot enduro bike has been given an injection of added playfulness with a reworked rear triangle, designed to accommodate a 27.5” wheel out back.

The Claymore MX is the first mullet to be added to our range, with the Highlander II MX launching in the coming months.

Rear Triangle vs Link Approach
Deviate Cycles lead-engineer and co-owner Chris Deverson explains why we have opted for a rear triangle rather than link solution:

We’ve found a balanced geometry for our bikes and keeping this consistent was fundamental to our approach. A link design puts the rear wheel in a different portion of the wheel path – therefore outside of the bounds of the optimal anti-squat – whilst a rear triangle switch allows us to keep the consistency whilst providing the added playfulness and manoeuvrability for those inside lines.- Chris Deverson
