Vital Test Sessions - Deviate Claymore

Deviate is a brand from Scotland that has been developing its unique high-pivot platforms since 2016. Founded with the mission to create a better bike with a design far from the norm, Deviate's inaugural bike, the Guide, was born. Centered around a high-pivot platform, 12-speed Pinion gearbox, and available only in carbon, the Guide was the foundation for all future Deviate models.

Fast forward six years to the launch of the Claymore in 2022, Deviate's first push into the Enduro category and their third bike design as a company. Receiving high praise early on, the Claymore has gained a lot of traction with the recent growth in the popularity of high-pivot bikes and is proving to be something special in the world of Enduro bikes.

We stayed right at the base of the mountain, courtesy of Visit Big Bear, and couldn't have asked for a more convenient way to spend the week testing bikes. With our condo less than a minute from the Snow Summit village, we could easily head back to our unit between laps and had plenty of space to work on our bikes.
