The Ultimate Trail Bike, Evolved
This is the Highlander II 2023 model - our all-carbon, all-conquering trail bike. A bike for bike park laps, all day rides, messing about in the woods and everything in between.

FAQs
-
IS IT UDH COMPATIBLE?
-
The Highlander II 2023 model is not UDH compatible. Our 2024 model is UDH compatible and can be found here .
-
-
HOW MUCH SAG SHOULD I RUN?
-
We suggest around 30% for most riders, but this will vary depending on terrain and personal preference.
-
-
DO I NEED TO JOIN CHAINS?
-
No - a standard 126 link chain will work with even a 12 speed Shimano or Sram set-up.
-
-
WHAT HEADSET DO I NEED?
-
ZS44/28.6 upper and a ZS56/40 lower headset cup.
-
-
CAN I MOUNT A CHAINGUIDE TO THE HIGHLANDER II?
-
Absolutely. We have two lower ISCG-05 tabs which allow the use of a lower guide/bash.
-
-
CAN I FIT 27.5” WHEELS TO THE HIGHLANDER II?
-
The Highlander II is not designed to work with 27.5” or 27.5”+ wheels. It is designed for 29” wheels.
-
-
WHAT FORK WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
-
We suggest a 160mm fork with a 44mm offset. A 51mm offset is compatible and will lead to a slightly more lively steering feel.
-
-
WHAT CHAINRING SIZE SHOULD I USE?
-
Anything from 28t to 36t will work great depending on how steep your hills are!
-
-
CAN I USE AN OVAL CHAINRING?
-
Technically, yes - however, you’d need a crankset and chainring combination that can be “clocked” to account for the idler wheel. This process will require some experimentation and as such we cannot offer support on installation.
-
-
WHAT IS IN THE BOX?
-
In the box along with the frameset and Öhlins TTX2AIR Shock we’ll also include a rear axle (with a non-compressible sheath fitted for transit). There will be a mech hanger and idler wheel installed on the frame as well as a seat collar. If you’ve bought a shock from us too, then the shock will be installed.
