Deviate Kurgan Factory Full Build 2026
The leverage ratio is the ratio between the distance the rear wheel moves vs. the distance the shock moves as the suspension cycles.
The Kurgan has a higher starting rate to help with beginning to mid stroke suppleness. The mid stroke is progressive, providing strong support for better cornering and pumping to ensure a lively poppy feel. The end stroke remains progressive and predictable to prevent suspension spiking and prevent harsh bottom outs.
Axle path is the line the rear axle takes as the suspension moves, measured relative to the main frame.
The Kurgan’s axle path to is entirely rearward for all 165mm of travel. At 30% sag, the rear wheel moves 15mm rearward relative to the bb. It moves rearward a total of 29mm and moves rearward most during the first half of the travel to reduce feedback to the rider and help to maintain speed over small-medium sized bumps.
Anti-squat is the suspension’s mechanical resistance to compression due to pedalling forces from the rider.
The Kurgan’s anti squat is around 127% at sag (36x50t) to ensure great support and traction when pedalling.
Anti-rise is how much the bike resists the rear-end rise that occurs when we pull the brakes.
The Kurgan’s anti-rise % is balanced with high in the beginning stroke to allow some squat when braking. This helps the bike maintain its geometry, providing a consistent rider position and resulting in plenty of pressure through the tyre to maintain traction when braking hard. Anti- rise then falls off deeper in the travel to allow more suspension movement when taking bigger hits under braking.

Let the Kurgan run on more open, rocky terrain, and it comes alive. The suspension shines on really chunky rocks… at high speeds it's stable and surefooted, with loads of grip and composure.
-Seb Stott
Even on the sketchiest of steep, janky, loose, rooty, utterly brilliant tracks I rode on-sight. All good. No heart-in-mouth panics. No brown trousers. Just joy and adrenaline.

Stable and composed on steep, gnarly tracks… an effective and accomplished winch.

Why High-Pivot?
The Deviate high pivot point suspension systems provide a smoother, more confidence-inspiring ride by minimising pedal kickback and maintaining momentum over rough terrain. The rearward axle path effectively absorbs square-edge impacts, preserving speed and control, while geometry conservation under braking ensures stability and keeps the rider in the ideal position for tackling challenging obstacles.
