After those Deviates, the Santa Cruz on the top of the page looks like most mundane bike ever
You know there’s something to be said for looking outside popular culture. Until it too is appropriated in to popular culture. It’s a never ending search for the next outlandish item. It truly eats up my time.
it is good to support the small brands. all successful brands were once little and fighting for a place after all
I couldn’t agree more. It’s funny when I ordered my frame from Deviate I searched and search and there were very few builds out there. Now months after I come here and it’s a highlander fest. I love it. They are a great company and make a beautiful product. They deserve huge successes.
2020 Remedy 8 with Cascade Components linkage and a 170mm Lyric RC2
I've always had a spot in my heart for remedys. Never owned one, but the first actual mtb I tried was a 2016 remedy, and it was just a beautiful bike that felt so good. I love the look of it, great job on the build.
Nice remedy as well. Would you consider getting the cascade link anodised black?
I actually ordered black and swapped to raw, it is a work of art! showing it off!

This is my second remedy, likely not my last. I absolutely love it, highly recommend them as a do it all bike!

My buddy has a 19 remedy. How do you like the cascade link? Was it a noticeable difference?
Honestly haven't ridden it much yet, but i am stoked for the increased leverage curve..I was pushing limits last year without adding tokens, etc, but running a higher than normal pressure for big hits. This should help me see some improvement there, and it add 5-6mm travel, yahoo!

My ~7month old aussie shepherd, she's a handful! also have an ~8 yo aussie/collie male that is a great trail dog, hopefully my little one continues to follow his lead!

My dad’s absolutely loved every single one of his Treks he’s had, he started with a 2012 ex-demo 8, Slash 8 from 2013/14, that got stolen then he got a 2017 Remedy 8, he sold that then bought one of the newer model 8’s that came in the full Miami green colourway. Every single one I rode performed amazingly, they’re so planted yet they still feel super playful, I can see why Trek modelled their Slope bike after the Remedy! Never ever heard of an aftermarket linkage for one though, looks so slick with the silver and red forks, I’m usually no a fan of all black bikes(funny coming a guy with an all black bike himself lol) but it’s so nice with the little touches of colour you’ve got going on there, if anything I reckon some white or chrome Trek logos would look braw on there too.
