To celebrate the launch of the new Starling Cycles Roost hardtail, we hit the road for Windhill Bike Park and challenged Boosted Bryn to show us what he can do!
Needless to say, Bryn sent the biggest jumps, drops and gaps and hammered the Roost down some rough and rowdy downhill trails for the camera. If you need a bit of an idea of what the Roost can do, this is it!
Great news Starling Spur fans – our big travel, big wheel, gearbox trail crusher just got some extra options.
The Spur was first built around 29″ wheels and 170mm travel. After a bit of experimenting, testing and refining we can now offer an alternative wheel size setup and travel option for the bike.
Alongside the classic 29″ / 170mm setup, we can now offer a 150mm travel version of the Spur and the option to run the bike as a mullet with a 27.5″ rear wheel.
The bike is available in all variations of the options so, if you so desired, you could build a 150mm 29’er or a mullet 170mm’er or a 170mm mullet … You get the idea.
And nope, the mullet version isn’t just a smaller back wheel shoved in the original frame. To accommodate the smaller back wheel we’ve built an entirely new swingarm for the Spur to make sure the geometry and suspension continue to work perfectly.
