SOLD OUT | SIGN UP FOR UPDATES ON THE NEXT BATCH
The Starling Cycles Roost. The bike that Hardtail Party said “corners like a dream!“.
A handbuilt, zingy stainless steel frame makes light work of rough and rowdy descents whilst mullet wheels bring that perfect balance of flick-knife and magnum.
It’s not a spindly XC whippet, it’s not a sickly ‘ardcore ‘ardtail. It’s a ride-wherever, ride-whatever, tough-as-nails stainless do-it-all that’s built to take on whatever you can throw it at.
But, bad news, it’s now completely sold out. The Roost will return in the future, updated to V2 with UDH and a whole heap of other updates.

Our bikes eliminate complexity.
They are the counter-argument to mountain biking’s obsession with ‘more’.
With more pivots and more space-age materials. More acronyms and more marketing bullshit. The misconception that more tech means more fun.
We make unapologetically simple bikes. We include only what’s necessary, nothing more. Zero marketing gimmicks and next-best-thing shithousery.
We’ve stripped away the bullshit and left tough, long-lasting, beautiful and hassle-free mountain bikes. Bikes made to ride, not polish and preen. Simple to ride and bags of fun.
But simple doesn’t mean basic, and it certainly isn’t easy. It takes a whole heap of experience, expertise, testing, refinement and raw passion to make bikes this good, and this simple.
