There’s no substitute for a proper demo ride before you push the button on a new bike.

Starling Cycles offers demo ride options to make sure that your new dream bike is exactly what you’d imagined. A proper demo ride will help you double-check sizing, make sure the wheel size or travel is what you were expecting, and flush away any “should I have gone for the other version?” worries before you invest.

UK DEMO RIDES
Demo bikes are currently available from the Bristol workshop. Our postal demo option is not currently available.

INTERNATIONAL DEMO RIDES
Our various dealers around the world may also have demo bikes – contact them direct and they can discuss what’s available.

STARLING OWNERS COMMUNITY
You can also join the Starling Owners Group on Facebook and see if there are any local riders in your area that you can meet up with.

Get in touch and we can talk you through the options.

There’s no pressure or hard-selling, just a chance to properly try before you buy on the sort of terrain the bikes were designed for.
