Our bikes 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.
We’re delivering Starling Cycles demo bikes direct to your doorstep to try on your local trails.
We’ll set the bike up for your weight and riding style before leaving Starling HQ, ship it to you and then you can try it for a full week.
One of the most common questions we’re asked is how to set up mountain bike suspension properly.
We’re evolving how we build our frames, to cut lead times and make it easier to buy.
