Starling Cycles Murmur Frame - Ferrari Red

Starling’s original, award-winning and bullshit-free steel mountain bike.

The Murmur is a tough-as-nails, race-winning, adventure-seeking, do-it-all single-pivot.

It has 29″ wheels, 135mm rear travel and our award-winning, bullshit-busting, handmade steel frame that made with Reynolds 853.

That perfect compliant steel ‘feel’ creates a one-of-a-kind ride feel that’ll handle everything from your local singletrack to your once-in-a-lifetime season in the mountains.

Just two bearings to maintain. Zero marketing gimmicks or next-best-thing shithousery.
