Starling’s long-travel, long-wheelbase 29”. The Murmur, made Mega.
The Mega Murmur is our tough-as-nails, hard-charging single-pivot.
It has 29″ wheels, 165mm rear travel and our award-winning, bullshit-busting, handmade steel frame that’s made with Reynolds 853.
Unique to the Mega is our UK-made swingarm that’s 10mm longer than usual. It’s made to fit taller riders better and create a more stable wheelbase at higher speeds and on rougher terrain.
That long swing arm and the perfect compliant steel ‘feel’ creates a one-of-a-kind ride feel that’ll that’ll crush the roughest and rowdiest terrain, from your local bike park to the Enduro World Cup to the Mega Avalanche
Just two bearings to maintain. Zero marketing gimmicks or next-best-thing shithousery.

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.
Our full suspension frames are made using high-end, recycled steel. They have a smart and simple adjustable shock mount to vary travel. They have an aluminium seat-post insert to eliminate stuck seat posts. There’s a tough-as-nails anti-flare headtube, a neatly integrated chain guide, a machined main pivot piece that’s strong, stiff and easy to maintain. And they have SRAM UDH hangers, of course.
And to give you the confidence you need, our frames are covered by our 7-year warranty and crash replacement service. They can be repaired, refurbished, repainted and often upgraded to keep them charging hard for years to come.
Starling Cycles are made by real flesh-and-blood humans. The perfect blend of precision and passion.
Our frames are hand-crafted with quality, lightweight steel for an unmistakable feel and undeniable speed.
Our single-pivot suspension design eliminates complexity. A blast to ride and a breeze to maintain.
