Starling Cycles Supported riders

We talk a lot about engineering, design and the technical details of building bikes. But, at the end of the day, it’s all about the end result… the act of riding a mountain bike, fast.

The riders listed here are supported by Starling Cycles. They’re our test-pilots, the stars of our photoshoots and the guys we trust to represent our name.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to ride for Starling, you can get it in touch via our contact page.

Our riders

Boosted Bryn

AKA Reece Richards. Bryn is a two-wheeled dirtbag from Bristol with a mad-passion for bikes and heaps of talent.

You’ll find him at Belmont sending dirt jumps or on Youtube in one of his shredits.

Rides: Starling Swoop / Sturn 

Joe Varndell

Fast, talented and just 16 years old. Joe caught our eye after a won a load of races on his Murmur and we knew we had to have him on the team.

You’ll find him on the podium at a heap of British enduro events!

Rides: Starling Mega Twist

HâF LAND

Hâf is fast, funny and fantastic. She’s a one-off, mould-breaker that can podium at a UK national race, but also shred on skis and hold her own in big, snowy, Scottish mountains. It’s pronounced “Harve” btw.

James whitby

One-Foot-Whitby is a real legend. He’s National 4X champ, he absolutely shreds through the jumps, he’s the king of whips and nacs nacs. Oh, and he’s also a dad and works full-time fixing ebikes. Love it.

Marvin Molitor

Marvin is our fast German dude. He’s fast, he’s stylish and he’s super positive – unless it’s about social media, cos he’s given that up. Catch him at Gath Bikes in Heppenheim.

Rides: Starling Mega Murmur

fleur ter kuile

Fleur used to race boats round the world, now she’s a bike park medic, a trainee paramedic and an absolute lunatic on two wheels. 

You’ll find her ripping turns in South Wales and blasting the blues-and-twos round the South West in her ambulance.
