This is Yoshimoto from Circles Tokyo!!
Have you all checked out this month’s blog series, "Anatomy of WILDE"? Following the great success of our WILDE test ride event this past spring, we have more exciting news to share with you all.
We are thrilled to announce a new event titled, "WILDE BIKES Summer Test Ride Campaign"!
With so many new models being released, many of you might be wondering which one to choose. To help you decide, at this event, we will be unveiling the complete "MEAN JEAN" build for the first time in Tokyo, a highly anticipated new model that didn't arrive in time for our last event. This is your chance to experience a ride feel and design unlike any other.
Test ride these unique models!
Here is a refresher on the models available for test rides.
We’ve included links to articles for each model, so please check them out if you haven't already.
・MEAN JEAN
The new WILDE "Mean Jean" is a pro-spec cyclocross racer compatible with both single-speed and geared setups. Its short chainstay provides agile handling and sharp acceleration, while its clearance for up to 700c x 44mm tires offers excellent traction even on rough gravel.
The design features a beautiful fade finish, and the carbon fork includes internal dynamo routing, making it ready for night rides. The Mean Jean is a bike suited not just for CX racing, but also for city commuting and riding on unpaved roads.

Available in size S (for riders 160cm and up)!
・Rambler SL
・Rambler
Did you know that the Rambler and Rambler SL differ not only in their forks, but also in their geometry? Because of this, even as siblings, they each possess distinct characteristics.
The difference between the segmental steel fork and the carbon fork also impacts trail and BB height. The Rambler is designed with a longer trail and higher BB height, giving it strong off-road capability and a tough, reliable feel. On the other hand, the Rambler SL has a slightly shorter trail and lower BB height, allowing for a nimbler ride.
Consequently, their ideal riding styles differ as well. The Rambler is perfect for bikepacking and long-distance touring, with its high ground clearance helping avoid obstacles and preventing gear from hitting the ground. In contrast, the Rambler SL is designed for gravel and long rides, offering comfortable performance that handles everything from pavement to gravel.

If you read this before the event, you’ll be able to enjoy and understand the differences in ride feel caused by the geometry even better!
Available in size S (160cm+) for the Rambler, and L (175cm+) for the SL!
・Supertramp
Despite its simple and rugged design, this model has received high praise from test riders for being "incredibly fun to ride" and "highly versatile." Specifically:
It is an all-terrain platform bike, great for bikepacking and trekking. It features modern geometry, uses the Boost standard, and offers nimble handling.
It provides a relaxed position suitable for long rides like month-long backcountry tours, and it excels in cargo capacity. With mounts to accommodate any rack, accessory, or bag you could need—even for simple everyday errands—this is a bike with infinite possibilities.
This article compares it to the SURLY Karate Monkey. Similar concepts, but actually quite different. Why not come experience the depth of bicycles for yourself?
Available in size M (170cm+)!
