Description
Ride around the fields and mountains with ease! WILDE's Thinking MTB
Dark Star / Dark Star is a premium steel trail-oriented hardtail bike with sliding dropouts. The geometry is playful yet fast and fun, and is compatible with 120mm or 130mm travel suspension forks.
The aggressive trail geometry combines speed and playfulness for comfortable pedaling and aggressive riding.
WILDE BICYCLE CO. / Wilde Bicycle's ideal is to have everyone who buys a Dark Star or other hardtail frame also get a Future Proof Fork. It would solve the consumption-oriented idea that MTB standards change so quickly that new MTBs will be "obsolete" in 5 years.
[BOSS Super Tubes]
BOSS Super Tubes are very high quality extruded seamless steel tubes with air hardening technology developed exclusively for WILDE.
There are many levels of tubing, but this is the next step in building a great steel bike. By not being bound to off-the-shelf tubing, we have the freedom to design and manufacture the best tubing size, thickness, and butted profiles for each application, allowing us to maximize strength and light weight, as well as innovative and technically superior frame design.
On the Dark Star, the bottom of each of the top and down tubes where they meet the head tube is thicker, eliminating the gussets at the joints. This reduces the overall weight of the frame.
