WILDE BICYCLE Heighliner Frame Set - Marbled Green

The ultimate gravel bike imaginable today

The very first prototype Jeff built under the WILDE BICYCLE brand was the Earthship, a titanium gravel model from the USA Handmade line. Building on that foundation, the Heighliner was refined to become the most modern bike imaginable today, meticulously designed to maximize the enjoyment of gravel riding.

Featuring ultra-lightweight double-butted titanium tubing, full internal cable routing designed exclusively for electronic drivetrains, a T47 bottom bracket with UDH-compatible dropouts, and tire clearance for 29x2.25" tires.

Jeff himself says, “This might be the most fun bike I’ve ever ridden.” The moment you straddle it, you feel invincible; on unpaved trails, nothing can stop you, and it responds directly to every pedal stroke.

Actually, Jeff himself was skeptical of the big-tire trend, but it delivers phenomenal performance on unpaved roads and allows for high-speed riding on paved roads as well.While more and more gravel bikes are becoming overly specialized for straight-line performance at the expense of cornering ability, this bike is agile yet playful—a bike you’ll want to ride over and over again.

Why titanium? The first titanium Earthship built by WILDE became the prototype for all subsequent WILDE gravel bikes.

The ride quality of a high-end titanium frame is truly sublime, and it also achieves significant weight savings. Like WILDE’s other steel production models, the Heighliner keeps costs significantly lower than those of American-made titanium custom models, making it possible for more riders to experience the excellence of a titanium frame.

The name “Heighliner” comes from “Dune.” In the story, the Heighliner is a large spaceship used by the Guild to transport people and supplies; it was named for its ability to warp space and travel long distances. Literally, this is a bike that can keep moving forward as if warping space itself.
