Again in April of this yr, I wrote a information story introducing the brand new Wilde Cycles Rambler SL. It was a narrative that acquired fairly a little bit of consideration. Inside that story, I discussed that the Rambler would quickly be coming with a cool, segmented metal fork – the non “SL” model
It’s right here, and the fork is fairly sick in all its segmented, metal glory. Plus Wilde is providing this new Rambler frameset constructed up full with a 1x SRAM Apex group, with a set of stable DT Swiss G 1800 Wheels for less than $2300.
That is their most inexpensive full bike providing but.
The Wilde Rambler is a totally fashionable adaptation of the style that may run disc brakes, thru-axles, and generous-sized tires. It sports activities all the mounting factors you’d count on, with a geometry that Wilde says is “nimble and comfy for lengthy days within the saddle”.
This new Rambler, like all of Wilde’s bikes, makes use of a taller stack peak, following their philosophy that “snug is quicker”. This can be a manufacturing bike, that means that is ready to be supplied at a extra inexpensive worth level. It’s manufactured in Taiwan’s massively common Maxway manufacturing unit.
The brand new metal fork carries a barely longer axle-to-crown measurement than Wilde’s Wayfinder carbon fork giving the bike a bit increased path quantity and barely elevated backside bracket. This shall be welcomed by those who select to take the Rambler on more difficult off-road terrain or are operating it with a 650b wheelset.
The body and fork are constructed with Wilde’s proprietary TLC (Powerful, Gentle, Compliant) metal tubing, deciding on a dimension/mannequin particular, optimum mix of tubing diameters, wall thicknesses, and butting profiles to yield a body that Wilde says is constructed to final, as gentle as sensible, and comfy for the rider.
With a reasonably paint coloration referred to as Ocean Sparkle “which adjustments coloration from inexperienced to blue within the solar”. The brand new Rambler is certain to be a head-turner. the body and fork are additionally phosphate-dipped and E.D. Coated.
In inventory and able to ship instantly, The Wilde Rambler is anticipated to be their hottest mannequin together with being an incredible addition to their present choices.
