No Joke: Starling Introduces The Dive, A 26-Inch Downhill Ripper
Briefly

The Starling Dive is a limited-edition 26-inch handmade steel bike, designed to evoke nostalgia for the golden age of cycling. Starling founder Joe McEwan aimed to honor the legacy of 26-inch wheels while incorporating modern bike technology. With only ten units being produced, the Dive emphasizes a longish travel and mini-downhill design, appealing to those who remember riding these setups in their youth. The design reflects a journey down memory lane, celebrating a simpler time in biking history.
We made it as a longish-travel, mini-downhill ripper,” Starling says. “We all grew up riding downhill, dirt jumps, and 4X on 26, so we wanted our revamp to revisit those vibes.
Starling Cycles says its Dive is a tribute to the wheels we were all rocking when CDs were still spun, when Steve Peat was World Champ.
