Geometry
The Starling Mini Murmur is available in Medium, Medium Plus, Large, X Large and XXL.
Reach on the Large is 485mm with a seat tube of 440mm. Head tube angle is 66.2 degrees with an effective seat tube angle of 79.2 degrees. Chainstays are 445mm across the sizes with a wheelbase of 1260mm.
Starling Cycles’ range grows with the addition of the Mini Murmur. By use of a new adjustable shock mount and a 210 x 50mm shock, the Mini Murmur is designed to be a 120mm trail rocket. Sporting the Murmur DNA and showing the versatility of the platform, you get the same Reynolds 853 front triangle hand made in the UK, mated to an ORA-made Cro-Mo rear.
The Mini Murmur is UDH compatible and will be available in a frame-only or complete bike flavour. Frame minus the shock will come in at £2,150.00, add the DT Swiss R535 shock for £2,549.00 or go for the complete bike for £7,650.00.
The complete bike comes with DT Swiss air suspension front and rear, a F323 One 120mm fork and a DT Swiss R535 shock respectively. Drive is handled by Shimano’s XT 12-speed with the braking courtesy of Hope’s XCR 4-pots. Wheels are DT Swiss XMC 1501 in 29″. A Bike Yoke Divine dropper holds a Fizik Alpaca X5 saddle, with the finishing kit being Hope units, including a carbon crank.
Should you wish to swap fork and shock allowing you to convert the Mini to a full travel Murmur, Starling support this. You can even swap swingarms to convert the Mini to a Twist or Mega Murmur. All required components are available from Starling.
