Wilde Rambler SL Bike

For those with an unquenchable thirst for adventure and exploration, the Wilde Rambler SL Bike is an enticing proposition. The Rambler continues the legacy of the versatile drop bar all-arounder, a bike designed to be your reliable companion whether you’re tackling gravel centuries, zipping through quick road loops, embarking on light touring, or simply navigating the B-roads and daily commutes. With its modern design and robust construction, the Rambler SL invites you to explore the vast world around you with confidence and style.

The Rambler SL Bike from Wilde (from £1186) is a fully modernized take on the classic all-arounder, integrating disc brakes, thru axles, and generous tyre clearance into its sleek design. This bike is not just about performance; it’s about versatility. The Rambler is built to handle a wide range of terrains and challenges, making it the perfect bike for those who refuse to be confined to just one type of riding. The frame is equipped with all the mounts you could possibly need, allowing you to customize and outfit your bike for any adventure.

One of the standout features of the Rambler SL is its geometry. Designed with long-distance comfort in mind, Wilde has ensured that the bike provides a higher stack height, which translates to a more comfortable ride, especially on epic gravel rides. The quick-handling front end keeps things lively and responsive, while the slightly lowered bottom bracket height and 438mm long chainstays enhance stability and confidence, particularly when descending over loose terrain.

The Rambler SL is available at a more accessible price point, thanks to Wilde’s partnership with Taiwan’s renowned Maxway factory. Despite being a production bike, it doesn’t compromise on quality or features. The bike is offered in four sizes and is paired with Wilde’s Wayfinder carbon fork, which not only reduces weight but also enhances the bike’s handling and comfort.

Key features include three-pack mounts on the top and bottom of the down tube, bottle bosses on the seat tube, and a top tube feedbag mount. The frame is compatible with both 2x and 1x drivetrains, providing flexibility depending on your riding needs. The Wayfinder fork adds to the Rambler SL’s appeal with three-pack mounts, internal brake and dynamo routing, and fender mounts, all while maintaining clearance for up to 700c x 2.1″ or 650b x 2.3″ tyres.

Whether you’re racing across gravel, embarking on a multi-day tour, or just enjoying a spirited ride, the Wilde Rambler SL is the perfect bike to take you there and beyond. Its balance of comfort, performance, and versatility makes it an essential addition to any rider’s arsenal. A mighty classy steed from the guys at Wilde.
