Video Analysis: Starling's Test Suggests Their Steel Frames Aren't Necessarily Flexier Than Carbon
What is the difference between the main pivot dia, width, and bearing size between the two bikes? Curious how much influence this has in relation to material choice of the rear end.

Field Test: Starling Murmur - The Steel Rock Crusher
To each their own, and yes. I own a Twist (mixed wheel version), and it's been my favorite fully in the last 20 yrs. About the same weight as a durable alloy frame, no negative flex noticeable, tons of grip, fun to ride, and it actually climbs reasonably well (very little bob). It's not an XC race bike, but wasn't purchased to be. Great bike.

@GlassGuy: Those trail problems you are describing - easily solved by a fun hardtail at half the price (or less). Lighter, less $, great for skill development, low maintenance, fun at slower speeds also, etc. Not for everyone but I know I will always have one in the stable.

@privateer-wheels: x2. Also Stylus & Monk setup. Your Stylus is one of my fav bikes on the web, of any kind. Nice work.

2020 Pinkbike Awards: Suspension Product of the Year Nominees
amazing how the fork that takes all the positive attributes and features from this 2020 list, and did it almost 2 years ago, wasn't even mentioned? 3 chamber air spring, stiffness to weight, adjustability, easy to service, etc.

@fartymarty: I was torn on which one to get between the two - Couldn't decide - so went with a Twist. Loving it.
