The Rambler continues a fine tradition in cycling... the drop bar all-arounder! It's capable of gravel centuries, quick road loops, light touring, b-roads, and of course daily life. The Rambler is a fully modern adaptation of the genre with disc brakes, thru axles and generous tire clearance. The world is vast and so are the possibilities, the Rambler invites you to fully explore them all. 

It has all the mounts a rider could want, and geometry that is quick and fun while still being comfortable for long days in the saddle. As with all Wilde's, we build our bikes with higher stack heights and believe that when it comes to long distance pursuits, such as gravel, that comfortable is fast. 

Being a production bike, we are able to offer the Rambler SL at a more affordable price through our partnership with Taiwan's legendary Maxway factory. It comes in four sizes and this SL (Super Light) version is paired with our Wayfinder carbon fork. 

You’ll find a full suite of features that include:

GEOMETRY
Gravel race geometry with all-day comfort as the priority.  A quick handling front end keeps things sporty while a slightly lowered bottom bracket height and 438mm long chainstays provide increased confidence when descending quickly over loose terrain and smooth out the ride. 

TUBING: Wilde TLC - Tough, Light, Compliant
Our own proprietary double-butted, chromoly tube set. TLC stands for tough, light, and compliant which are the characteristics we select for. On each model and size, we select the optimum blend of tubing diameters, wall thickness, and butting profiles to yield a frame that is built to last, as light as practical, and exceedingly comfortable for the rider.
