Meet the Upgraded Stargazer!

Boise, Idaho’s Tumbleweed Bicycle Co. has just upped the ante with its latest iteration of the Stargazer, a bike built for adventure enthusiasts and casual riders alike. Launched in 2021, the Stargazer has carved a niche for itself as the ultimate dropbar bikepacking companion, capable of tackling everything from grocery runs to the mountainous Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.

New Colors and Proven Performance!

This season, the Stargazer arrives in two eye-catching colors: the striking Light Brick Red and a classy Steel Blue. It’s no surprise that this model has secured its place as one of Tumbleweed’s best sellers, adored by bikepackers around the globe.

With multiple accolades under its belt from the Bikepacking Awards to being named Best in Class by The Radavist, the Stargazer has proven itself as a true standout.

"The Stargazer is probably our best all-arounder," says Tumbleweed’s founder, Daniel Molloy. "It accommodates a wide range of riding styles and functions superbly as a fully loaded touring bike, making it a beloved choice among cyclists."

What’s New in Generation 2?

Here’s what’s new and improved:

Despite these improvements, the heart of the Stargazer remains intact with its robust construction from oversized, multi-butted, heat-treated chromoly steel tubing.

The Gen 2 continues to support tires up to 29 x 2.6 inches and retains ample mounting points for racks, bottles, and storage.
