UK-based bicycle manufacturer Pashley has launched the Wildfinder, the latest addition to its ‘Finder’ collection of bikes. The new bike is designed for all-terrain, all-weather, and all-year adventure riding.
The bike’s frame is hand-crafted using Reynolds 853 DZB tubing, with geometry designed for comfort and control over long distances. The frame is supplied with Pashley’s own in-house manufactured Reynolds 853 bladed rigid fork.
Andy Smallwood, CEO of Pashley, said “The Wildfinder is the true expression of a bike designed to facilitate the desire to ride way beyond the everyday.
“The rugged Wildfinder will take you around the world, into the wilderness or on your own out-of-bounds weekend adventure. Joining our critically acclaimed Roadfinder and Pathfinder models, it’s the latest example of true British design and craftsmanship.”
Mark Lloyd, Pashley Project Design Lead, describes the Wildfinder as a ‘drop-bar mountain bike’, blurring the lines between gravel and mountain bike genres. He notes that the bike is primarily designed as a capable machine for long-distance, multi-day off-road bikepacking expeditions.
The Wildfinder frame is equipped with multiple mounting points for bags, cages, and racks. The company notes that the Reynolds 853 frame has been fully e-coated for corrosion protection, then hand powder coated for a durable finish.
The Wildfinder is available in five sizes (XS, S, M, L & XL) and in two standard colourways – Ember and Tempest. A number of recommended builds are available:
