This ,000 Titanium MTB Has No Gears or Suspension, but I’m Drooling Over It

Scared of growing up? Well, now you can stay a kid forever with this very rare and very cool titanium Klunker. Stinner teased this gem of a bike (and a prototype full suspension bike) at MADE 2025 and is finally pulling back the curtain. The Klunker is a limited-edition offering that is designed and fabricated at the Stinner HQ in Santa Barbara, California, and is truly a rare breed. Only 20 complete bikes will be produced. One size fits most. And never to be made again.

Klunking ain’t easy, and this one ain’t cheap.

Harkening back to the simpler times of coaster brakes and one perfect gear, the Stinner Klunker is a declaration that bikes are supposed to be fun. Which raises makes me wonder if the average, modern mountain biker takes themselves too seriously and has it too easy. I don’t think so. But the simplicity and vibe of this Klunker has be itching to do more underbiking this winter.

The frame and fork are hand-fabricated in-house from straight-gauge titanium, which offers a delightful ride quality that will last a lifetime of skids, curb hops, and beer runs. The build kit features only the best US-made components from legendary brands. The White Industries hub, Thomson stem, Velocity rims, and S&M bars and cranks all come together to make a seriously deluxe yet simple machine.

While the frame will last a lifetime, the availability of the bikes won’t. The order window opens on Thursday, Dec 4th, with 20 production slots available for the lucky few who want to own a piece of modern history. Each deposit will receive a special Stinner Token, commemorating the Klunker as a holiday placeholder till the complete bike arrives in spring 2026.
