The New Airdrop Fade Dirt Jump Bike

The New Airdrop Fade Dirt Jump Bike

Airdrop Bikes (United Kingdom) - Press Release: Introducing the Airdrop Fade.

Two wheels, one gear, zero BS. The Fade is a dirt jump bike in its rawest, purest form.

The original idea behind the Fade was for it to be a proper dirt jump bike. A bike that inspires you to push harder at the pump track, begs you to throw shapes at the skatepark and loves getting sideways at the trails.

The Fade dirt jump frame gets the Airdrop Works treatment: Pikes, Burgtec, Halo.

We say that the Fade is a dirt jump frame in it's rawest, purest form. It's not an extra-small version of something else. It's not a bike that's designed to be versatile. It's a legitimate dirt jump & pump track platform, pure and simple. The Fade Works bike builds on that ethos with a spec-list worthy of any top-end DJ bike (and better than most).

Up front you have the benchmark Rockshox Pike DJ, the fork you'll see on most bikes at Crankworx. The wheel set is the Halo Chaos DJ 26" rim on black DJ hubs, single speed rear with 11-tooth mini thread-on cog. That's matched up to a pair of Halo H-Block tanwalls which are fast rolling in the centre with a bit more tread on the sides for when you get it leaned over. You get a 28-11 gear ratio with a 28 tooth direct-mount chainring on super strong Descendant 6k cranks.

Finishing kit comes courtesy of our friends at Burgtec. A Mk2 Enduro stem is paired up with the bombproof Ridewide alloy bar running extra wide Demolition Axe push-ons, and the saddle is a Burgtec The Cloud.

The Fade's geometry is tight & snappy with a super-short rear end, but enough reach to mean it's comfortable for anyone used to riding a modern trail bike. The Works build is ready for whatever you can throw at it: trails, park, pump, street... It's a crowd pleaser.
