The Fade Core is our new build for 2025. We've packed everything we've learned into one incredible bike. The Fade v2 frame is light, fast and incredibly responsive, with geometry that's proven at every level from Crankworx your local pumptrack. It's a super-clean design with integrated CNC chain tensioners keeping everything in check. The build features all the nicest kit out there. Up front we have a Pike DJ 100mm fork which delivers strength, stiffness and a Charger damper. The wheelset is our own Bank DJ 26" with ultra-fast Motive singlespeed hubs and Bank rims, built in the UK. Everything is finished off with Burgtec bars, stem, saddle and seatpost plus Maxxis DTH tyres.
The Regular size is ideal for smaller or younger riders, tighter tracks & more technical tricks. Long is a better choice for taller riders and bigger, faster jumps. Both sizes have super low standover, and they're light.
Customisation options include a brushed alloy head-badge in black or silver, four powder-coat finishes, ten decal colours, two fork colours, bar rise & width, and brake orientation. So we can build you a Fade exactly how you want it.

As with all our bikes, sizing advice is based on rider height, but the Fade is a little different. All sizes have the same seat-tube length, which means you can choose your size based on the reach dimension alone. The length of a DJ bike is a question of personal preference; for tighter tracks or more tech riding, consider a Regular. For bigger, faster jumps, consider a Long.
