The Fade is 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. It's light, agile and easy to get on the back wheel. Geometry is tight & snappy but still long enough that you're comfortable going big on it. A mountain biker's dirt jump bike.
The classic Airdrop finish. Hand-brushed alloy with a clear matte powder coat to keep it looking fresh. Every one is a bit different, but they're all sick.
Always bet on black. An 80% matte black powder coat finish that's as tough as old boots, but looks a lot nicer.
You asked, we delivered. Dippy Egg started as a half-joke on instagram but has become a popular reality. 80% matte powder coat finish.
If you know, you know. Purple Haze is a semi-matte, semi-metallic powder coat finish that's unique to the Airdrop Fade.
We design our frames in-house, then have them manufactured in small batches in one of Taiwan's finest factories. We then build every bike to order in our Sheffield workshop. That's one of the many perks of buying a bike from a small and independent brand; your bike hasn't been churned out on a production line. Every step of the process has been done by a skilled engineer, by hand.
When you place your order, you'll have the opportunity to fine-tune many aspects of the build. That means you get to make the big decisions about how you want your bike to be built, and we get it right first time.
The Fade is available as a frame-only option, enabling you to build your own bike exactly how you want it. The frame comes with integrated chain tensioners, alloy head badge and CNC seat clamp included.
