Airdrop is now stocking VHS Slapper Tape from New Zealand. It's the best chainstay protection and sound-damping product we've found: it's clean, easy to install and it works.
Is this the best one yet? A limited edition Fade with matte-black powder-coat finish, chrome Profile cranks & sprocket, chrome decals, silver Pike DJ & silver Chromag finishing kit. Only ten will be built.
The latest in our Limited Edition series is the Edit v3 Deity: built with Boxxer Red Rockshox suspension, colour-coded Deity finishing kit and Stans Flow S1 wheels. Only 10 will be built.
We're seeing unprecedented demand for the Fade, and at the same time our suppliers are struggling to keep up. So from this point onwards we're going to be releasing a small drop of Fades on the first day of each month.
Four years ago we launched Airdrop Bikes with an edit we made with some mates in the local woods. A lot has changed since then but Clayspades still holds up...
KC is a staffer at Vertigo Bikes in Queenstown, our New Zealand distributor, and the latest to build a custom Edit v3. But probably the first to have a full air or coil setup to choose from...
Callum's a freelance sports & adventure photographer based in Queenstown, NZ. He's also a good friend. With a bit of help from Vertigo Bikes, we hooked him up with a sweet Edit v3 custom build.
Our friend Nush upgraded from a pretty sweet Edit v2 to an even sweeter Edit v3 this summer. We got the lowdown on the new bike and how the two bikes compare.
When Andy was in Queenstown he wanted to buy an Edit v3, but it didn't happen for one reason or another. Fast forward 6 months and he's back in the UK, working here full time. He's finally managed to get his bike together, exactly the way he wants it. Which is really what we want for every customer too. Andy's spec is a bit out of the ordinary, so it's definitely worth taking a closer look.
Duncan Philpott is a Sheffield local and a pro photographer on the EWS circuit. We lent him an Edit v3 to take out to Madeira for the 2019 race. Back home after a long season away, he's put a blog post together for us.
Airdrop is a small brand. A very small brand. Which is exactly how we want it to be; but we have big plans and we need a bit of help. That's where Andy comes in.
The Fade is back by popular demand - frames are due to arrive here on Friday. We've updated the specs on the Fade Works full build and there's a Fade To Black limited edition bike too. Here's the lowdown on everything that's new.
We're always working on stuff behind the scenes, and we'd like to share some of those stories with you. Some things work out, some things don't - but it's always interesting.
