Bikes
Frames
Airdrop frames re designed in the UK and they're the core of what we do here. We have always offered frame options as well as full builds, because we know that our customers want the freedom to build their own dream bikes. It's part of the creativity and individualism at the heart of the sport. We cover dirt jump, trail, all-mountain and downhill with our frame range.
Airdrop Frames FAQ
-
Although we always offer a frame and a bike option, the frames come with a shock. Usually a choice of shocks. We don't sell frames without shocks, however.
-
The website is set up to enable you to buy various optional extras with your frame, including headsets, pedals and forks. If you want anything on to of that, it's best to contact us and we'll be happy to help.
-
Although frames don't require as much assembly as full bikes, they still go through our build queue. We're not simply 'shifting boxes' here. Every frame gets a final QC check, head badge, decals, seat clamp, axle, UDH, cable guides and shock installed by hand.
-
That depends on how busy we are, but its typically 1-2 weeks. For more specific information, check the 'estimated build date' on the product page, just below the price.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, various Cycle To Work schemes and V12 Retail Finance (subject to status, uk residents only)
The Airdrop Frames Range
All Airdrop frames are designed in-house in Sheffield, and developed by our team with feedback from our sponsored riders. Every frame we do started from a desire from one or all of us to ride that bike: we build the bikes we want to ride. That might sound obvious but it's unusual, and something we can only do because we're a small, independent brand. None of these frames exist just because they can. They all have a clear purpose and for Airdrop customers, they are exactly the thing that they need.
The Fade is a dedicated singlespeed dirt jump platform with horizontal dropouts and integrated chain tensioners. Built around 26" wheels, it's light, with compact geometry designed for maximum fun and creativity on jumps.
The Filter MX is the second generation of our trail bike design. An all-alloy frame with custom-butted tubeset is built around a CNC-machined one-piece rocker that delivers 141mm rear wheel travel. It's designed specifically for a mullet wheel setup, offering the best combination of rollover speed up front and maneuverability out back.
The Edit 27.5 is a dedicated 27.5" wheeled version of the Edit, now in it's fifth generation of development. Like it's big brother, the Edit MX, it has 161mm rear wheel travel.
The Edit MX is our most popular all-mountain bike ever, now in it's fifth iteration. Everything we've learned in the last 12 years is built into this frame. It's simple, but very effective. All-alloy construction, custom butted tubeset, CNC machined one-piece rocker, threaded BB, external cable routing... you get the idea.
The Slacker is unique among all modern downhill bikes for a simple reason: it's not a world cup race bike. Unlike those bikes built for maximum high-end speed, the Slacker is built for fun and creative riding. It has 200mm travel front and rear and is a true DH bike in it's design and construction, but with 27.5" wheels. For uplift riding or bike parks, the Slacker will smoke any long-travel enduro bike all day long.
