Fade Frame

Two wheels, one gear, zero BS. A jump bike in its rawest, purest form.

The idea behind the Fade is 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. It's agile and easy to get on the back wheel without being twitchy. Geometry is tight & snappy but still long enough that you're comfortable coming off your 'big bike'.

One size, one brake, one gear. They say less is more, and a bike like this is best in its purest form. There are no removable dropouts and no option to run gears. No ISCG tabs, no weird BB standard. Just clean lines and a heap of fun. What the Fade does have is super-clean horizontal dropouts, a threaded BB and cable routing for a rear brake only.

The raw frame option is the classic Airdrop raw finish; brushed by hand with a gloss clearcoat on top. Every one is a little bit different. The matte black is a finish we developed for the Edit - a super hard-wearing, deep matte powder coat.

A reach of 430mm and a 25mm BB drop make for a stable ride paired with super-short 385mm stays and a 69° head-angle to keep things tight and agile. The Fade is ready to party at a moment's notice.

Every Fade frame comes supplied with an Airdrop CNC seat clamp and integrated chain tensioners included.
