Two wheels, one gear, zero BS. A jump bike in it's rawest, purest form.
The original idea behind the Fade was 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 colour, 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. How it should be.
A reach of 430mm and a 25mm BB drop make for a stable ride paired with super-short 385mm stays and a 69 degree 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.
The Fade frame's geometry is designed around a 100mm travel single crown dirt jump fork. We recommend using a 35-50mm stem. More in-depth information on geometry can be found on our Geometry Tech page.

The Fade frame is available in one size only. It's designed as a compact dirt jump & pump-track bike but reach is a little bit longer than most, so it's perfect if you're a mountain biker accustomed to modern, long enduro bikes.
