Mountain biking is so much more than vertigo inducing GoPro footage, life threatening speed and laser guided seat posts. I love that my bike carries me away from the noise of the world and out into the peace of the woods. I always feel a bit uncomfortable when I realize I work in marketing (I blame formative years listening to Bill Hicks) so I have done my best to be sincere in what I do. This is how I really feel on most every ride. I hope this inspires you to get out into the trees and take some deep breathes.
Thanks to Logan Nelson for helping me try to share what I love and thanks to Fairdale for the Elevator ride out there. #oldmantabletops
Fairdale is happy to introduce the Elevator; our 29″ hardtail mountain bike that comes fully equipped with a SRAM GX Eagle groupset, a RockShox Pike fork, Alex wheels, Maxxis tires and more.
The Fairdale Elevator is a BMX-inspired, full chromoly all-arounder with a geometry that is focused on nimble maneuverability and predictable climbing and descending. While many modern bikes are long and low, the Elevator’s unique ride-feel will let you easily throw in a manual or re-adjust your position on a line, thanks to the super short 406mm chainstay length.
Aaron Ross spent a few days shredding his Elevator out in Bentonville. Luckily Devon Hutchins caught it all on camera. Enjoy!

Here’s a quick recap of Aaron Ross and Mike Gonz out at the TRABMX event in Pennsylvania on 9.21.24. Our friend Mike Gentilcore holds this annual Double Cross race and Dirt Jump session at his private compound every year, and it always looks like a good time! Our crew was out there on their Hareraisers. Enjoy!

The Fairdale Elevator is a BMX-inspired 29er hardtail. A full chromoly all-arounder with a geometry that is focused on nimble maneuverability. While many modern “long-and-slack” designs sacrifice fun for stability, the Elevator’s unique geometry rewards active riders. Quickly adjust your riding line and throw in a manual with ease thanks to the unique super short 406mm chainstay length.
Now this is a project we can get behind! Watch as Nora Vasconcellos, Jack Fardell and Jiro Platt cruise Fairdales through NYC to hit various skate spots. Shoutout to Monster Children and Nora for looping us into this rad trip.
Nothing to see here, just Taj Mihelich shredding the new Hareraiser dirt jumper. Frames are available NOW through shops and our store. Headset included, rigid fork sold separately.

When you’re on your way to the skatepark, but run into some homies along the way.
The Ridgemont is a bit of an oddball bike that we think is both practical and enjoyable. When the bike path ends, the Ridgemont keeps going with 2.0″ wide 27.5″ tires and stable MX bars. The laidback and rugged steel frame makes the bike both comfortable and strong. The hills are tamed by 8 easy-to-use gears that you pick with just one click of your thumb. Not a “normal” around town bike, nor a hardcore mountain bike, the Ridgemont is a bike that is simply fun to ride where ever you end up.
Gloss Black is available in Small/Medium and Medium/Large. Purple Rain is available in Small/Medium and Medium/Large.
Rip through the weekend (or any day during the week, really) on the new Weekender MX.
The Fairdale Weekender Nomad MX’s nine-syllable name might not roll off the tongue, but it will roll over pretty much anything else with style. We based this bike loosely on some of our employee’s custom builds.
It has the massive range, and smooth shifting of the Weekender Nomad’s SRAM Apex drivetrain mated to our MX handlebar’s more upright riding position. The rugged Chromoly steel Weekender frame adapts to this fun-to-ride configuration happily and makes short or long rides a blast. This model is an in-house favorite, and we think it could be yours too.
The MX features the Weekender’s geometry that is built around 27.5 x 2.0” tires, and also leaves plenty of space for compatibility with 700c wheels if you ever feel like changing it up.
