It was mentioned in a meeting that we never talk about our MX-6 bars. So, this post includes all my notes from said meeting.

Our popular MX-4 bars end up all over the place and in lots of different colors, but our MX-6 bars stay quiet. They appear on the @sundaybikes High-C and on our own Taj model. You can also buy them for your own bike that might need a 6” bar. Enjoy!

Our Hareraiser dirt jumper (DJ) is available with

Our Hareraiser dirt jumper (DJ) is available with a rigid fork or a suspension fork. Our rigid fork version is a bit less expensive and makes a good entry point onto our excellent frame. A good DJ suspension fork can easily cost you more than this entire bike, and the funny thing is, most of the time you’ll have the fork pretty much locked out. If you’re coming from BMX you’ll appreciate the slightly steeper headtube angle of the rigid fork (the fork mimics a slightly sagged position of a suspension fork). You can, of course, always add a squishy fork of your liking to the bike down the road.

The rigid fork build also has our MX 4 BMX-style bars, which brings up the bar height. An Odyssey brake lever modulates the mechanical disc brake through our efficient Linear cable (made for Fairdale by Odyssey). That means no hydraulic fluids to mess around with, no suspension fork to service, no batteries to charge– just a bike that is always ready to have fun at the dirt jumps, pump track, or skatepark.

Simple, steel, and trustworthy are the slightly generic sounding, but entirely sincere bywords for our Hareraiser rigid.

Our new Berry Weekender Nomad! The Berry edition j

Our new Berry Weekender Nomad! The Berry edition jumps up to fast rolling to 700c x 40 tires (650b on XS and S sizes). The simple to use 1x Apex drivetrain is up for anything. And, Monty proudly rides along as your good luck mascot!

The Weekender is a model we’ve had going for 15 years. My personal bike has been on 1000 mile bike packing trips across the USA, tours of Europe, and now has been decorated with fenders and a basket for a less glamorous life of grocery getting and around town commuting. The Weekender deserves the run-on sentence description because it is so good at doing lots of things. Enjoy one!

Check this bike out in XS-XL sizes.

Taj’s Elevator Bike check up on the Fairdale website. “For our Sea Otter show bike (that would be my personal bike after the show) I went for the on-trend silver parts kit that turned out to be way more “on-trend” than I expected. Still, I’m stoked on this mix of parts…”

Click over to Fairdale if you want to see all the details of the bike and feel free to muse about how you would build your own Elevator frame (or ask us questions).
