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!

Fairdale Hareraiser
This fully capable 26″ DJ frame is made of 100% 4130 chromoly with a 3/8″ axle slot, integrated chain tensioners, BSA 73mm threaded bottom bracket, ultra-short chainstays and a tapered 1-1/8” to 1-1/2” head tube with removable tabs for a traditional BMX-style Gyro.
Designed from the ground up to make the transition between riding a MTB, DJ bike, and BMX as seamless as possible.
Available as Complete Bikes, Frame/Headset or Fork only.
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.
We’re happy to introduce the limited-edition Vans x Fairdale project, which includes a Taj cruiser, BMX Sk8 Hi and Old Skool sneakers, water bottle, shirt and a giraffe!
Vans has been a strong Fairdale supporter over the years, so it was only a matter of time before we partnered up on a bigger project. Drawing inspiration from both of our worlds, this project combines a classic Vans aesthetic with Fairdale’s fun and playful take on branding.
In all seriousness (kinda), It was a huge honor to design some actual Vans and put a giraffe on them. Perhaps you too can perform the Kiss of Death!
We receive quite a lot of questions about bike sizing. It’s an obvious question to ask but one that isn’t always that easy to answer. In an ideal world you’d head down to your local bike shop and have them “size” you for a bike.
