Fairdale Elevator

This hardtail trades the numb, muted feel of carbon for the lively, responsive snap of steel. It’s built for riders who prefer to pop off trail features and manual through corners rather than just plow over them, making it a refreshing, playful antidote to today’s overly serious mountain bikes.
