Fairdale Ridgemont 27.5 Bike (2022) / Gloss Black / S/M

Description

The Ridgemont is both practical and enjoyable. When the bike path ends it keeps going on 2.0 wide, 27.5 Continental Double Fighter III tyres and stable Fairdale MX-4 chromoly bars, with a laidback, rugged 1020 steel frame that makes it comfortable and strong.

The hills are tamed by 8 easy to use gears that you pick with one click of your thumb, through a SRAM X4 trigger and mid-cage derailleur. It comes in S/M and M/L with FSA Tempo 1X cranks at 170mm or 175mm to suit. Not a normal around town bike, nor a hardcore mountain bike, the Ridgemont is simply fun to ride wherever you end up.

Features
  • Keeps going where the path ends. 27.5 x 2.0" Continental Double Fighter III tyres and stable Fairdale MX-4 chromoly bars carry on once the bike path runs out.
  • Eight gears, one thumb click. The hills are tamed by 8 easy to use gears, picked with a single click of a SRAM X4 trigger shifter.
  • Laidback, rugged steel frame. 1020 steel with a 1-1/8" integrated head tube, a frame that is both comfortable and strong.

Assembly information

Your bike ships mostly assembled in the box. Finishing it takes most people 10 to 20 minutes with basic tools, and the video above walks through every step.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.

Rather have it done? Ask us about extra assembly before you order, or any local bike shop can finish the build for a small fee.

20 inch BMX sizing

A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and suits riders from about 147cm up. At this wheel size the top tube is what changes the fit, so pick that by height.

160cm and up24"21.75 to 22"
160cm and up26"22 to 23"

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. If you land in two bands, riding style breaks the tie: longer for flow, trails and transitions, shorter for technical street and park.

How to measure

Stand your rider against a wall in the shoes they ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of their head. Measure from the floor to the mark.

Top tube is measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube, so it is not the same as the length of the tube you can see.

  • A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and most riders end up there, so do not size a tall child down to a smaller wheel.
  • 22, 24 and 26 inch bikes are adult bikes with a bigger wheel, not bigger frames for taller riders.
  • Size up for stability through trails and transitions. Size down if you want the bike quick and twitchy for spins and grinds.
  • Top tube is fixed, but stem length, fork offset and bar position all shift how roomy the bike feels once you are on it.

Not sure? Send us their height and we will tell you what we would put them on.
