Hareraiser DJ 26" Frame

The Fairdale Hareraiser DJ 26" frame is a purpose-built dirt jump platform for riders who want BMX-style handling with modern MTB frame features. Its 100% 4130 chromoly construction balances long-term durability with a responsive ride feel, while the 26-inch wheel format and ultra-short rear end keep the bike quick to manual, carve, and correct in the air—ideal for dirt jumps, skatepark lines, and pump track laps.

Dialed features for DJ, park, and BMX-influenced builds

1. 100% 4130 chromoly frame - Delivers the toughness dirt jump riding demands with the lively feel riders expect from quality steel
2. MTB-DJ-BMX crossover geometry - Makes it easier to transition between trail-influenced control and BMX-style pop for jumps, bowls, and street sessions
3. 26-inch wheel compatibility - Supports classic dirt jump handling with versatile tire options for park, hardpack, and mixed surfaces
4. Ultra-short chainstays - Increases agility for manuals, spins, and quick direction changes in tight park features
5. Tapered head tube (1-1/8" to 1-1/2") - Improves front-end stiffness for more precise steering and confident landings when paired with a tapered-steerer fork
6. 3/8" rear axle slots with integrated chain tensioners - Helps keep rear wheel alignment stable and chain tension consistent, especially valuable for single-speed and park-focused setups

The BSA threaded bottom bracket (73mm) keeps service straightforward and crank compatibility broad. Removable Gyro tabs allow a traditional BMX-style Gyro setup for barspin-friendly builds, and the included sealed FSA Orbit headset adds value while simplifying the build process.
