The Airborne Cro-Hawk DJ 26 is a versatile and stylish dirt jumper that's designed for both performance and durability. With its 100% chromoly frame, it offers a robust yet lightweight structure, ideal for those who demand resilience and agility in their riding. The RST Dirt 80mm-travel fork, equipped with an extra firm HD spring, enhances the bike's capability to handle rough landings and bumpy trails, ensuring a smooth ride in various conditions.
One of the standout features of the Cro-Hawk is its low-profile, stable geometry. This design not only provides a comfortable and confident feel in the air but also ensures precise handling during turns. It's equipped with sealed bearings throughout, adding to its overall durability and low maintenance needs. The bike is powered by a 26/12 gear combination, which is perfectly balanced for gaining speed without sacrificing control.
The bike's wheelset is another highlight. It features strong and light 32-spoke double-wall alloy rims, combined with Kenda Kranium 26 x 2.1\" tires. This setup offers an excellent balance of low rolling resistance and maximum traction, making it suitable for various dirt jumping scenarios.
From a style perspective, the Cro-Hawk doesn't disappoint. Available in a sleek Bronze Charcoal color, it stands out aesthetically. The overall build quality, from the 3-piece chromoly 170mm cranks to the Tektro Aires mechanical disc brake, underscores a commitment to quality and performance.
However, the bike's weight, at 29 lbs. 10 oz., may be slightly on the heavier side for some riders, especially those used to lighter BMX models. Also, it's important to note that pedals are sold separately, which might be a minor inconvenience for some buyers.
