Airborne Skyhawk DJ Frame

Product Overview

The Airborne Skyhawk DJ is a 6061 aluminum dirt jump frame with hydroformed tubing, internal cable routing, and tapered head tube. Built for speed stability and technical trick riding, it combines lightweight construction with durability across jumps, terrain, and impacts.

Key Features

• Hydroformed 6061 Aluminum Construction – Heat-treated 6000 series aluminum provides strength-to-weight efficiency. Hydroforming process creates optimized tube profiles and wall thickness, delivering flex characteristics tuned for absorbing impacts while maintaining rigidity under load. Lighter than chromoly while maintaining durability through dirt jump and technical riding.

• CNC-Machined Integrated 1.5" Tapered Head Tube – Precision-machined head tube eliminates weak points and improves steering precision. 1.5" tapered upper bearing increases stiffness and responsiveness. Integrated design simplifies fork compatibility and improves durability.

• Internal Cable Routing – Brake and shifter cables route internally through the frame, eliminating snag points and exterior hang-ups on obstacles and terrain. Cleaner aesthetic and improved cable protection in technical environments.

• Tuned Flex Characteristics – Hydroformed tubing configuration balances strength and compliance. Allows controlled flex that absorbs impacts and terrain vibration without permanent deformation, while maintaining sufficient stiffness for responsive power transfer and trick execution.

• Slack 69° Head Tube Angle – Slack geometry delivers full-speed stability through descents and technical terrain. Longer wheelbase improves predictability and control at speed while maintaining maneuverability.

• Proportionate 71° Seat Tube Angle – Balanced seat angle maintains proper rider positioning and power delivery. Complements slack head tube geometry for responsive, controlled riding dynamics.

• Optimized Standover Height – Slightly elevated standover height maintains proper center of gravity positioning for stability and control. Allows efficient rider weight distribution during tricks and technical maneuvers.

• Euro BB System – European bottom bracket standard provides compatibility with common crankset and drivetrain options.
