The Larry Edgar signature Aire frame saw a handful of changes for 2020. To help reduce the weight of the frame, Fly have gone with new tubing specs to help reduce the overall weight without sacrificing any of the strength. They’ve also made a few changes to give more riders options. Also, Larry requested that Fly change things up from the M8 style mounts to the EBS style mounts to make it easier to switch between brakes and brakeless riding. The Aire frame features internal and external gussets, multi-butted and tapered tubing, an Investment Cast seat post clamp with the Horizontal Cut System, removable EBS style brake mounts and Investment Cast dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.
BMX frame geometry can look daunting, but thanks to our handy guide below you will have it figured out in no time. Remember, we're all BMXers here so if you have any questions just ask.

| 5'6" | 167 | 20.75" |

Head tube angle determines the angle of your forks. A steeper HT (i.e 75°and higher) will make the bike turn quicker than a mellower angle (i.e 74.5 and lower°). The more responsive the frame, the more twitchy it will feel, especially at high speed!
Seat tube angles don’t vary too much (around 71°) and affect the centre of gravity. The steeper the angle, the shorter your bike will feel. Some frames have a mellower seat tube angle (example 69˚) which makes for a longer frame without actually being longer and reduces how fast your frame turns.
The chain stay is essentially the length of the rear end of the bike. A shorter CS length will make the bike more responsive and a longer one more stable. As a rough guide a 13.5" long chain stay is about average.
Stand over height is essentially how high your frame is. A frame with a low standover height is more responsive and easier to 'throw around' whilst a high SO height is more stable; particularly useful when going fast.Free shipping available to most EU regions on orders over €199.99
