Recovery: India Landy

In this short film, Fairlight team rider India Landy talks about how ultra-distance cycling helped her to heal and recover. Beautifully honest and insightful and highlights, how on some level, cycling is medicine for all of us; mindfulness, routine, ups and downs, highs and lows, escapism.

VIDEO: Mark Bentley – Fairlight Riders

In Fairlight‘s second short film in this series, Mark Bentley (aka Bentley Components), reflects on his connection with the Yorkshire Moors, how he fell into making machined parts for bikes and how ‘following his nose’ on a mountain bike is still where his riding passion lies.

Mark is a proper engineer, a trained tool-maker; he knows his craft! Deep knowledge of process and materials, helping turn our ideas into physical objects that are functional, light and elegant. We are really proud to have the Bentley logo on our frames. Thank you Mark. Filmed by Chris McClean.

Easy Wins and Marginal Gains: Our Review Fairlight Secan Goes Ultra Distance

While most review bikes go back into a company’s demo fleet pretty quickly, the Fairlight Secan that Morgan Taylor reviewed back in 2022 has gone on to live an illustrious life of ultra-distance riding, mostly of the randonneuring variety, with their friend Andrew. In this re-review, Morgan and Andrew consider the Secan’s updated build and speak to the easy wins and marginal gains of preparing both bike and rider for very long days in the saddle.

The Radavist’s Top Ten Bike Reviews of 2022

Every year, we get offers from companies, both large and small to review one of their upcoming bike models. We take on what we can and lean on our contributors for the ones we can’t fit into our own schedules. We’re still just three people running this site over here! At the end of the calender year, we dig through our analytics, social media channels, and comments to determine which bikes did the best and compile a list. This year’s ran the gamut from full suspension mountain bikes to, cargo, all-rounder and gravel racing machines. There’s something for everyone in this one, so read on for The Radavist’s Top Ten Bike Reviews of 2022!

A Three-Season Review with the Fairlight Secan 2.5

A Three-Season Review with the Fairlight Secan 2.5

Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to ride and review a lot of interesting bikes, from hand built one-offs to small batch customs and a whole lot of factory production models. In all that time I’ve only found a few bikes that I really didn’t want to let go of. The Fairlight Secan 2.5 is one of those few.

This bike is perhaps the most adaptable drop bar bike I’ve ridden. To help make that point, Fairlight sent me two dynamo wheelsets to use for the review, and I’ve spent three seasons riding the bike in various configurations. Under myself and my friend Andrew, who helps edit my rambling reviews, the Secan has completed four 200 km brevets, and has been my go-to distance bike for the review period.
