PRODUCT DETAILS
“I’m excited to introduce you to my signature bike. The Taj bike has always been about blending the tough and simple sensibilities of a BMX bike with a frame size that you can also comfortably sit down and pedal. This year’s model makes the jump to 27.5” wheels which are still agile enough for playing around, and even better for cruisin’. The frame, fork, handlebars, and cranks are all reliable chromoly. The single-speed drivetrain and Odyssey brakes are as dependable and straightforward as they can possibly be. The Taj is a bike that is fun to ride, made to last and a breeze to keep rolling. I hope you’ll give it a try.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike designed for?
The Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike is a signature model designed with Taj Mihelich to blend BMX-style toughness with a frame riders can comfortably sit and pedal, rather than a bike built purely around standing tricks. Fairdale states the bike fits riders 5'4" and taller, making it accessible to a wide range of adult riders. It is aimed at people who want one dependable bike for cruising and casual riding rather than technical park use.
What drivetrain does the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike use?
The Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike uses a single-speed drivetrain paired with Odyssey brakes, a deliberately simple setup chosen for reliability over multi-gear complexity. Taj Mihelich has described the goal as keeping the bike dependable and easy to maintain rather than adding features that complicate upkeep. This straightforward build is consistent with Fairdale's broader approach to cruiser bikes.
What frame material does the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike use, and how durable is it?
The Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike uses 100 percent chromoly for the frame, fork, handlebars, and cranks, which is more durable and better able to absorb repeated impacts than the hi-tensile steel found on many entry-level cruisers. This all-chromoly build reflects the bike's BMX heritage, since chromoly is the standard material choice for durable freestyle-oriented frames. Riders can expect the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike to hold up to curb hops and casual off-road use in addition to regular street riding.
How does the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike compare to a 20 inch BMX bike?
The Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike trades the tight, flickable feel of a 20 inch freestyle bike for larger wheels that roll more smoothly over rough pavement and let the rider sit and pedal comfortably over longer distances. This makes it better suited to cruising and commuting than to technical street or park tricks. Riders coming from standard BMX bikes generally choose a 27.5 inch cruiser like the Taj specifically for that added comfort on longer rides.
What size wheels does the Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike have, and does it come in other sizes?
The Fairdale Taj 27.5″ Complete Cruiser Bike rolls on 27.5 inch wheels, a size Taj Mihelich chose specifically because it stays agile enough for playing around while being noticeably better for cruising than a standard 20 inch BMX wheel. This model year moved up to 27.5 inches specifically for that cruising benefit. Riders should confirm current wheel size and color availability with SkatesUSA before ordering, since cruiser bike lineups can change between model years.
