The Fairdale Lookfar makes commuting and cruising easy with simple 8-speed shifting, fast-rolling 40mm Maxxis tires, and mounts for racks and fenders.
The Fairdale Lookfar is built for riders who want a comfortable, capable bike for everyday cruising, commuting, and exploring. It keeps things simple with an intuitive 8-speed trigger shifter, so changing gears is quick and easy—up or down through the full range.
With 40mm Maxxis tires, the Lookfar feels fast and smooth on pavement, while still handling rough roads and mixed terrain with confidence. It also includes rack and fender mounts, making it easy to set up for commuting, errands, or wet-weather riding.
A small but thoughtful detail: Fairdale chose Schrader valve tubes, so you don’t need a special pump—just the same type used on most car tires.
The Lookfar shares the same proven geometry as Fairdale’s popular Weekender model, making it a dependable choice for riders who want a stable, comfortable ride.
