Meticulously crafted with rider experience in mind, Fairlight Cycles are high-performance instruments that inspire freedom and confidence.
With new models on the horizon, we saw an opportunity to develop a scalable visual system that captures the precision and raw emotion of the ride.
Poetics of Data
Whether solo or in a group, no two rides are the same. Ever-changing landscapes and conditions test both mind and body.
Each ride offers fresh perspectives; routes, viewpoints, and moments of self-discovery. A continuous stream of new data: weather, terrain, pace, and distance. What if we used this data to uncover patterns and visually express the uniqueness of every ride?
Decals with Feeling
We used an algorithm to transform real ride data into a family of decal patterns integrated into Fairlight frames.
Each pattern is shaped by a mixture of terrain and the feeling of riding — of speed and weather conditions on a road bike, or changing surfaces and vibrations on a gravel cycle.
Emphasising the adventures that Fairlight enables, the patterns are a reminder to stay in the moment, soak up the experience, and enjoy the ride.
A Spectrum of Expression
We expanded these decals into a broader visual system, setting the foundation for Fairlight’s future branding.
For the new releases, this visual language highlights the duality of Fairlight bikes as Instruments of Discovery—precise, technical machines that enable unscripted adventure.
We expanded Fairlight’s decal patterns into assets for social media and brand storytelling. This includes assets that emphasise the technical and emotive aspects of the ride, such as momentum and acceleration, to elevation and environment.
From steel shaping to CNC milling, the patterns evolve in 3D motion, reflecting the craftsmanship behind every frame.
The result is a cohesive brand expression that lives across physical products, digital assets, and storytelling.
We’re passionate about working with like-minded people and progressive brands, exploring design, innovation, and the future of brand storytelling.
