Unboxing the Airborne Taka

Last Friday, we received a shipment of Airborne Taka Downhill Bikes (more on that later) and since some of you have never seen how these babies are packed, we decided to show you the un-boxing process.

With the help of Cousin Joe, we documented this glorious event. As you can see the Taka comes double boxed for added protection.

Notice the thick foam pads.

The wheels are securely set in place with another foam pad to prevent it from damaging the bike below.

Here’s what it looks like inside. Everything is zipped tied and packed with foam and cardboard for protection.

Before placing the bike on the stand, we cut the seat post about 3″. This allows us proper saddle height when riding DH, yet still long enough to mount on the repair stand. Then we installed the fork, stem/bars. Wheels came next and a final tune up.

The Airborne Taka was packed so well that we decided to take the cardboard and lay it on the ground. Cousin Joe couldn’t resist busting out his break dancing moves.

So there you have it, the exciting unboxing of the Airborne Taka, I don’t know about you, but I’m VERY impressed on how well its done. This should give any potential Airborne customer peace of mind knowing that their bike will arrive super protected.
