Geometry

Features

Proportional Response™

Rider-scaled kinematics and size-driven geometry that track with your center of gravity. Same killer feel for every rider.

Acros® Headset

Bad Habit ships stock with a zero-offset, ultra-reliable, German-engineered Acros headset and bearings. Acros angle-adjust headsets are available as an aftermarket upgrade, allowing you the ability to adjust your geo from slack to steep as needed—a booster dose for every trail fiend.

Coil or Air

Pick your flavor—pop or plow. Bad Habit happily handles both.

The Mullet Method

Designed specifically for 29" front and 27.5" rear. Fast in, loose out. Tracks straight, flicks quick. Keeps you light on the bars and heavy on the gas.

Standard Where It Matters

Threaded BB. Metric shock. UDH hanger. No proprietary weirdness. Built to bash. Easy to fix.

Run It Long - Drop It Deep

34.9 seat tube to accommodate long-travel droppers. Run it long, drop it deep, and sweep the seat space clean.

StashPort™ Storage

One large. One small. Silent, sorted, and off your back. The way a stash spot should be.

Control on Contact

Proportional Response™ suspension. Mixed wheels. Low ride height. Each element tuned for traction and composure when the line gets wild. The bike holds steady. The rider stays in command.

Built In Instinct

Smart features shaped by the same pedigree that sends it from Enduro podium moments to full-tilt party laps.  Proportional Response size-specific kinematics, geometry and construction. Coil or air compatibility. StashPort frame storage. Tunable tech that gives you the freedom to ride your way. 

Rider-first Design

Low standover for excellent maneuverability. Big diameter seat tubes for long-travel droppers. Balanced stiffness through every size. Predictable kinematics that match rider weight and leverage. Every size is tuned for your daily dose of good trouble.

Carbon Done Right

All‑new frame. Full carbon from head to tail. Guarded with shuttle and chainstay protection. Standard hardware. Nothing hidden. Everything proven.
