Our review

The all-new Bad Habit is our fresh, enduro-minded, all-mountain instigator. A love letter to the wild side. A full-throttle, full-fun tribute to the enduro-heads, the big-mountain chargers, and the earn-your-turns giv’ers who ascend to send. Born from the input of our pro racers, skilled ambassadors, and in-house flight crew, this rig takes the trail-proven DNA of our Habit and Habit LT bikes and mutates it into a hard-charging modern enduro ripper that balances smash factor with finesse, agility, and playful pedal-ability from top to bottom. This is a rider’s enduro machine, rewarding precision and good line choices with unreal speed, while saving you from the bad with unshakeable control. If you’ve got the skills, it’ll take you right to the top step. Just ask Ella Conolly – she won the 2025 EDR World Championship on hers. Bad-ass. FEATURES: 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: 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. 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. Stashport Storage: One large. One small. Silent, sorted, and off your back. The way a stash spot should be. The Mullet Method: 29" front. 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.
