Origin

The Kids Habit 26 gives younger riders access to a properly designed full-suspension trail bike — not a toy-grade frame with suspension stickers, but a bike with a real air-spring fork and a genuine four-bar linkage rear suspension delivering 120 mm of travel. It's designed for riders who are progressing beyond hardtail limits on singletrack and want the traction and control that full-suspension provides. The frame is dropper-post compatible and uses a proper thru-axle with UDH for adult-standard wheel security.
