WHAT IS IT MADE OF AND HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH? The Faction II frame is made from Reynolds 520 Chromoly, weighing in at 4.8lb, give or take. Light enough to spin circles, sturdy enough to return from orbit.

WHAT SIZE WHEELS & TIRES DOES MY BIKE FIT? 26" ain't dead! A 2.3" tire will leave you ample clearance.

WHICH BOTTOM BRACKET (BB) STANDARD DOES MY BIKE UTILIZE? The Faction II utilizes a BMX-style, Mid bottom bracket. We recommend pairing your BB & crankset brands to assure compatibility.

WHAT TYPE OF STEERER TUBE DOES MY BIKE REQUIRE? The Faction 2 requires a tapered steerer (1 1/8" - 1 1/2"). You can run a straight-steerer (1 1/8") fork with an adapter crown race.

WHAT IS THE SHORTEST STERRER TUBE I CAN GET AWAY WITH? With zero spacers, assuming a stem stack height of 40mm, your Faction 2 requires a steerer length of no less than 165mm. That's frame, headset, stem. That might vary depending on which stem you're running, but best stay safe out there, kids.

WHAT IS MY BIKE'S REAR AXLE SPACING? The Faction 2 utilizes 10x135mm BMX-style horizontal dropouts

WHAT TYPE OF BRAKES CAN I RUN? Disc-only, 160mm rotor maximum with an IS Standard brake mount. Or none if you fancy yourself a street-hoppin', hot-dog (Evil Bikes does not encourage brakeless riding).

I'M HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING MY AXLE IN PLACE. Ease-up on the protein powder there, Schwarzenegger. Try employing some chain tensioners (aka: axle tuggers).

CAN I RUN A DERAILLEUR? No- the Faction II is a single speed-specific frame.

WHAT SIZE IS THE SEATPOST? The Faction II uses a 27.2mm seat post and has an integrated seat clamp.
