WHAT SIZE SPINDLE DOES THE FACTION II USE WHEN RUNNING BMX STYLE CRANKS? The Faction II works best with 153mm/6″spindles.
WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON THE FACTION II? 3 Year limited warranty
WHAT TYPE OF HEADSET DOES THE FACTION II USE? The Faction II uses a FSA NO.42/ACB, Upper 42mm, Lower 52mm headset.
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.

THE HARD TAIL WORK HORSE IS BACK
Our dirtjump masterpiece, the Faction II, returns from the shadows. Now available in frame only and complete build options.
SIMPLE AND STOUT
This dirt slayer is the perfect companion for flowing big lines all day, with a sturdy build and a backbone forged from steel. Simple, stout, and clean, just as a DJ ought to be.
No two landings are identical, and The Faction II comes in two sizes to accommodate your body and style. If you're mostly made of legs, or you prefer a mountain bike feel in your DJ, the long will be a welcome companion. For added BMX character and shorter inseams, the short may hit the fit. Faction frames offer the angles you want to float a few meters above the earth.

This bike is great. Every visit to the waypoint jump park at least one kid says how great it is. Had a problem with a creaky bottom bracket. Cole resolved the problem straight away. If you want to improve your jumping game, get this bike. You won’t regret it.

Top notch service. Will be buying from Evil Bikes again...

Expert craftsmanship as always

This is my first dirt jump bike and I’m lovin’ it! The selling point for me was the rockshox pike dj and the novatec crisp wheel set..it’s almost like the rest of the bike is next to free! Very cool bringing this beast of a set up to the spot .. everyone wants to check it out or talk about it .. I threw some cheap wide peds on there ( race face Chester ), upgraded the seat ( stolen bmx xl ) and had my local shop ( rockshox certified ) help me adjust the fork and set the tires for tubeless quick seal .. idk what else to say except it’s funny this bike is called “EVIL” because to me, she’s more like heaven on wheels!! just pull the trigger on her already!! happy riding from the Southern California desert, stay safe out there muh doods 🤙🏻

So sick!
