Firefox Bad Attitude 9 29 - Text Review

The Bad Attitude 9 29 uses a steel hard‐tail frame, chosen for cost effectiveness and durability. According to spec listings, this frame is built for 29″ wheels and features basic geometry suited for mixed use.

In ride feel the large wheels give a smoother roll over mild bumps and uneven surfaces compared to smaller sizes. The steel frame means a bit more weight than alloy alternatives, but the tradeoff is robustness.

The gearing on the Bad Attitude 9 29 is basic—many listings show single‐speed or minimal freewheel gearing. For example, one spec: “Steel frame … Cassette/Freewheel Steel 18T” for the 9-29 model.

In practical terms, this means fewer moving parts, and less maintenance. On flat terrain or moderate use this is fine; on steep climbs or aggressive trail use you may be limited in gear range.

Comfort comes via the 29″ wheel size (allows better rollover), the upright seating geometry typical of entry/fitness MTBs, and the fact that the frame is built for durability rather than racing stiffness. Some versions may have rigid forks (which will transmit more bumps), so comfort is moderate.

This model is equipped with V-brakes (rim type) in many variants. Steel V-brakes are cost‐effective and easy to maintain, though not as high performance as disc brakes especially in wet, muddy or steep descent conditions.

The bike uses 29″ wheels (sometimes noted as “29T”) with rims that may be single‐wall or basic alloy. Spec listings show “Alloy Single Wall 36H” rims for this model.
