Described by Cannondale as the sweet spot of travel, geometry and spec, the Habit – and its plus-sized brother the Bad Habit – is the American brand's new do-it-all full suspension bike.
The Habit is a trail bike designed to be utterly versatile – light and fast enough for cross country but with added suspension capability that, on paper at least, also sets it up as a snappy ride for more aggressive terrain. Cannondale reckons it has nailed this true all-mountain balance with the Habit's 68-degree head angle and 50mm fork offset along with short chainstays, a low-slung chassis and specs that include 760mm bars, 60mm stems and 180mm rotors.
Other headline features include Cannondale's lightweight Zero Pivot seatstays and ECS-TC Lockr Pivots, which lock into place using an expanding collet system to boost stiffness.

There are three frameset options across an eight bike line-up. The range-topping Habit Black Inc. and Habit Carbon 1 get a full BallisTec Carbon frame and swingarm along with a full carbon link. The Carbon 2, Carbon SE and Carbon 3 use a BallisTec front-end with SmartFormed alloy swingarm and carbon link. The Habit 4, 5 and 6 offer riders the same geometry as the carbon Habits but with a full SmartFormed alloy frame.
