"Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him! But then he switched to triathlon and wouldn't shut up about his lactate threshold, so I unfriended him on Facebook. Now I've got no one to talk to about cycling kit, and all this useless money just piling up."
Is this you? A cyclist with mounds of moolah and no idea what to do with it? Well happy day! You can stop flicking bogies over your cubicle wall right now, because the week is nearly over and that means 11 new ways to spend the kids' inheritance. (You never liked them anyway.) Yes, ladies, gents, convicts and the yet-to-be-convicted, it's 11spd, and boy do we have some treats for you today...
New mountain bikes and kit
Cannondale Habit Carbon Alloy SE
We’ve already had a good go on the Habit Carbon 1, Cannondale’s range-topping 120mm trail ride, and, as good as it is, its price tag puts it way out of the hands of many.

Step in this part-carbon SE spec bike and all of a sudden you’re dealing with a considerably less expensive Habit.
Gone is the flex-pivot carbon rear triangle of its spendier sibling, switched for an alloy part. The bike’s Lefty fork also changes from carbon construction to an alloy version and, more interestingly, its travel has bumped up by 10mm over the more expensive bike. This leggier Lefty makes for a slightly slacker head angle of 67.5 degrees, something that should only improve on what we found to be the Habit’s forte – descending.
You still get a 1x drivetrain, a tubeless-ready wheelset from WTB and Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres that are also ready to ditch the tubes. Our test bike tipped the scales at 27.84lbs 12.63kg without pedals, and that’s within 2lbs of the full-carbon bike.
