Pioneer Spirit Meets Trail Passion
Cannondale has been synonymous with innovation in the mountain bike segment for decades. With the Habit, US manufacturer Cannondale has built an MTB platform that puts this innovation to work on every ride. Bikes for those who love to ride – whether you're climbing or descending. With thoughtful details, a clear model structure, and Cannondale's signature focus on riding dynamics, the Habit (available as either hardtail or full suspension) has become a real favorite among trail fans.
Cannondale Habit Highlights at a Glance
In the Habit, Cannondale has created a trail bike that's all about uncompromising riding fun. The latest generation combines modern trail geometry with Proportional Response suspension and – depending on the model – 130 mm (hardtail) to 150 mm (long-travel version) of front travel and 130 or 140 mm at the full-suspension rear. Add agile handling and excellent rollover performance thanks to 29-inch wheels, and you get a bike that stands out both downhill and uphill. The Cannondale Habit is truly an all-rounder on the trail – perfect for ambitious beginners and experienced trail enthusiasts alike.
