Cannondale BAD HABIT 2 - Carbon Mountainbike - 2026 - phoenix yellow

Takes you straight to the top of the podium.

The brand-new Cannondale Bad Habit is a fresh, enduro-oriented all-mountain bicycle. A declaration of love for the great outdoors. A tribute to the enduro freaks, the big-mountain moshers, the uphill fighters who battle their way up the mountain only to blast down into the valley. Born from the ideas of Cannondale pro racers, talented brand ambassadors, and our own passionate in-house team, this beast takes the proven DNA of the Habit and Habit LT models and combines them into a powerful, modern enduro bicycle that blends agility, playful rideability, and rugged durability.

This is an enduro machine for bikers who reward precision and good line choice with incredible speed, while keeping you out of trouble with unwavering control. If you’ve got the skills, it’ll take you straight to the top of the podium. Just ask Ella Conolly—she won the 2025 EDR World Cup on it. Awesome!
