Summary
The Cannondale Habit is celebrated as a versatile and efficient trail bike, offering a playful yet confident ride with excellent suspension performance. Its modern geometry and Proportional Response suspension design cater to a wide range of riders, ensuring a perfect fit and ride quality. While it excels in pedaling efficiency and handling, some riders may find its suspension a bit harsh or desire more travel for enduro biking.

BikerumorCannondale’s new Habit is totally different to anything it’s made before
BikeRadarWith Proportional Response, rather than simply changing the stack and reach dimensions of the frames, we’ve custom tailored the suspension pivot locations for each size bike and rider, so no one is left behind. They all get the perfect ride.

Cannondale Habit Carbon 3 gets a carbon frame, progressive geometry, 29inch wheels, large volume 2.5in tyres and 130mm front and rear travel.
Really good fun bike
Heavy, seat angle too slack

Cannondale isn’t the most competitive bike manufacturer when it comes to value, although you can buy the Habit Carbon 3 on the high street, which can be beneficial from a back-up point of view.. .
Playful character, light feel, impressive tyre combo
High price, seat angle for dropper post, slight cable rattle

Somewhere between playful and capable, the habit is stable, comfortable and, yeah, maybe a bit dull.
