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.
Efficient and effortless pedaling experience
Excellent suspension characteristics for rough terrain
Confident and playful handling
Modern geometry and size-specific suspension design
Versatile for a wide range of trail conditions
Suspension can feel harsh in certain conditions
May lack sufficient travel for enduro biking
Seat-tube length may not suit riders with shorter inseams
The Habit was a real joy to ride, just a trail bike should be.
Cannondale’s new Habit is totally different to anything it’s made before
With 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

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

Re-engineered and re-imagined with modern geometry, great spec and groundbreaking suspension technology, the Habit promises to maximize the fun factor on more trails, for more riders.
