Summary
The Cannondale Habit is a versatile trail bike that excels in technical terrain with its playful character and modern geometry. It offers a composed suspension and efficient climbing performance, though some reviews note a lack of mid-stroke support and a heavier weight compared to competitors. The bike's design caters to a wide range of riders, with options for carbon and alloy models, and features like Proportional Response suspension for a tailored ride.

BikeRadarWith progressive geometry and handling it could have easily kept pace with our Trail Bikes of the Year, and when we rode some of the same test tracks it was every bit as quick.
MBRAll other bikes use the same pivot locations across their size ranges because it’s easier to design. One-size-fits-all is not the optimal approach for suspension.
