Challenging trails, up and down hills

What it's built for
Traction, handling, durability

Highlights
- SmartForm C1 Alloy frame / Shimano Deore 11-speed drivetrain
- RockShox 35 Silver R 140mm fork / Deluxe Select shock
- Shimano MT200 hydraulic discs / dropper post

The right stuff
29” wheels with big, grippy tires. Properly wide bars and properly short stems. Powerful brakes and dropper posts. Straightforward parts for straightforward performance.

Easy to love
Designed to be a "daily ride", the Habit is built for easy service with proven, durable suspension pivots, easy internal cable routing and no oddball proprietary stuff.

Proportional Response
Utilizing size-specific Center-of-Gravity data, the suspension is custom designed for each frame size so that every rider, from the tallest to the smallest, experiences optimized suspension performance.

The Ai Advantage
Our Ai Offset Drivetrain opens up the rear triangle for more tire clearance, while keeping the chainstays short for nimble agility. A stiffer, stronger rear wheel is just icing on the cake.

Performance without Pretense
If you’d rather ride than brag about your bling, Cannondale’s light, tough, SmartForm C1 Alloy construction is the real deal. It should be – we’ve been doing it longer than anyone.

Flip Chip
A reversable chip allows riders to tweak the geometry - raise the BB and steepen the head angle of by half a degree - or to switch from 29 to 27 Plus wheels.

Downtube Protection
Have peace of mind, knowing a rugged rubber guard is protecting your piece.

LockR Pivots
Thru-axle pivot system creates a rock-solid connection between both sides of the swingarm for instantaneous response. No twist, no flex and no special tools required.
