Cannondale Habit | Lively, Light & Fun! | Trail Bike of The Year
The Cannondale Habit Carbon 3 is a lively and light trail bike that's a lot of fun to ride. The bike had a refresh in 2018, losing flexy chainstays and gaining a regular four-bar suspension linkage. The Carbon 3 comes with a BallisTec carbon front triangle — Cannondale’s proprietary method of high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction that enables it to build very strong, light bikes — linked to an alloy rear end.
Cannondale hasn’t gone crazy with the 130mm travel Habit. Looking at the spec on paper you can see it’s a traditional — though still up-to-date — trail bike.
In its low setting, the Habit has a 66-degree head angle, 460mm reach and 38mm bottom bracket drop. There’s a 435mm chainstay length (L) and 29in wheels. So, nothing crazy in terms of shape, and the kit plugged in to the bike very much adheres to that theme too.
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.
Our major complaint is with the Cannondale DownLow dropper post. While its action is smooth, the 66-degree actual (not effective) seat angle introduces a bit of bind when you’re trying to drop it, requiring a conscious push forward and down with the hips.
Let us know what you think of the Cannondale habit in the comments.
