The Cannondale Habit 3 is all about maximum fun on the trails. From fast and flowing descents to rocky, technical climbs, this bike is built to handle it all. With a lively feel and dialled geometry, it’s the kind of bike that keeps your fun-meter pegged, no matter where you ride.
At its heart is a SmartForm C1 Alloy frame, engineered to deliver the perfect blend of stiffness, efficiency and durability. Cannondale’s Proportional Response suspension design tailors the suspension kinematics to each frame size, ensuring that every rider experiences balanced traction, control, and pedalling efficiency. The result? A bike that climbs as confidently as it descends.
The RockShox Pike Select fork with 140mm of travel smooths out roots, rocks, and ruts, while the Deluxe Select+ rear shock with DebonAir technology keeps the back end planted and composed. Together, they provide buttery-smooth performance and progressive support through rough terrain.
Powering your ride is the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, delivering crisp, reliable shifting and a massive 10–50T gear range to tackle steep climbs and rapid descents. The SRAM G2 R 4-piston brakes supply consistent stopping power and modulation, giving you total control in every situation.
Rolling on Stan’s NoTubes Crest D wheels, the Habit 3 is fast, tough, and fully tubeless-ready. Maxxis Dissector (front) and Rekon (rear) tyres in 29x2.4” sizes provide an ideal balance of grip, speed, and durability on mixed trail conditions.
Finishing touches like a TranzX dropper post and Fabric Scoop saddle add comfort and confidence on challenging terrain. Every component is trail-tested and chosen to give you maximum fun, minimum fuss, and lasting reliability.
Whether you’re railing corners at your local trail centre or heading deep into the hills for an all-day epic, the Cannondale Habit 3 delivers the control, capability, and playfulness to keep you smiling on every ride.
