FIRST LOOK I Bad Habit I Cannondale Essentials

Meet the all-new Cannondale Bad Habit — a new breed of trail bike built for enduro heads, bike‑park lifers, and anyone who likes their lines steep, techy, and fast as hell. Enduro riders everywhere (including our host) are moving away from massive plow bikes and toward something more agile, more precise, and way more fun to ride. That’s exactly where Bad Habit comes in. With 155mm rear / 160mm front travel (170mm capable), mullet wheels, and a full carbon frame, Bad Habit is built to pedal, pop, and place exactly where you want it. Add in StashPort down‑tube storage, space for a full‑size bottle, extra gear mounts, and a shuttle guard, and you’ve got a bike that shows up ready for trouble—the good kind. But the real magic is in how it rides. Through some very real kinematic wizardry, Bad Habit blends hard‑hitting aggression with a light, lively precision that lets you push harder, ride faster, and clean the messy stuff with style. Powered by our Proportional Response design, every rider gets a size‑specific fit—tuned chainstay lengths, dialed stiffness, and co‑developed suspension with RockShox. Air or coil? Progressive or more linear performance? Your call. Bad Habit can be tuned to suit the way you ride.
