Habit Lt 1 Carbon Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I really appreciate how Cannondale dialed in the geometry of the Habit LT 1—it feels planted and confident at speed but agile enough for tight switchbacks. The Fox Factory suspension adds a super controlled, tunable ride, and paired with the XT drivetrain and G2 RSC brakes, it’s built for riders who demand performance everywhere."

The Cannondale Habit LT 1 Carbon 29 is purpose-built for aggressive trail and all-mountain riders who need reliable performance across technical terrain. A lightweight carbon chassis keeps things stiff and nimble on the climbs while enabling confidence-inspiring control through fast, rugged descents. The low-slung geometry and long reach provide a stable platform for hard-charging riders who like to push limits on steep, loose, and technical trail sections.

Up front, the Fox Float 36 Factory fork offers 150mm of adjustable travel, with GRIP2 damper technology that lets riders fine-tune compression and rebound for precise feel. In the rear, a Fox Factory Float shock handles 140mm of travel, working seamlessly with the bike's suspension kinematics for smooth tracking and traction over rough features. Shimano’s XT 12-speed drivetrain keeps shifting intuitive and reliable, and the SLX cassette delivers a massive 10–51T range for spinning up fire roads or technical climbs.

With 29-inch Stan’s Flow S2 wheels wrapped in Maxxis Minion EXO rubber, the Habit LT 1 holds lines through loose corners and feels composed at speed. SRAM’s G2 RSC brakes bring modulation and stopping confidence on big descents, while Cannondale’s in-house dropper post offers a clean, responsive feel. This bike is ideal for riders chasing big miles on technical terrain or seeking a versatile trail platform that delivers day after day.
