Cannondale Retires the Gimmicks for the 2026 Bad Habit Launch
"The new Bad Habit is surprisingly normal, lacking any weird offsets or proprietary components, focusing instead on being a mountain bike that simply works."
"Born from the feedback of the pro pits and solidified by Ella Conolly's 2025 Enduro World Cup title, the Bad Habit is a ground-up retooling of the already-beloved Habit platform."
"Now, 8 years later, this new Bad Habit is free of all gimmicks, sits on 155mm of rear wheel travel, 160mm of fork travel, and features a much more capable geometry."
The 2026 Cannondale Bad Habit represents a shift towards practicality in mountain bike design, moving away from previous gimmicks. It features a mullet wheel setup with 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheels, providing a balance of stability and agility. The bike boasts 155mm of rear travel and 160mm of front travel, constructed from high-strength carbon with a lifetime warranty. This model is a significant update from its 2018 predecessor, which was a short travel trail bike, now offering improved geometry for contemporary mountain biking needs.
