CANNONDALE HABIT HT – PRODUCT FEATURE

 

The recently launched Cannondale Habit HT hardtail mountain bike is available now in-store and online at Wheelbase!

Described by Cannondale to be ‘never not fun’ the Habit HT represents everything that’s good about the modern hardtail – there’s the mechanical simplicity, making it ideal as your ‘winter bike’ and the purity of the ride experience which will have you refining your line choices and honing your bike-handling skills the more you ride. Then there’s the robust & bombproof nature of a no-nonsense alloy hardtail MTB with a long-travel fork encouraging you to push the limits by cornering harder, jumping higher and blasting through technical sections with speed and accuracy.

The small range of Habit HT hardtails all feature the same frame, constructed from Cannondale’s SmartForm C2 Alloy, with each model coming spec’d with a capable 130mm travel fork. Aimed squarely at rowdy riding, the Habit HT boasts the sort of modern trail geometry we’ve all come to expect from a bike like this; with a slack 64° head angle, a 76° seat angle, a long front-end and a tight rear end with short chainstays the Habit HT feels playful and agile, with a confidence-inspiring, stable ride.

With fast-rolling 29” wheels, a versatile spread of gears and a dropper seatpost included on all Habit HT’s this playful bike climbs brilliantly, allowing you to get to the top of your favourite trail efficiently before dropping your saddle out of the way and blasting down the tightest, steepest most technical singletrack you can find.
