Expirience with the Cannondale Habit Carbon 1

Ludwig Döhl The Habit Carbon 1 is the American answer to the Stereo One 44 from Cube or the Canyon Neuron. While the German companies primarily strive for efficiency, Cannondale puts riding fun in the foreground. With a flat 65,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. But the Cannondale Habit Carbon 1 still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Cannondale installed higher-quality wheels. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
