Expirience with the Cannondale Habit Carbon 2

Ludwig Döhl When ex-world cup rider Josh Bryceland is in full send mode, he usually relies on the Habit Carbon 2 . No surprises here, since the fully is an absolute joy machine. Thanks to a moderate 66,3 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Cannondale puts a lot of trust in its products.
