When I first had the conversation about testing the new 2023 Cannondale Habit LT, I was immediately brought back to my neighborhood cul de sac circa 2004. That was the last time I rode a Cannondale, and the first MTB I swung a leg over. Thankfully bikes have come a long way since the Head Shok days, and I was stoked to spend the summer on a bike I deemed a perfect fit for my riding zones. The updates to the 2023 Habit LT put in the mix of some pretty rowdy bikes, at a respectable price tag of $3,625 for the LT 2 model on test. Read on or watch the video to find out how it stacked up.

Ironically, this might be the most "normal" mountainbike on the market right now. Not a thing I ever thought I'd say about a Cannondale.

@the510wagon 10 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if the Habit is a copy of the Spectral 29 or the Spectral 29 is a copy of the Habit? But holy shit the frames are almost identical.

@michaelwalker8674 Год назад

I think the only thing I would change on the spec is switch around the XT mech for SLX and the SLX shifter for the XT shifter to gain that double down shift!

@TheLoamWolf Год назад

Nice input thanks for sharing

@MrSupermugen Год назад

honestly the SLX is better IMO, the lever is so much easier to push than XT.

@saularanda4931 Год назад

Awesome video bro, would you say this is very similar to the Ripmo Af ? Thanks for reviewing the ripmo af by the way, you introduced me to my all time favorite trails at deem hills in az!

@fullpullmtb Год назад

Heck yeah thank you! That’s a great question. It’s been a while since I was on that ripmo but from my memory bank the ripmo had more of a “plush” feel, ate up the small bumps and chatter a bit better. The Habit edges it out on “playfulness” but they are close. I would take the habit over the ripmo if it was my decision 👍

@TheLoamWolf Год назад

Right on thanks @@fullpullmtb

Thanks so much for this review! I appreciate your notes about sizing. Curious to know your height.

@taaboraak Год назад

Nice review ;) Just noticed a typo in the geometry numbers, wheelbase is 1240mm.

@TheLoamWolf Год назад

Thanks for that!

I’m 5ft10, would you recommend a medium or large? I’m not an advanced rider

@luigimattei Год назад

@theloamwolf great review thanks. Are the 4 volume spacers you plugged in the rear shock the maximum allowed for it? Asking as RS has both thin and thick spacers.

@fullpullmtb Год назад

From what I understand 4 is the max. When looking it there it looks like you could pop a 5th in but not entirely sure. A larger volume negative air can would be a better upgrade, more expensive but for sure better results.

Will die before I give up my Bad Habit! Such a good bike!

@lenklegastheniker485 6 месяцев назад

How tall are you? I'm in between L/XL and it's hard to choose.

@jaynolajones Год назад

Hi I have a 2020 habit 5 which I love, don’t know if you rode any of the habits of that era? But if you did, would you say there’s that much of a positive improvement for me 2 wanna upgrade? Cheers and great vid ✌️

@fullpullmtb Год назад

I have not! Looking at the numbers I think you would find the updates pretty significant on the trail!

@jaynolajones Год назад

@@fullpullmtb yeah cheers mate that’s what the feedback seams 2b! Also only issue I found with mine is had 2 size up 2 a large coz the reach was less on the previous model, can’t get a big enough dropper on it, 170 at least on the new medium I reckon 👍

@danielwatts3718 Год назад

What are those casual shoes you're wearing during the review ? They look dope

@fullpullmtb Год назад

Keen eye! They are the Xero Prio. I like them for the super wide toe box.

@carloslara7452 Год назад

@@fullpullmtb I wish they made wide toebox clipless shoes, I made the switch to barefoot shoes a couple months ago, and going back to narrow toebox, feels so uncomfortable

@fullpullmtb Год назад

@@carloslara7452agreed! I am using the RC Transition, they have a wider toe shape than most

@danielwatts3718 Год назад

@@carloslara7452 Check out the MX201 from Lake. You might have to do some work to take up the heel cup volume and some volume in the shoe, however the toe box is actually foot shaped and so good. The boa system is pretty good as well.

@topchoice1621 Год назад

For under 4k this is a good bike I wish they had different color options tho and it feels weird watching other people besides Drew and The guy from the UK Rob if I remember correctly is his name lol 😂

@fullpullmtb Год назад

Checks allot of boxes! I have to say, the yellow did grow on my after a while. Still not my first choice but the slight two tone definitely helped ease it a bit. The yellow is great for photos and videos, really pops compared to my standard plain black choices!

@topchoice1621 Год назад

@@fullpullmtb all black would of been great 👍

@TheLoamWolf Год назад

Haha Yeah Cole has been around a while, he just took a break but we're happy to have him back helping us out from time to time.
