Cannondale 29 U Bad Habit 2

When the trail gets steep, technical and unpredictable, an ordinary mountain bike can quickly reach its limits. The Cannondale Bad Habit 2 is built for riders who want to push further, ride faster and take on challenging terrain with confidence.

This full-suspension enduro mountain bike combines a high-strength carbon frame with 155 mm of rear travel and a 160 mm RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork, giving you the suspension capacity to tackle demanding descents and technical trails. Its mixed-wheel 29″/27.5″ setup combines the speed and stability of a 29-inch front wheel with the agility of a smaller rear wheel.

The build is equally serious: SRAM Eagle 90 T-Type 12-speed shifting, powerful SRAM Maven Stealth 4-piston brakes, Continental Kryptotal tyres and a long-travel Cannondale DownLow dropper post make the Bad Habit 2 ready for enduro racing, all-mountain riding and demanding technical trails.

Key Features:

• Full-carbon enduro platform – The high-strength carbon frame delivers a lightweight yet robust foundation for aggressive trail riding.
• 155 mm rear suspension – Gives the bike the travel needed to absorb demanding terrain while maintaining control.
• RockShox Lyrik Select+ 160 mm fork – Provides substantial front suspension travel for rough descents, rocks and technical sections.
• Mixed-wheel configuration – A 29-inch front wheel helps maintain momentum and stability, while the 27.5-inch rear wheel keeps the bike playful and manoeuvrable.
• Proportional Response™ – Suspension kinematics and geometry are scaled to the rider’s frame size for more consistent handling across sizes.
• SRAM Eagle 90 T-Type 12-speed drivetrain – Provides a wide range of gears for steep climbs and fast trail sections.
• SRAM Maven Stealth 4-piston brakes – Deliver powerful braking performance when you need to slow down quickly on demanding descents.
• Long-travel dropper post – The Cannondale DownLow lets you lower the saddle when descending to give you more freedom of movement.
• StashPort frame storage – Integrated storage gives you a practical place to carry essential trail items without relying entirely on a backpack.
• Enduro-ready tyres – Continental Kryptotal tyres provide a confidence-inspiring setup for technical terrain.

Ideal For:

• Enduro mountain bikers
• Experienced trail riders
• All-mountain riders
• Enduro racing
• Technical trail riding
• Riders who enjoy steep and challenging descents
• Riders looking for a full-carbon enduro MTB
• Advanced and experienced mountain bikers
• Riders who want a playful yet capable full-suspension bike
• Riders looking for a premium Cannondale enduro bike

Why It Stands Out?

• Made for technical terrain – The Bad Habit 2 is designed around demanding enduro and all-mountain riding rather than simply light trail use. Its generous suspension travel gives riders more room to tackle rough and unpredictable sections.
• The Mullet advantage – The combination of a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel is one of the bike’s defining characteristics. The larger front wheel helps carry speed and roll over obstacles, while the smaller rear wheel makes the bike feel more agile when the trail becomes tight and technical.
• Suspension designed around the rider – Cannondale’s Proportional Response system adjusts geometry and suspension characteristics according to frame size, helping maintain predictable handling across the range.
• Control when things get steep – The 160 mm Lyrik fork, 155 mm rear suspension and powerful 4-piston Maven brakes work together to give you the confidence to attack technical descents.
• More freedom on descents – Drop the saddle using the DownLow dropper and create more space to move your body around the bike when the terrain gets steep or unpredictable.
• Ride further without carrying everything on your back – The integrated StashPort storage system provides convenient on-bike storage for essential trail equipment.
• Built to be ridden hard – From the carbon frame and reinforced protection to the UDH hanger and standardised components, the Bad Habit 2 is designed with demanding trail use in mind.
