Overview of components
Fork
The Bad Habit Carbon 1 comes factory-installed with the Cannondale Lefty fork. This has a travel range of 120mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The Bad Habit Carbon 1 has a rear shock with a travel of 120mm. The model Fox Float DPS is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Bad Habit Carbon 1 bike is equipped with the 27.5″ carbon model. 27.5″ wheels are a mixture between 29″ wheels and 26″ wheels. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Cannondale Bad Habit Carbon 1 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
Dropper post
The Cannondale model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
