Until now, the two Plus-Fullies from Cannondale with 120 millimetres of travel at the front and rear have only rolled onto the trails on aluminum frames. But that will soon come to an end: Cannondale is continuing to rely on the 27.5 Plus format for this model year and is expanding the Bad Habit range with a carbon version.

The features of the Bad Habit Carbon 2 version are already known. The frame is made of so-called Ballistec Carbon (the highest quality fiber and the most elaborate processing at the US manufacturer) and is equipped with 120 millimeters of travel on the Rock Shox Monarch Debair damper and a Pressfit 30 bottom bracket.

A Rock Shox Pike RC in Boost size is used for the fork, while Cannonale relies on its own Ai-Offset rear triangle. Here, the rear hub and drivetrain are offset 6 millimetres to the right to create more space for the rear tire and shorter, stiffer chainstays. Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires measuring 27.5x3.0" sit on the rims with an inner width of 40 millimetres.

When it comes to the drivetrain, Cannondaled combines its own Si crankset with a Sram X1 drivetrain with 11 gears. The Plus bike can be stopped with a Sram Guide brake.
