- In this video I tear down and re-build a brand new 2023 cannondale Habit Carbon trail-bike, that the folks at my favorite local bike shop
www.chainreactionga.com
ordered for me and allowed to pick up in the box, since I’ll tear it down completely anyways and rebuild from the ground up with my own components. I chose the 2023 cannondale Habit Carbon 2 in XL for this, sinceI love the look of the all black carbon frame without any crazy, loud graphics. Rear shock stroke was bumped from 210x47.5mm (130mm travel) to 210x55 (140mm travel) & Fork is set at 150mm essentially turning this frame into the Habit LT.

Great video! May I ask the reference of the downtube protection? Thanks.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Link is added to the video description now. 🍻
So damn good!! I love your builds and the quality of your craftmanship.
Thank You! Glad you liked it! 🍻
Great Store and staff.
Yep, totally agree!
Really enjoyed it, fantastic craftsmanship, would love to learn it. How long did it take in real time to put it together?? How does it ride, I'm looking for the same bike myself.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Took about a day to do. If not shooting a video, it’ll only take a few hours to build. It feels surprisingly light for a 140/150 trail-bike, climbs pretty well too. Only thing that made it feel really unbalanced was the fork…. The stock rear shock is actually really nice. Great small bump absorption, but still supportive without feeling like a lifted truck. The stock fork on the other hand was really bad. It was harsh, and nothing like the rear, making the whole bike feel kind of unbalanced. Upgrading the guts to Charger 3 with buttercups, replacing the air spring also with the buttercups version and switching to low friction SKF wiper seals did the trick, but the Manitou suspension is just my preferred set up. Bottom line, first thing on your to do list should be the front suspension. Happy Trails, can’t go wrong with a model year ‘23 Habit. Nothing proprietary on it anymore, solid performer. 🍻
