Ready to Get Shreddy
When you’re ready to carve the trails, the right ride makes all the difference. Habit 26 packs full-size fun and performance into a smaller-scale mountain bike, with suspension front and rear, plus quality parts that can keep up with you.
Smooth Suspension
Dialed dual suspension delivers amazing comfort and control. A balanced 120mm of travel, with a burly air-spring fork up front, and a sophisticated four-bar linkage in the rear delivers great traction, smooth bump absorption, and consistent braking.
Built Tough
We know you can’t wait to get out there and push your limits – and your bike’s limits, too. With that in mind, Habit 26 is built with dependable parts that can stand up to whatever you put them through.
Step Up
The Habit 26 is designed with one simple objective: to help you fall in love with mountain biking. It will help you grow from smaller, simpler machines, to bigger bikes for bigger trails, without missing a beat.
Features
Keeping it Clean
The Habit 26’s internal cable routing achieves two things at once: it creates a smooth, clean design, and it also keeps the cables out of the way, so they’re less likely to catch or snag – plus the bike will need less maintenance.
The Right-Size Wheels
The 26-inch wheels are smaller than the 27.5-inch or 29-inch hoops on most adult bikes, so they’ll fit you better, but they’re still big enough to clear obstacles and provide a big contact patch on the trail, for traction and control.
Dialed-In Design
Why 120mm of travel? It strikes a balance between short-travel mountain bikes (80-100mm) that aren’t supple enough, and long-travel rigs (140mm+) that can sometimes feel too floaty or bouncy when you’re learning to shred.
Go Confidently. Stop Confidently.
The Habit 26 comes with hydraulic disc brakes. That means stopping power is plentiful and reliable, giving you total control and confidence on the trails.
Universal Derailleur Hanger
The derailleur hanger is a quiet hero. It’s designed to bend or break if your derailleur takes a hit, so the expensive frame doesn’t get damaged. With the UDH, replacements are easy to find and easy to install.
