3 reasons not to buy
- The seat tube angle is not steep enough. Experts found it hard to keep the front wheel down on steep climbs.
- The offset wheel makes it difficult to swap out or upgrade wheels. The wheels need to be redished to be compatible with the Cannondale Habit.
- Experts found the seat tube on the bike to be too tall. One cannot use the dropper to its fullest potential.
