Cannondale Habit Neo: suspension setup & specs
The Cannondale Habit Neo is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 150 mm of fork travel and 140 mm at the rear. It is powered by Fazua Ride 60 (2026). Here you will find all 3 current builds with fork, shock and shock size, plus matching SAG and tyre pressure starting values.

How it compares
On travel, the Cannondale Habit Neo is right where the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category usually is: 150 mm up front against a median of 150 mm from 101 bikes. The fork has 10 mm more travel than the rear end with 140 mm – a common layout that takes load off the front on steep terrain. On travel, it slots in between the Cannondale Trail Neo and the Cannondale Moterra Neo in the Cannondale range. The frame is made of carbon.
Cannondale uses RockShox suspension throughout. In total, 3 different forks are used, from the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate to the RockShox Lyrik Select. It is powered by Fazua Ride 60 (2026).
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Lyrik Ultimate): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Air shock (RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Cannondale Habit Neo
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Cannondale gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: (F) Maxxis Dissector, 29x2.4", 3C, EXO+, tubeless ready / (R) Maxxis Rekon, 29x2.4", 3C, EXO casing, tubeless ready.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
