Over the years I've saved hundreds of pounds on cycling gear, simply by shopping around and buying cycling consumables only when they're on sale. ![]() Welcome to Bike Bargains - I scour the internet trying to find the best deals specifically for UK based cyclists. I also have several sections dedicated to ranges by Pinnacle, Polygon & Carrera Bikes, including the popular Vengeance, Sulcata, Karkinos and other Carrera Mountain Bikes, as well as hybrid ranges such as the classic Subway, Crossfire and Parva models. My accessories page covers cycling related items like turbo trainers. ![]() I also have a page dedicated to cycling clothing, including helmets & cycling shoes, and a bike parts area featuring components such as frames, power meters and groupsets. My popular bikes section has pages for speedy road bikes, burly mountain bikes, versatile gravel bikes and more recently handy electric bikes.

But if you’re a recovering XC nerd, this is a nice option that isn’t too big and clumsy, and offers that familiar front shifting.Ĭomponent highlights: Shimano XT and XTR drivetrain Shimano XT brakes Stan’s Arch Ex 32H tubeless-ready wheels RockShox Monarch DebonAir XX 120mm shock Lefty 2.Composed and capable enough to run with bigger-travel bikes, yet light and lively enough to put the hurt on the shaved leg set, the Habit is mainly concerned with delivering the most important kind of MTB performance - pure, simple, trail-ripping fun! If you're looking for one bike to do it all, make it a Habit. If you only suffer the climbs to savor the downhills, the Habit may not be, well, habit-forming. Some prefer the double-chainring Shimano XT/XTR drivetrain’s wide gear range, but nowadays, we almost always pick single-ring gearing for simplicity. Though RockShox’s double-barreled bar-mounted Xloc conveniently handles the Lefty and Monarch DebonAir’s compression damping, it clutters the cockpit and seems unnecessary. ![]() Interestingly, the bike’s 68-degree head tube angle isn’t overly steep compared to other bikes of this ilk, but the 1,161-millimeter wheelbase is certainly shorter than that of the Transition Scout and the Santa Cruz 5010. The Lefty 2.0 fork, which isn’t quite supple enough for our taste, exaggerates that twitchy personality. The 120-millimeter-travel, single-pivot, carbon fiber frame is light and handles nimbly, but the front end feels nervous at speed, especially with 27.5-inch wheels. What happens when you give a cross-country bike a dropper post and short stem? You get something like the Habit - a fun bike for trails, but not a trail bike in the truest sense of the term.
