The habit is a very different bike to the scalpel SE. Tbf, I think cannondales biggest problem is not many people who ride bigger than 100mm care about the lefty anymore.
Also the spesh epic evo and orbea OIZ TR are much better looking bikes and get raving reviews

Dunno, they are trail bikes with very similar angles. 20cm of travel and 3cm wheelbase between them. I've always felt the current Habit is a bit neither one thing nor the other. Against the Scalpel Si it's obvious what the current Habit is and why you'd chose it over the Scalpel, but against a longer, bigger Scalpel the choice is less clear.

Yeah. They want forks they can smash to bits and go 200 hours outside of the service interval and not eat themselves.

I don't think that really matters because this is firmly aimed at 40 yearolds with cash to burn who owned Leftys and Headshoks in the 90s.

Yeah. Guess they have to do something wild with the pricing and spec to prevent themselves from confusing with / cannibalising the Habit range.
