The Nimble 9 and Yelli Screamy are the brand's hardtail offerings, both with a cult following in their own right. This downhill race bike from Canfield has only gotten faster, with a unique layout of CBF, the Jedi was an early adopter of the high pivot layout. The Canfield Jedi has been brought back, with modern geometry and is more capable than before. Using the same CBF layout as the trail bikes, this is just like the Lithium or Balance but on steroids. While not as high-volume as the three core trail bikes, each of the Canfield Bikes holds its own weight in any given category. Worldwide Cyclery will also have the other Canfield Bike models available for special order. That’s something we tend to love on a bike.Ĭanfield Jedi, One.2, Nimble 9 & Yelli Screamy You forget about going as fast as you can and start thinking about having as much fun as you can. Once you point this bike downhill your smile from the uphill grows and we find ourselves looking for all the fun hits and jumps on the trail or getting in those extra steezy cutties. Climbing like a possessed mountain goat, the Tilt holds traction in technical ascents and remains calm, something we love about this bike. We love riding the Tilt and it might be one of the most fun bikes we have ridden in recent years, probably since the Canfield Riot. You can push these bikes' limits whether you are looking for Strava times or hitting the local jump pack.Įveryone always talks about the elusive quiver killer, and while as elusive as it might be, the Canfield Tilt is certainly as close to the quiver killer as one can get. Picking up where the Riot left off, the Tilt gets modern geometry, a slightly longer chainstay for better stability and weight distribution between the longer front end and getting reinforced in all the best places. The Tilt has 138mm of rear travel with either a 140mm or 150mm fork, and of course that 138mm of rear travel is controlled by CBF linkage. Want to ride one of the most fun and all-around best trail bikes on the market? How about trying the Canfield Tilt? It’s a trail-slaying 29er that perfectly blends what you want in a trail bike together so smoothly you won't believe it's not butter. Worldwide Cyclery is stoked to introduce Canfield bikes again, carrying on a classic that has never ridden so well.
The Tilt, Lithium, Balance, One.2 and the new Jedi all are extensions of Canfield past: still made of aluminum, still using CBF, and still rocking the classic Canfield Skull Headtube Badge. The latest crop of bikes took what made the Riot so awesome and brought them into the modern era. Many of us at Worldwide Cyclery had Riots of our own. Canfield not only proved them wrong but made the Riot a hit with its 420mm chainstays. One of the bikes that really took Canfield to the top in our minds is the Canfield Riot, a fun yet aggressive 29er that came out when the trail and enduro crowd said 29ers can't be fun. CBF, which stands for Canfield Balance Formula, not only still holds up in today's world of technology-advanced mountain bikes but is still arguably one of the best all-around suspension platforms on the market.
Now Canfield Bikes is still making bikes and still rocking the CBF Suspension platform that Chris Canfield created all those years ago.
It goes without saying that they took these bikes and tested them at the highest levels possible. Lance Canfield took this bike and competed in the first four Red Bull Rampage events and Chris went on to race World Cup Downhill races. Together the two created the Big Fat Fatty Fat or BF3 in 1999. His brother Chris Canfield went on to design the suspension platform based on two rotating links to mimic the performance of an off-road truck. Lance Canfield, who had the idea to make his own bike back in 1994 while racing the North America Mountain Bike Races, wanted to create a bike that handled better than anything on the market.
