Customer Reviews
After speaking to Lance and doing a demo ride at Outerbike, I ordered the Lithium in large. The staff answered when I called with questions and emails were answered the next day. The build was straightforward, I had all the tools. This bike pedals extremely smooth and efficiently, better than all the other long travel bikes that I demo'd. Going down, it floats over the rough stuff. Zero frame flex. I'm a true believer in the CBF! Thanks to the entire Canfield crew for putting out a great product and quick responses to all questions!
This bike is so versatile and has eaten up everything that I’ve thrown at it - so much so that my Balance and Jedi are collecting dust…. It climbs. It pedals. It descends. Everything. To top it off, Canfield’s customer service is the absolute best!
This bike lets you do everything. It's a really fun bike and I'm glad I got it.
Fantastic bike, even better service from Canfield to get things sorted out so I could build my dream bike.
Not a lot of seat time yet, but my much more experienced riding buddies all have taken through chunk and on some jump lines, and a couple are really impressed.
For me, coming from an Ibis Ripley notice no sacrifice in pedaling. In fact, pedaling efficiency has improved dramatically. Ive taken it to Eureka Springs and Bentonville and have just been in love with it. I just float now, and im popping off trail features like ai have pogo sticks attached to my legs. Im glad I got this frame, im going to grow and progress with this bike for a long time. Added a Mezzer pro 180 fork and a RS Super Deluxe ultimate rc2 and it just feels amazing.
