27.5" WHEELS // 169MM REAR // 170MM FRONT
Pedal. Send. Repeat. The Balance is our idea of what an all-mountain bike should be: just as capable of flagrant disregard for line choice and taking big hits in stride as it is of getting you to the top under your own power. Burly enough for bell-to-bell bike-park laps, efficient enough to earn its turns.

* Photos of bike/spec may vary slightly from actual spec based upon pre-production frame and availability of parts. Any substituted parts will be of equal or greater value than original option listed. Complete bikes ship as a frame and build kit. While frames are prepped, reamed, chased and faced, they do require experienced assembly. If you are not confident in fully assembling and tuning your new Canfield bike, we recommend visiting your favorite local bike shop.
Customer Reviews
The first time I got in one of these bikes the clouds parted and a choir of gnar angels began to sing. This bike will handle anything and everything you can throw at it. Highly recommend these bikes to anyone who is looking for a great all around mountain bike.
I purchased the Balance frame 2 years ago
and never wrote a review before. It isn't my primary trail bike, but I do ride it often. It is set up with a Zeb set at 170mm and does feel well balanced 😀 there. I purchased the frame with a DVO Topaz air shock. What I found, and have come to love about the bike, is the CBF. This thing pedals so well and really feels like you are pedaling a bike much lighter than it actually is. If you are unsure of buying a Canfield, find a way to test ride one.
Love this bike! Coming from a Ripmo AF this bike suits my wheels on the ground charging style much better. Built with Marzocchi coil front/rear and Nobl TR41 wheels with Onyx hubs. This frame builds speed effortlessly and I’m hitting sections faster on 27.5’s than I was on the 29 with the increased grip/confidence. Using a 450lb spring (185-190lb in riding gear), the bike feels great, but with the chunky park I normally ride I will be investing in a heavier spring to stop the bottom outs.
The Balance is the balance you have been searching for on the trails. When it comes to climbing, it’s in a league of its own—no other bike in this category even comes close. On tough ascents, the only thing holding you back will be your own fitness. Downhill this thing is an animal! Prepare to pick up effortless speed on your favorite descents, and don’t be surprised if you miss all your braking markers and scare yourself on your first ride!
Amazing quality and solid frame.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
