Customer Reviews
When I bought my Lithium, I already had a One.2. My initial plan was to short stroke the shock and fork to make it more of an all mountain bike. Then I put it together and rode it at its full travel and realized that I don't need to. This bike pedals so well that I can't imagine wanting less suspension travel. I am the only limitation on climbs.
When it comes time to head back down the hill, hang on. This bike is so much fun. Fast and flowy, tight and technical, steep and rocky - this bike loves it all. Canfield has created an amazing bike. Somehow at the same time this bike is ready to change directions at will and then charge into the next rock garden.
The Lithium is by far my favorite bike. It's the first bike I reach for 90% of the time. I've been very happy with my purchase.
This bike rides amazingly well. It handles everything I’ve thrown at it on the descents and climbs much better than I expected! It really is a great bike for burly trail riding with the occasional park day thrown in.
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!
My Lithium is a great match for the chunky, janky desert trails of western Colorado and Utah. The Canfield crew helped me customize my build with interesting components and personalized recommendations. I appreciate that they do things a bit differently and don’t follow every passing trend. The Lithium has held its own on bike park days and big alpine missions, in addition to being a daily-driver in the desert. Sweet rig!
