Collection: Balance - AM/Enduro 27.5

I would highly recommend any products from Canfield—great products and services.

Great service Great product 👍

I've owned various long travel bikes including DH bikes from mainstream brands but the Canfield Jedi has always been a dream bike of mine. I bought it without a test ride (risky) after thorough online research. I was concerned that it might be one of those "never meet your hero's" situations... but fortunately I have been blown away with how this bike rides. In combination with the Ohlins shock and Manitou Dorado fork, this bike has been next level. I am at various bike parks 2-3 days per week all season long and have put hundreds of miles on my Jedi this year and can now confidently say that this bike is like a cheat mode for every trail. It jumps beautifully, finds grip everywhere, and absolutely plows through chunk and rock gardens. I could not be happier with how the bike performs and my assessment of it is that the Jedi is on a completely different level than the other DH bikes out there. The way a bike feels is more than simply the sum of geometry and specs and this bike is dialed.

I would also like to say that working with Canfield to get the bike was a pleasure from start to finish. Top notch customer service. Shipping was fast and they let me swap cranks and fork in to the package. They even pressed my headset in for me before shipping. At this point I am interested in migrating my trail bike and enduro bike slots over to being Canfield as well.

The Jedi flattens everything in its path. It has literally made me 20% faster through the chunkiest PNW trails. I now have obscene levels of confidence. Suspension is killer, build is bombproof, and Lance has been on the other end of every phone call. Would buy again, no question.

Bought my Tilt roughly a year ago and it has been amazing. Rides great, feels great and looks great! Tamed the trails of Moab! I don't think you'll be disappointed with a Canfield purchase.

This is a really nice hardtail. The headtube, bb, and brake mounts are all machined flat and Canfield's translucent finish is really mezmerizing. There is some brushed aluminum that glints through the finish and the Canfield headtube badge contrasts with this color nicely. All the bottle bosses come in handy when you don't want to wear a hydration pack. I paired mine with a Fox 36 Performance shortened to 130mm. It is a nice stiff combo with point and shoot handling.

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!

Burly and gets the job done. Excellent solution for those who desire short cranks

Love these pedals. Great colors, very sticky and convex profile so you can more easily move your feet. They are also easy to take apart and easy to service. Quality product from a quality brand.

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!

I absolutely love these pedals! I’ve been riding them for about 9 years now, and they’re incredibly durable. They’re super thin, light, strong, sticky, and wide—basically everything you need in a pedal! I’ve had them on my MTB ebike, DH bike, trail bike, and dirt jump bike, and they always outperform anything else out there. The service is a breeze too—after around 3k miles, all I need are some basic tools and I don't usually have to replace the internals. As long as you keep grease inside, these pedals will last forever! I've been a Canfield fan for a long time, and these are hands down my favorite flat pedals for all-around riding!

Love my nimble niner, I have it set at the shortest chainstay and it rips! Can go down anything and climb back up to do it all over again!

I purchased this frame to replace a full suspension bike. I wanted to see what an aggressive hardtail would be like on my local trails. Wow... This frames geometry opened my eyes! The slack head tube angle and steep seat tube has enabled me to climb and disend some really technical trails. I would say this frame really excels at rocky technical climbs. The paint on this frame is absolutely beautiful. After a year of riding somehow I only have one small paint chip from a rock strike.

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.
