29" OR MX WHEELS // 141MM REAR // 140MM FRONT
V3 Tilt Features
- UDH compatible rear triangle
- Adjustable rear travel via shock stroke — no frame hardware changes required. Three options, one frame.
-
Three chainstay positions (427 / 435 / 442mm) — move the dropout, change the handling. Head angle, seat angle, and stack stay constant. You're tuning character, not geometry.
29 : 435mm / 443mm chainstay options
MX : 427mm / 435mm chainstay options - Mullet compatible — run 29" or MX (27.5" rear) wheelset with ease
- Recommended fork: 130–150mm (optimized around 140mm) — a 130mm fork sharpens the climbing feel; 150mm adds confidence on steeper terrain. Geometry stays within the intended window either way.
- Patented Canfield Balance Formula™ (CBF™) suspension — ~120% anti-squat keeps you moving efficiently without locking out, while the axle path and anti-rise are tuned so the bike squats and dives in sync. The result: a platform that pedals honestly and descends without drama.

- Internal cable routing
- Forged clamshell bottom bracket assembly
- One-piece upper and lower links
- Custom CBF Chainstay Protector

- 73mm threaded bottom bracket
- Boost 148x12mm rear axle (Canfield axle included)
- Tapered headtube: 44mm upper / 56mm lower
- 30.9mm seatpost, stealth dropper compatible
- Seatpost clamp: 35mm
- Rear tire clearance: 82mm
- Removable ISCG-05 tabs
- Post Mount 180mm brake
- 210x55mm → 141mm Maximum plushness for aggressive terrain
- 210x52.5mm → 135mm The all-mountain sweet spot
- 210x50mm → 128mm Snappier, XC-influenced feel for faster days
Swap the shock, not the frame. All three options run the same hardware.

First off, a shout out to the excellent customer service. Lance and Michelle were amazing at getting me setup with my first Canfield bike, and even took the time to help me - over the phone, text, or by email - with issues well after I purchased and received the bike. That’s customer receive I never received from any of the other companies I’ve purchased from.
Now, onto the Tilt… These bikes are amazing! I’ve had two Revels in the past, so I was familiar with the CBF ride experience. These are completely different and offer an amazing feel to the ride experience. I was one of the first to receive the Tilt V3, and it was well worth the wait. It took me some time to dial in the suspension the way I liked it, but once I did, it was a complete game changer. It’s not a lightweight bike, but it rides smoothly and tackles anything you throw at it. I’ve ridden xc trails, and flowed through the lines. I’ve taken her down some gnarly chunk, and she soaked up every bump. The climbing efficiency is fantastic too. It has so much traction from the CBF, that it’s great even on techy climbs. To me, this is by far one of the most capable bikes I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned quite a few. My only complaint is the location of the water bottle mount, but I found a way around that. I have several suggestions on ways to optimize the ride experience on this bike, and once they’re in place, this baby is just way too much fun.
Seriously, pick yours up today!…you won’t regret it.
Hey Joe,
Wow, thanks for such a thoughtful review! It means a lot to Lance and Michelle to hear that they made your first Canfield experience a great one. Stoked to hear you've dialed in the Tilt V3 and are enjoying everything it has to offer, from the chunky descents to those technical climbs. Sounds like you've got quite the setup now! Really appreciate the support and all the feedback. Keep charging!
Incredible machine, thank you Lance and team.
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for the kind words! The crew appreciates the shoutout.
Hope that Tilt V3 brings you plenty of good times on the trails. Get out there and enjoy what it's built for!
Cheers!
I have four reds in on my 2026 Tilt. Climbs amazing, out of saddle traction is amazing. Descending is amazing also, suspension not affected by braking, this is my 11th MTB, best yet. I'm running fork at 140mm, shock at 135.
Hey Steve,
Sounds like the Tilt is checking all the boxes for you! Good traction when you're standing on the pedals, confidence heading downhill, and suspension that keeps working when you're on the brakes.
Your 11th MTB and the best one yet? That's a pretty strong statement. We'll take it! 😂
Thanks for riding Canfield and sharing the review, Steve. Keep charging!
The Tilt is supportive, plush and poppy. My favorite aspect of the bike is its geometry. It feels smaller than it is. I’m on a large. One comment was made by a guy I told to ride it, it feels smaller than my s3! It always leaves you in the great riding position. It really wants to charge. Seat up, seat down, standing, sitting, the position is perfect. And, the bike allows you to easily get over the front of it. I’ve owned many suspension platforms, and extensive time with them. The CBF amazing. I’ll be keeping this bike for some time….
Hey Charles,
Sounds like the Tilt has found that sweet spot where it gives you plenty of room without ever feeling like too much bike.
We put a lot into making the bike feel natural under you, so it's great to hear that you can move around on it and still feel right at home. And the fact that you've owned and ridden so many different suspension platforms makes the CBF comment mean even more.
A bike that wants to be pushed and keeps you in the right position sounds like a pretty good match. And we're definitely not going to argue with “I’ll be keeping this bike for some time.”
Thank you for supporting Canfield. Cheers!
I had a technical question about MyV3 Tilt frame setup. Lance called me back immediately. Frame is beautiful ,and easy to adjust axle position. Super happy about receiving 2027 Fox fork and shock as promised by Lance on previous call. Will be leaving a ride review shortly. Steve in Cal,
Hey Steve,
That's the kind of support we love to hear about!
We're glad Lance was able to jump on your technical question and get you sorted right away. And we're happy the Tilt V3 is living up to expectations so far. The easy axle adjustment is a nice bonus when you're dialing in the bike.
Thanks for choosing Canfield, Steve. We really appreciate it!
Perfect geo for the Front Range. Climbs like a champ, easy to maneuver through tight switchbacks, and no problem when the line gets messy--"When in doubt, air it out." This bike wants all the tech lines and side hits, and it looks trick as hell.
Hey Sean,
This one made us smile.
The Tilt has always been about that balance of efficiency, agility, and having a little too much fun when the trail starts throwing options at you. Sounds like your V2 is still doing exactly that. The Front Range is the perfect playground to put that to the test!
And we can’t argue with “looks trick as hell.” As for “When in doubt, air it out,” we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Keep sending those tech lines and side hits!
Cheers!
The Tilt punches far above its weight. I can't rave enough about this bike. I've never had a full suspension bike that does everything so well. My last couple bikes have been slightly longer travel enduros, but this Tilt still descends more confidently. And freakishly enough, it climbs like a 25 pound cross country race bike. Complete voodoo magic! I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Canfield is a great company to deal with and this bike is fantastic!
Hey Louis,
Pumped the Tilt is exceeding expectations for you!
“Complete voodoo magic” is one of the best descriptions of the bike we’ve heard. Climbs way better than it should and still charges hard on the descents.
Really appreciate the support and the kind words about the team. Welcome to the Canfield family!
This bike outperforms anything I've ever ridden. The aluminum frame is durable. The geometry and rear suspension are dialed. A ton of thought and testing went into this bike. The buying experience was special. Great people. This bike is so fast and fun. I'm in love. Looks sharp too! Canfields are not like the rest.
Hey Hunter,
This absolutely fired us up. Thank you!
“Holds nothing back” is exactly what the Tilt was built to do. Lance put a ton of time into getting that balance of speed, support, playfulness, and confidence just right, so hearing it’s outperforming everything else you’ve ridden means a lot to us.
Really appreciate the kind words about the buying experience too. We’re just riders building bikes we believe in, and reviews like this keep us going.
Stoked you’re loving the bike and welcome to the Canfield family!
