I still remember the first time I rode the Canfield Balance, it was a demo bike from BikeBoy PH. I was only 12 back then, still new to racing and figuring things out. But from the first ride, it just felt right, parang instant connection which is hard to explain. It honestly felt like love at first ride.
The crazy part? The next day was already race day. I didn’t even have much time to think; I just rode the bike the way it wanted to be ridden. Everything felt faster, smoother, and more controlled. That day, I finished first in my category.
At that time, I was still a beginner, but the Balance showed me what real speed felt like. It gave me confidence I didn’t know I had yet. It made me trust the bike and more importantly, trust myself.
Looking back, that bike wasn’t just something I raced on. It was the one that changed everything for me. It was the missing piece that helped me level up.
