Collection: TILT V3 - Trail/AM 29" or MX // 141mm Rear // 140mm Front

The do-everything trail bike. Built on the Canfield Balance Formula.
The new V3 Tilt is an efficient all-rounder that climbs like a mountain goat with a meth habit. But make no mistake — like any bike with a skull on the headtube, it's ready to party when gravity takes over. Three travel options. Three chainstay positions. One bike that doesn't make you choose. The V3 Tilt is ready, and so is your next ride.

Canfield Balance Formula™
Every decision in the Tilt's suspension design flows from CBF — Canfield's patented platform, meticulously refined since Lance Canfield started building bikes in 1999. The result is a suspension that pedals honestly, descends without drama, and never asks you to choose between efficiency and capability.
~120% anti-squat resists pedaling-induced squat without locking out. The axle path and anti-rise are tuned so the bike squats and dives in sync. Chain growth is minimized for a consistent feel through the pedal stroke.
Travel & Fork — Your Call

The Tilt's rear travel is set by shock stroke, not by swapping frame hardware. Three shock options let you choose your ride character without touching a wrench to the frame.
Fork range is 130–150mm, optimized around 140mm. A 130mm fork drops the front end slightly for a sharper, more climbing-focused ride. 150mm adds stability and confidence on steeper terrain. Either way, geometry stays within the intended window.
Three Chainstay Positions. No Compromises.

Move the dropout, change the handling. Head angle, seat angle, and stack stay constant across all three positions. You're tuning character — not rebuilding the bike.
| Position | Chainstay | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Short | 427mm | 27.5" / Mullet — playful, punchy, shorter wheelbase |
| Middle | 435mm | 29" Short or 27.5" Long — versatile all-rounder |
| Long | 442mm | 29" Long — maximum stability, confident descending |
