2015 Canfield Balance

2015 Canfield Brothers Balance 27.5
Long before the “E” word, The Bros. had their own idea of what an all-mountain bike should be. When it was released in 2006, the original Balance was one of the first true mini downhill bikes that allowed you to earn your turns. In 2015, that concept is taken to the next level. While undeniably maintaining its aggressive downhill heritage, the new Balance is designed around the patented CBF suspension, making it quite possibly the best pedaling 160-millimeter (6.3-inch) bike in its class as well as the best descending. Modern geometry provides a roomy cockpit, slack head-angle and short chainstays that can accommodate both 27.5 and 26-inch wheel and fork selection. Up. Down. All mountain. Enduro. Call it whatever you want. We call it fun.
