Customer Reviews
After doing my review of current downhill bikes, I decided to get a Jedi 29, and it was a great choice! Fast, playful, and has handled everything that Whistler could throw at it. I willingly recommend a Jedi 29 to anyone looking for a new downhill bike.
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.
The Jedi is a machine. It is the best iteration to date of the Jedi. The suspension design is able to run WFO! Pick your compression settings to suit your style. It’s not afraid to jump, as a racer just carry your speed. The bb is low so run the bars the same and it will chase corners all day 🤘
