2016 Canfield Balance Announced

Striking a balance between efficient pedaling and all-out descending—an elusive feat claimed by many, realized by few. The all-new Canfield Brothers Balance is slacker, lower, faster and stronger, yet thanks to the patented Canfield Balance Formula suspension, it is an incredibly efficient pedaler capable of earning its turns.

Based on the efficient all-rounder that the ‘Bros rolled out in 2014, but calling on the hucking heritage of the original pedalable freeride rig that debuted a decade ago, the 2016 Canfield Brothers Balance was re-engineered with longer travel (165 millimeters/6.5 inches) and a lower leverage ratio for more consistent, smooth travel under hard riding, and a more progressive end stroke to swallow big hits. An all-new CNCed upper link increases stiffness, while a redesigned rear triangle improves tire clearance, and the entire frame is now crafted from bombproof 7005-series aluminum.

Features:
• 27.5” Aggressive All Mountain
• 7005 aluminum with an all new, stiff CNC’d upper link
• Patented Canfield Balance Formula Suspension
• 165mm travel
• 216mm x 63mm Cane Creek Double Barrel Air CS included
• 142 x 12mm rear dropouts, axle included
• Tapered headtube
• 15mm and 20mm pivot bearings
• Replaceable rear derailleur hanger, spare hanger included
• Anodized and factory raw frame options
• Available in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large

2015 Canfield Riot

Ever since our first experience on the wagon-sized wheels, we always loved the 29er concept; It just screams speed and charges through everything! Uphill, downhill—these wheels are fast. The downside is that most 29ers just weren’t as fun to ride. In 2011, we launched the Yelli Screamy, the first 29er with short chainstays. Playful and nimble, the Yelli changed people’s perception of the handling characteristics of 29ers. Here we are in 2015 and the Canfield Brothers Riot pushes the bar the further than it’s ever been pushed in the 29er dual suspension world, boasting the most aggressive 29er geometry to hit a pedal bike. Coupling 140mm of patented Canfield Balance Formula travel with the slack-and-low geometry Canfield Brothers is known for and radically short 414mm chainstays, the Riot is the most fun and aggressive full-suspension 29er to hit the trail.
