King Kong on a 2017 Canfield Brothers Balance - Lorin Whitaker

Team rider and Virgin local Lorin Whitaker recently decided to up the ante by dropping in on a trail bike—his 2017 Canfield Brothers Balance. The 18-year-old high-school senior says the inspiration came from none other than Lance Canfield who rode the infamous line on the previous generation Balance several years earlier.

Canfield Brothers Balance

The original Balance, released in 2006, was known as one of the first true mini DH bikes. While Canfield Brothers 2nd generation Balance is aimed more for all mountain use, it still retains the original Balance's aggressive heritage. The goal with the new version was to produce one of the most efficient pedaling enduro bike in it's class, while giving it the classic Canfield Brothers bump eating, DH performance. Designed around 27.5” wheels, however, the geo was configured to also allow the use of 26's. Go anywhere, do anything!
