OK, There have been many sent out to be built. Let's get the party started. My Large Lithium with EXT suspension an Atomik Carbon hoops with BERD poly spokes.. Has been absolutely insane to ride at the bike parks.
Just built it up this morning. I have the cable situation under control after the pics, lol. Also have a CC coil shock being serviced. But for now, the SDU definitely does the trick!
2021 Canfield Tilt - size Large Rock Shox Super Deluxe Ultimate air Cane Creek Helm MK2 (set at 150mm travel) Fox dropper eeWings cranks (165mm) Hellbender BB Absolute Black oval chainring (we have hills here) Deity TMac pedals Industry Nine A35 stem, 32mm long OneUp bars Code RSC brakes TRP rotors XX1 AXS shifting X01 cassette XX1 chain NOBL TR38 with Industry Nine Hydra Assegai F 2.6 and R 2.5 (may be switching up to a 2.5/2.4 faster rolling tire while its still dry)
What I noticed pedaling around today was how much support it has under pedaling. It definitely has the feel of a DW link. First alloy frame in 3 years, definitely not the last! Will be ordering a Reeb Sqweeb here in another month (I think its a 6-9 month wait!)
Either way, very very happy with how the Canfield rides
First ride. It feels really well balanced downhill and pedals great uphill. I’m coming from a 6 year old 27.5 bike with similar travel but a 40 mm shorter wheelbase. This bike feels smoother and more composed but still corners really well.
I still have some fiddling to do to get the suspension dialed, but I already really like how it rides.
Thinking of getting a ONE.2 to replace my SB165...either that or the Norco Range...trouble is the site says out of stock and I sent an email and tried to use live chat and had no response from Canfield.
What bikes have other people tried to compare to the CBF bikes? I was persuaded by the ONE.2 video on youtube as the suspension looked so ridiculously smooth...but don't know if that is just because it has huge amounts of travel as usually in my experience, bikes with a lot of anti squat or pedal very well such as the Yeti's usually don't feel as supple as the more soggy active 4 bar designs.
Hi. Just wanted to ask actual rider reviews on the Lithium. I have a meta SX on Pre order but was looking around and wanted to see what Canfield has to offer. Coming from a Meta AM29 and a Rocky Mountain Slayer. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
