PRESS RELEASE: Canfield BikesBack by popular demand, the all-new Yelli Screamy is longer and slacker with increased reach across all sizes and a 65.5-degree head-angle (with 130mm fork), yet retains its rally car-like handling thanks to 16.7-inch (424mm) chainstays and signature Canfield geo. Crafted from 6061 series aluminum for a compliant ride, the Yelli features stealth dropper routing, ISCG tabs, Boost spacing and three water bottle mounts.
 | The original Yelli was the hardtail that we wanted to ride. It didn't exist, so we built it.—Lance Canfield |
“The original Yelli was the 29er that we wanted to ride,” says Lance Canfield, owner and designer. “It didn’t exist, so we built it. We loved the speed and rollover of the big wheels, but 29-inch mountain bikes just weren’t fun to ride back then. We changed that.”
When it debuted in 2011, the Canfield Yelli Screamy was the first 29-inch mountain bike with sub-17-inch chainstays and aggressive all-mountain geometry. At the time, it was the only hardtail 29er that didn’t ride like one, and proved that a lightweight, efficient mile-muncher could still make you smile on the descents.
Today, that spirit lives on in the third generation. Slice and dice singletrack. Rail pump tracks and jump lines. Load it with frame bags and get lost. Keep up with your spandex-clad friends on the climbs and embarrass them on the descents. The Yelli Screamy remains one of the most versatile and fun bikes in the Canfield lineup.

I wonder if chainring and back tyre clearances are same as last model, and if anyone knows what they were/are?
I would drop my heavy Cotic in a heartbeat for one if they were (A) available in the UK (B) Actually came with 1 good colour like the old green one (C) Wasn't so expensive for ally.
Seriously, for woodland and singletrack this will be absolutely brilliant.

BTW, extensively ridden several Canfields, Nimble 9's of 3 generations, Riot's, Jedi's etc. I've been riding bikes of all materials for over 45 years myself, as well as selling, repairing and even manufacturing them.
Yes, first and easiest to measure static deflection stason.org/TULARC/sports/bicycles/8e-2-Frame-Stiffness.html for vertical - of course all tyres and fork (road bikes) And sideways at hubs sheldonbrown.com/rinard/rinard_frametest.html - range of results tends to show aluminium stiffer - but this is prob down to tube diameter which goes hand in hand with strength
My hunch is the "feel" is more down to the latter - and possibly the compliance you normally feel on a rigid frame is weight on a pedal levering the bottom bracket sideways - but no idea really - triangle truss is very efficient way of making a stiff structure. My brompton (folding bike) doesn't have this and it can be quite sketchy to ride fast.
I suspect clearance for 2.6" back tyres will make this yelli potentially a good bit more comfortable than old one
That bike built, with a good fork, Sram GX and Magura brakes for 3k and some change is a really good buy.
That fact that you can pick your fork and upgrade the wheels if you want just adds to the value.
