PRESS RELEASE: Canfield BikesToday, Canfield Bikes introduced their new 2020 ONE.2 downhill bike. The bike is the first DH bike built around the Canfield Balance Formula suspension system and boasts eight inches of travel front and rear and is designed to accept both 29 and 27.5-inch wheels.
Our latest DH weapon is engineered to take on rough race tracks and big bike-park lines with confidence. Due to the ultra-efficient CBF tuned linkage, it pedals like no bike with eight inches of travel should to ensure no pedal stroke is wasted, whether it’s sprinting across the finish line or into the next jump.
 | We’re excited to present an all-new downhill bike for 2020. It draws on the heritage of the original The One as well as the brand’s roots in downhill and freeride with a modern take.—Lance Canfield |
Channeling the pedigree of the original
Canfield The One, the ONE.2 is designed to be as versatile as it is capable. By default, it’s a 29-inch downhill bike with 203 millimeters of travel. But in addition to being able to accept two wheel sizes (or a combination for those that prefer a mullet setup), it can be set up in a more pedal-friendly mode. Rear travel can be reduced to 190 millimeters by short-stroking the shock and that can be matched with a 180 or 190-millimeter front fork. Stealth cable routing allows for the addition of a dropper post for a pedal-able freeride machine that doesn’t need to rely on chairlifts or shuttles.
The bike is designed around a 63-degree head-angle and long reaches across all sizes make it easy to find the sweet spot in the attack position, and 17.3-inch chainstays strike a balance between stability and agility. Öhlins suspension complements the ride qualities of CBF design. Details like internal cable routing featuring machined interchangeable ports to accommodate different cable configurations and a custom chainstay protector tie it all together.
The Canfield ONE.2 is available in Bentonite Grey with orange links or Avalanche White with black links in three sizes. Pre-orders can be placed now at

YW
Still looks like an awesome bike though. I'm interested that they went CBF when people are still raving about the Jedi's ground munching ability with its Formula 1 suspension layout with all the rearward movement.

The whole point of the Jedi was the high pivot and idler pulley. This ONE.2 is like the Commencial Furious. Its not the ultimate DH race bike, more like a park bike, part time racer.
I'm basing my comment on the fact that they had someone racing World Cups on a similar bike. So I'm assuming that this is their new DH bike, not just a park/play bike.
"No, my dear Waki, the Volvo needs a new transmission, remember?"
Come on......
This Canfield looks pretty good in my book (Geo+price) though it is a shame the longest reach option is only 475mm.
EDIT: Why the crap did that post twice??
This is the first DH bike that I've seem in a while that's really piqued my interest. Metal, dropper compatible DH bike that looks rugged and fun. In my view that's really forward thinking. Love the look of the Ohlins gear too.
If you choose to run it 27.5 is the fork 27.5 specific of do you get the 29er fork?
Please drop one off to PB for testing, I've love to see it ran at full 200mm with 27.5's and 180 front and back with a single crown fork
We recommend running the 29er fork with both wheels sizes to preserve other aspects of the geometry.
As for the setup on a park bike, that is personal preference. Both could be really fun.
While i have always supported CFB and their products since way back in the avalanche proto days... i see that blob of bubblebum look and dry heave.
If you’ve ever tried pedalling a long stroke shock at 30% sag it’s pretty wallowy because ramp up doesn’t effectively happen until deeper into the travel. Obviously kinematics play into it a lot, but Canfield must’ve accounted for this in frame design which is probably why they offer it as an option.
I’ve tried over springing my dh bike to get more preload support and its fine for huck to flat type stuff, but it ruins all the ride characteristics.
If I had the cash, I would trick this out with the "matrix digital rain" color scheme.
The One.2 make you jealous
The One.2 make you "jizz in your pants"
The One.2 send it
The One.2 not make excuses
Bang & Olufsen is the definition of a polished turd. They make pretty looking housings for low-end audio components. Beats-level garbage with a prissy Euro name. I've worked commercial audio processing. B&O is laughable.
So I guess you're right. Canfield is not B&O.
As you seem to prefer looks with no performance, might I suggest you look into Colnago?
There is no need to disassemble any part of the frame and certainly not the entire bike or linkage. Removing the shock (two bolts) may give you a little more room to work. Once you have housing in the frame, changing it is even easier. You can just pull the new one through by connecting it to the existing housing. There's even special strings that are made for just that if you're not comfortable fishing it through all over again. Or you can tape the new housing to the old to make it easier and not have to route it "from scratch."
If you are not comfortable doing this yourself or have difficulty, we recommend taking it to your local bike shop or qualified mechanic.
What frame size is recommended for a 5'8" height?
I will say that they made it right (with me anyways.)
