CANFIELD - BALANCE FRAME STEALTH

27.5" WHEELS // 169MM REAR // 170MM FRONT

Pedal. Send. Repeat. Built around the patented Canfield Balance Formula™ suspension system, the Balance is our idea of what an all-mountain bike should be: just as capable of flagrant disregard for line choice and taking big hits in stride as it is of getting you to the top under your own power. Burly enough for bell-to-bell bike-park laps, efficient enough to earn its turns.

The latest generation of our 27.5-inch-wheeled quiver-killing trail-slayer features 169 millimeters of rear travel, boost spacing, a custom CBF chainstay protector and internal cable routing. A slack 64-degree head-angle and long front center combined with a 170-millimeter fork encourage you to take the hot line, while short 16.5-inch chainstays allow you to snap corners and take names.

Canfield has been refining parallel-link suspension for more than two decades, and the result is maximum traction, effortless climbing and no room for excuses when the going gets rough. The Balance’s CBF™ tuned linkage offers smooth, consistent travel and a slightly progressive leverage ratio that makes all 169 millimeters of travel available when you need it most while offering a predictable bottomless feel.
