I wish. I bug Lance about have one for me to race DH on- ALL THE TIME. I have a 160-180mm model of the Riot I would love to do. 150 rear end of course. It's on my radar for sure.

No 27.5 hardtail in the mix. The +wheels on the 29ers seems to fit the need well enough. EPO with sliders..... it's been talked about. But not sure we will do it on the next revision. I do love me some SS riding though.

Those are all great bikes- I guess it depends on your needs- If you want carbon or not. But performance it why people buy Canfields. CBF Money Geo. (well, for aggressive riders) The best pedaling you can find. Customer service is pretty good here too.

The riot is built similar to any Aluminum All Mountain frame. It not really built extra shout, but normal Canfield Brothers tough. There seems to be a new trend where people are assuming that any Aluminum frame these days- is somehow burlier or tougher than their Carbon equivalent. Which is not the case. Aluminum or Carbon frames go through the...

The XL is similar to the 2017 N9. Geo charts will be release next week. I'm 6'1" and feel like the 414mm stay is money for me. Perfect mix of being able to lift the front for drops, and pump manual through the holes. With the seat angle to match, the body position works well for the climbs too. Longer...

Don't even get me started about Steel DH rigs. Love them so much. But sadly no. No plans, but I could see doing custom steel again, like the signature series days, with one off custom stuff. But trust me- I still have two steel rigs at the office built and ready to ride. The last Signature series frame- And the...

The Big Fat Fatty Fat- Was named after our family dog that we grew up with. He was old and mean as hell and a bit pudgy, so Lance nicknamed him the Big Fat Fatty Fat.... We went around with names forever. But when Lance suggested the BF3- we just went with it.

"how is this better than a single pivot located at the top of the chainring, the same place as CBF places it's CC?". The Anti-Squat numbers on both the Single pivot in that location and our CBF are close in the Linkage program. But the pedaling feel of both are very different. Hard to say why. But Like the Anti-Rise...
