We didn't fix what wasn't broken. We made it adjustable. The new V3 Tilt is an efficient all-rounder that climbs like a mountain goat with a meth habit. But make no mistake — like any bike with a skull on the headtube, it's ready to party when gravity takes over.

[H2] Introducing the V3 Tilt & Lithium

The Tilt punches far above its weight. My last couple bikes were slightly longer travel enduros, but this Tilt still descends more confidently. And freakishly enough, it climbs like a 25-pound cross country race bike. Complete voodoo magic.-Louis, Tilt

I work in the bike industry and normally upgrade every season or two, but I've had no desire after building this thing up. I don't even lock my rear shock out and it maintains efficiency. It descends like a 170 without the bulk. By far the best bike I've ever owned."— River, Tilt

This bike is a rocket. Climbs really well through chunky features and descends like a longer travel bike. I'm not joking when I say rocket — it takes off and keeps speed without getting caught up on anything. I think I know where I'm going when it's time to replace my 180mm bike.- Cameron, Tilt

[H2] TILT // 138R/140F // 29 or MX
Efficient trail riding.Long rides, lots of pedaling, still confident when it gets rough.LEARN MORE

My Lithium is a great match for the chunky desert trails of western Colorado and Utah. The Canfield crew helped me customize my build with personalized recommendations. It's held its own at the bike park and on big alpine missions — and it's a daily driver in the desert

David

I had a strong feeling this would outperform my current bike on the downhill — but also the uphill? So pleasantly surprised by how well this climbs. It's nimble, flings around incredibly well. Super happy with my purchase.

Roger

This bike pedals so well that I can't imagine wanting less suspension travel. Fast and flowy, tight and technical, steep and rocky — this bike loves it all. The Lithium is by far my favorite bike. It's the first one I reach for 90% of the time.

Love at First Ride I still remember the first time I rode the Canfield Balance, it was a demo bike from BikeBoy PH. I was only 12 back then, still new to racing and figuring things out. But from the first ride, it just felt right, parang instant connection which is hard to explain. It honestly felt like love at first ride.
The crazy part? The next day was already race day. I didn’t even have much time to think; I just rode the bike the way it wanted to be ridden. Everything felt faster, smoother, and more controlled. That day, I finished first in my category.
At that time, I was still a beginner, but the Balance showed me what real speed felt like. It gave me confidence I didn’t know I had yet. It made me trust the bike and more importantly, trust myself.
Looking back, that bike wasn’t just something I raced on. It was the one that changed everything for me. It was the missing piece that helped me level up. Sam Mariano BALANCE - Complete Bike 04/16/2026 The Lithium is already an incredible bike and by far my favorite in the garage The Lithium is already an incredible bike and by far my favorite in the garage. The V3 made it even better with being able to convert to mullet and lengthen the rear. You won’t be disappointed!! Gregory M Tilt / Lithium V3 Rear Triangle NEW 03/05/2026 Best All Mountain Bike Money Can Buy Are you looking for a mountain bike that can only do one specific discipline well? If so then this is not the bike for you. I bought my Tilt a few seasons ago and it's been by far the best bike I've ever owned. I work in the bike industry so I normally upgrade to a new bike every season or 2, but I've had no desire to buy a new bike after building this thing up. It handles everything you throw at it. It is by far the most nimble 29er I've ever ridden. It climbs extremely well, and with the CBF platform I don't even lock my rear shock out and it maintains efficiency. I have mine set up as a 138/150 and it descends like a 170 without the bulk. For as short as the chainstay and wheelbase are, it's relatively grounded, but can be maneuvered with ease with the flick of a pinky. If you're doing predominant bike park I would opt for the Lithium, but if you want an overall great climber and descender with the ability to do a few park days in the mix, then this bike is the definite option for you! (For reference I live in Colorado and my main riding spots are Floyd Hill, Rutabaga, White Ranch, Virginia Canyon, and some Trestle)
The only thing better than the bike is the customer service, it's easy to tell that the folks at Canfield genuinely care about rider experience and feedback. As far as a company that designs bikes by real riders, for real riders, these guys take the cake. River Loughran TILT - Frameset 02/25/2026 The importance of customer service Incredible customer service was what made me ultimately go with Canfield when trying out shorter cranks. With all the different standards and then the minutia around chainline, I didn't want to screw things up or spend hours doing research to make sure everything was perfect. They were very responsive and helpful to make sure everything worked perfectly the first time. Corey Wilkosz Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Silver NEW 02/09/2026 This bike does it all If you can only have one bike, the Tilt is the bike for you. It’s smooth in the rough stuff and carves singletrack twisties like a Ginsu. Todd Reed TILT - Frameset 01/28/2026 High Quality product, high quality service, and high quality company This is the second set of Canfield cranks that I've ordered for a bike I'm building. I bought these because the first set were extremely high quality, easy to install, and supported by a great company. They have moved across multiple bikes and are still awesome! The team at Canfield is quick to answer questions and genuinely care about their customers and supporting the hobby we all love. Brett Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Silver NEW 01/27/2026 Goat pedals Goat pedals. I run them on all bikes. Bullet proof, smooth and ultra grip. What more could one require from the main contact point on one’s bike? Anonymous Crampon Mountain Pedals 01/23/2026 Jedi 29 DH: Unstoppable confidence at speed! Incredible bike - I just spent 6 days on my new Jedi in the Whistler bike park on my annual trip. Took possession of it in Whistler (thank you to Ty and Eric @ East Fork Bikes in Pocatello). Quick setup and I was on the lift - what a difference the Jedi made, smooth and comfortable in technical sections, boosty and steazy off the jumps. I found myself moving faster than ever and feeling more in control - setting PRs on all the park trails I've ridden for years. The rear suspension just disappeared while I was riding, allowing me to focus on what was ahead instead of what was happening behind me. My riding group called the Jedi "crash-proof" based on how fast and stable I was riding, as if the force really was with me.
Canfield worked with the bike shop to accommodate my height in the bike build out - I'm a tall guy and getting the right setup upfront goes along way to making the bike feel right. Really appreciate the service, consideration, and the incredible bike. JSchiers JEDI 29 - Complete Bike 08/13/2025 Easily beat my expectations I had a strong feeling this would outperform my current bike on the downhill, but also the uphill? So pleasantly surprised by how well this climbs. It’s so nimble and flings around so well. Super happy with my purchase. Roger LITHIUM V3 - Complete Bike 08/11/2025 Amazing cranks for stumpy legs, great customer service too These cranks have been a revelation for me - affordable, burly 150mm cranks have genuinely transformed the way the bike feels.
I've got very short legs for my height, and have always struggled with feeling in control of the bike. Dropping from 165mm to these 150mm cranks feels amazing, and they look sick too ??I got silver arms with the orange chainring.
Massive shout out to the customer service as well - from initial enquiries about BB compatibility and sizing up until after delivery, Lance and Lester have been responsive, friendly and helpful at every turn, even with shipping to the UK.
Super-happy with the decision to choose these cranks, strong recommend ?? Mike Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Black 07/16/2025 Unbelievable Customer Service Hi Ya’ll.
Just purchased a Balance large size frame Balance. It arrived quick and safe! I’m so stoked to start this build. Aside from the frame itself, I want to say a bit about customer service. Three days prior to shipping, Lance Canfield himself phoned me letting me know it was on its way! I’ve never had the owner of a company personally contact me in this way! What a surprise! A few days later I had a a few questions about my build regarding brakes and crank lengths. So I gave them a shout. Guess who answers the phone? Yep Lance. We chat for 20 or so. Lance answered all my questions. Never felt like I was just a customer on the other end of the line. I truly felt like I was valued. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for the customer connection at Canfield. I’m looking forward to finishing this build. Never been prouder to own and ride a new bike.
Scotty Jenkins Scott Jenkins BALANCE - Frameset 06/17/2025 No Excuses Machine I have been riding the One.2 for a year now and its one of my favourite bikes of all time. I have mine set up with DH suspension but paired with an 11 spd derailleur and dropper post. This bike can send anything and it can get you there too. Perfect for heavy shuttle days with a bit of pedalling or bike park secret trails that require a bit of transit to return to the chairlift. I ride mine as a mullet. 6' and the size large is perfect. Nate Spitz ONE.2 DH - Frameset 06/13/2025 An absolute fun bike! I absolutely love that frame. It's exactly what i've been looking for.
27,5 wheels and short chain stay makes it really easy to maneuver and absolutely awseome to jump.
I'm 5'7'' and i got S size. With a short stem it feels like a dirt jumper. You can run it on your local trails and have lots of fun on bikeparks.
It was a little bit expensive to get it to Europe because of the import taxes but it was definitely worth it.
This thing sends it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO-kDOnWexQ Janusz BALANCE - Frameset 05/06/2025 Best flat pedals out there I've had lots of different pedals. I keep trying other brands, but always return to the crampons. They are the best thing I've found. Matthew Marvosh Crampon Ultimate Pedals 05/03/2025 Legendary Seatpost Clamp My wife wanted an oil slick seatclamp. I told her there was no such thing and even if there was, it couldn't possibly be any good. Enter the Canfield Limited Edition Oil Slick Seatpost Clamp! Talk about workmanship! Talk about oil slickness! If this was loot in a RPG, it would be endgame level stuff. As a matter of fact, when the wife isn't riding I might wear it as an amulet to see if it has any undiscovered magical properties! Just the other day she got pulled over by the cops for making every other MTB in Kentucky ( that didn't have Canfield Limited Edition Oil Slick Seatpost Clamp) look like junk. Acquiring this item has been a boon to our relationship in every way and I can't think of a piece of kit I could recommend any higher.

Built for riders who want more. More travel. More confidence. More bike for the days where the descent earns every pedal stroke to get there.
The V3 Lithium is here. Up to 165mm of rear travel. A 64.5° head angle. Three chainstay positions. UDH compatible. And the same patented CBF suspension platform that has made Canfield bikes some of the most capable — and honest-riding — bikes on the mountain. The Lithium doesn't ask you to choose between climbing and descending. It doesn't make you suffer on the way up to earn the way down. It just rides. Built your way, in Poncha Springs, Colorado.
“Impressive is an understatement for the Lithium when it comes to climbing.” — Mountain Bike Action, March 2026
At a Glance
Rear Travel 152–165mm
Fork Range 160–180mm
Head Angle 64.5°
Wheel Size 29" or Mullet
Chainstay Options 427 / 435 / 442mm
Bottom Bracket 73mm Threaded
Axle Standard Boost 148x12
Sizes S / M / L / XL
The Platform
[H2] Canfield Balance Formula™
Every decision in the Lithium's suspension design flows from CBF — Canfield's patented platform, meticulously refined since Lance Canfield started building bikes in 1999. Nobody has been designing, racing, and riding CBF bikes longer. The result is a suspension that pedals honestly and descends without drama — and on the Lithium, that means descending with serious capability.
[IMG: Canfield Lithium V3 with CBF Suspension in Raw]
The key is centering the suspension's center of curvature at the top of the chainring, so the chain system and rear suspension rotate around exactly the same point throughout the entire travel range. The chain never tensions against the suspension. The rear wheel stays active and tracking over rough ground even under hard pedaling loads. Traction on steep technical climbs. No kickback on descents. A rear end that feels open and composed whether you're seated, standing, or sending it.
Anti-Squat ~120% — efficient pedaling without lockout
Axle Path Vertical — rotating around the top of the chainring
Anti-Rise Squats equal to fork dive — balanced, pitch-free braking feel
Chain Growth Minimized — consistent feel through the pedal stroke
Dialed to Your Ride Style
[H2] Travel & Fork — Your Call
[IMG: Canfield Lithium Raw ridden on steep rocky descent, CBF Suspension, 163mm, enduro bike]
The Lithium's rear travel is set by shock stroke, not by swapping frame hardware. Three shock options let you tune the character of the bike without touching a wrench to the frame.
230x65mm → 165mm Maximum travel and capability for aggressive terrain and enduro stages
230x62.5mm → 158mm The all-mountain sweet spot — capable without going full enduro
230x60mm → 152mm Snappier feel for riders who want a more active, pedaling-focused character
Fork range is 160–180mm, optimized around 170mm. A 160mm fork sharpens the climbing geometry; 180mm adds maximum descending confidence. All three fork lengths keep geometry within the intended window. Recommended fork: ZEB Ultimate or Fox 38 Factory.
One Platform. Endless Adjustment.
[H2] Three Chainstay Positions. No Compromises.
[IMG: Canfield Tilt V3 with CBF Suspension in Raw, short travel enduro, 140mm , UDH, rear triangle]
Move the dropout, change the handling. Head angle, seat angle, and bottom bracket height stay constant across all three positions — whether you're running 29" or Mullet. You're tuning character, not geometry.

Love at First Ride I still remember the first time I rode the Canfield Balance, it was a demo bike from BikeBoy PH. I was only 12 back then, still new to racing and figuring things out. But from the first ride, it just felt right, parang instant connection which is hard to explain. It honestly felt like love at first ride.
The crazy part? The next day was already race day. I didn’t even have much time to think; I just rode the bike the way it wanted to be ridden. Everything felt faster, smoother, and more controlled. That day, I finished first in my category.
At that time, I was still a beginner, but the Balance showed me what real speed felt like. It gave me confidence I didn’t know I had yet. It made me trust the bike and more importantly, trust myself.
Looking back, that bike wasn’t just something I raced on. It was the one that changed everything for me. It was the missing piece that helped me level up. Sam Mariano BALANCE - Complete Bike 04/16/2026 The Lithium is already an incredible bike and by far my favorite in the garage The Lithium is already an incredible bike and by far my favorite in the garage. The V3 made it even better with being able to convert to mullet and lengthen the rear. You won’t be disappointed!! Gregory M Tilt / Lithium V3 Rear Triangle NEW 03/05/2026 Best All Mountain Bike Money Can Buy Are you looking for a mountain bike that can only do one specific discipline well? If so then this is not the bike for you. I bought my Tilt a few seasons ago and it's been by far the best bike I've ever owned. I work in the bike industry so I normally upgrade to a new bike every season or 2, but I've had no desire to buy a new bike after building this thing up. It handles everything you throw at it. It is by far the most nimble 29er I've ever ridden. It climbs extremely well, and with the CBF platform I don't even lock my rear shock out and it maintains efficiency. I have mine set up as a 138/150 and it descends like a 170 without the bulk. For as short as the chainstay and wheelbase are, it's relatively grounded, but can be maneuvered with ease with the flick of a pinky. If you're doing predominant bike park I would opt for the Lithium, but if you want an overall great climber and descender with the ability to do a few park days in the mix, then this bike is the definite option for you! (For reference I live in Colorado and my main riding spots are Floyd Hill, Rutabaga, White Ranch, Virginia Canyon, and some Trestle)
The only thing better than the bike is the customer service, it's easy to tell that the folks at Canfield genuinely care about rider experience and feedback. As far as a company that designs bikes by real riders, for real riders, these guys take the cake. River Loughran TILT - Frameset 02/25/2026 The importance of customer service Incredible customer service was what made me ultimately go with Canfield when trying out shorter cranks. With all the different standards and then the minutia around chainline, I didn't want to screw things up or spend hours doing research to make sure everything was perfect. They were very responsive and helpful to make sure everything worked perfectly the first time. Corey Wilkosz Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Silver NEW 02/09/2026 This bike does it all If you can only have one bike, the Tilt is the bike for you. It’s smooth in the rough stuff and carves singletrack twisties like a Ginsu. Todd Reed TILT - Frameset 01/28/2026 High Quality product, high quality service, and high quality company This is the second set of Canfield cranks that I've ordered for a bike I'm building. I bought these because the first set were extremely high quality, easy to install, and supported by a great company. They have moved across multiple bikes and are still awesome! The team at Canfield is quick to answer questions and genuinely care about their customers and supporting the hobby we all love. Brett Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Silver NEW 01/27/2026 Goat pedals Goat pedals. I run them on all bikes. Bullet proof, smooth and ultra grip. What more could one require from the main contact point on one’s bike? Anonymous Crampon Mountain Pedals 01/23/2026 Jedi 29 DH: Unstoppable confidence at speed! Incredible bike - I just spent 6 days on my new Jedi in the Whistler bike park on my annual trip. Took possession of it in Whistler (thank you to Ty and Eric @ East Fork Bikes in Pocatello). Quick setup and I was on the lift - what a difference the Jedi made, smooth and comfortable in technical sections, boosty and steazy off the jumps. I found myself moving faster than ever and feeling more in control - setting PRs on all the park trails I've ridden for years. The rear suspension just disappeared while I was riding, allowing me to focus on what was ahead instead of what was happening behind me. My riding group called the Jedi "crash-proof" based on how fast and stable I was riding, as if the force really was with me.
Canfield worked with the bike shop to accommodate my height in the bike build out - I'm a tall guy and getting the right setup upfront goes along way to making the bike feel right. Really appreciate the service, consideration, and the incredible bike. JSchiers JEDI 29 - Complete Bike 08/13/2025 Easily beat my expectations I had a strong feeling this would outperform my current bike on the downhill, but also the uphill? So pleasantly surprised by how well this climbs. It’s so nimble and flings around so well. Super happy with my purchase. Roger LITHIUM V3 - Complete Bike 08/11/2025 Amazing cranks for stumpy legs, great customer service too These cranks have been a revelation for me - affordable, burly 150mm cranks have genuinely transformed the way the bike feels.
I've got very short legs for my height, and have always struggled with feeling in control of the bike. Dropping from 165mm to these 150mm cranks feels amazing, and they look sick too ??I got silver arms with the orange chainring.
Massive shout out to the customer service as well - from initial enquiries about BB compatibility and sizing up until after delivery, Lance and Lester have been responsive, friendly and helpful at every turn, even with shipping to the UK.
Super-happy with the decision to choose these cranks, strong recommend ?? Mike Canfield Bikes AM Cranks - Black 07/16/2025 Unbelievable Customer Service Hi Ya’ll.
Just purchased a Balance large size frame Balance. It arrived quick and safe! I’m so stoked to start this build. Aside from the frame itself, I want to say a bit about customer service. Three days prior to shipping, Lance Canfield himself phoned me letting me know it was on its way! I’ve never had the owner of a company personally contact me in this way! What a surprise! A few days later I had a a few questions about my build regarding brakes and crank lengths. So I gave them a shout. Guess who answers the phone? Yep Lance. We chat for 20 or so. Lance answered all my questions. Never felt like I was just a customer on the other end of the line. I truly felt like I was valued. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for the customer connection at Canfield. I’m looking forward to finishing this build. Never been prouder to own and ride a new bike.
Scotty Jenkins Scott Jenkins BALANCE - Frameset 06/17/2025 No Excuses Machine I have been riding the One.2 for a year now and its one of my favourite bikes of all time. I have mine set up with DH suspension but paired with an 11 spd derailleur and dropper post. This bike can send anything and it can get you there too. Perfect for heavy shuttle days with a bit of pedalling or bike park secret trails that require a bit of transit

💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Semantic Alignment

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Populate the missing H1 tags on the TILT and LITHIUM collection pages to improve technical SEO structure. Link the Mountain Bike Action March 2026 quote directly to the source article to provide a verifiable proof path. Implement Person schema for Lance Canfield within the JSON-LD to formalize his industry authority. Update the copyright year and legal entity details in the schema to ensure total temporal alignment.

The site perfectly aligns with high-performance cycling retail. Content focuses exclusively on technical mountain bike geometry, suspension kinematics, and components, proving its classification as a specialized Ecommerce entity.

“The score of 11 is driven by the site's refusal to use generic adjectives in place of technical specifications. The only minor penalties stem from missing heading structure on sub-pages and a lack of direct outbound links to the third-party reviews cited in the text.”
