agreed that the Jedi looks dope, and i'm sure it rides just as well. it is a bit strange to see the "DH" bike with 7.75" of travel. i'm sure it will hold up just fine.
gotta admit, "the one" is growing on me.
They do indeed. If I recall correctly one of the models has 2.5" of rearward movement. I've gotta say I'm pretty stoked on the new suspension design.Don't Canfield's have a lot of rearward wheel travel though? I'm sure that 7.75" feels like a lot more.
And yes, The One is growing on me as well.
Come on, you and I both know that fool (flymybike) couldn't huck a garbage can!!!! Dude works at 7-11 and reads mtb action while popping a 32oz slurpee.^^^ if anyone would know
That's a pretty big bite you got there for a chiwawa !Come on, you and I both know that fool (flymybike) couldn't huck a garbage can!!!! Dude works at 7-11 and reads mtb action while popping a 32oz slurpee.
Damn posers!!!!!!!!!
Whats up Lance?
Yo quiero taco bell!!!!!That's a pretty big bite you got there for a chiwawa !
LMAO! A coke/blue cherry mix make for the ultimate brainfreeze.I fill my Camelback with slurpee. It's the best way to refuel! If I drink 2 32 oz ers I can levitate.
Nice, I can't wait to try it out.Chris and Lance let me take the Jedi proto for several runs here in Utah.
I want everyone to know, I have no ties to the Canfields. They are friends that I have ridden with, off and on for years, but in no way am I being prompted to say anything about this bike. (No Sponsorship, high fives, or free beer)..this is just me being honest.
I have ridden and raced about everything on the planet when it comes to DH bikes over the course of the last 8 years. (Turner, Kona, Intense M1, Scott High Octane, Demo, Ventana, V10, Sunday) All of which are good for certain things. I feel like I know more than most when it comes to suspension design, race geometry, construction do's and dont's, etc.
If someone were to say "Ok...we want you to race the world cup circut, you can have ANY bike you want"... Without hesitation, It would be the Jedi. I swear that bike made me 5 sec. faster. It accelerates over rough stuff due to the rearward wheel path. But because of it's super short chain stays, it remains nimble and very quick. It's the fastest bike I have ever ridden. As most of you know, most bikes with rearward tend to feel sluggish, and slow. They tend to corner weird due to the wheelbase getting longer in the corners as opposed to getting shorter. They feel like a huge plow. Somehow, they found a way to make that crazy rearward wheel path work. The 7.5 inches feels super deep. The suspension ramp is perfect. You can get to the bottom of it, but you have to try really hard. Bottom line is, it rips. It's super stable at speed, tracks amazing, corners really tight, and is super stiff.
I have sponsors who will be pissed to see this post. Hopefully they won't get too bent. I truly believe Chris and Lance have built an amazing thing here. I know they have been working on the details for years. It's finally here.
All I can say is wow. WOW.
