The legend returns, reborn for a new era of gravity riding. The Canfield Jedi is back, and it’s rolling faster than ever as the Jedi 29. For riders serious about downhill (DH), this isn’t just an evolution; it’s a revolution. While 29-inch wheels are a significant part of the story, the all-new Jedi represents a ground-up redesign, refining every aspect of what made the original a downhill icon. Prepare to experience a machine that redefines what you thought possible on a DH bike.

The Legacy of a Downhill Legend, Elevated
Canfield Bikes boasts a 20-year heritage in downhill innovation, tracing back to the pioneering Big Fat Fatty Fat prototypes. This deep expertise in gravity bikes informs every detail of the Jedi 29. Lance Canfield, with decades of experience in rearward axle-path multi-link designs, set out to create the ultimate DH bike, building upon the strengths of its predecessors while pushing performance boundaries. The result is a DH bike that not only meets but shatters expectations.
29″ Wheels and Rearward Axle Path: The Formula for Unrivaled Speed
Like its forerunners, the Canfield Jedi 29 is engineered to dominate any downhill course. The core of its speed advantage lies in the Canfield Formula 1 suspension design, featuring a rearward axle path. This innovative system allows the Jedi to maintain momentum and even accelerate through demanding terrain, setting it apart from conventional Dh Bikes. The addition of 29-inch wheels amplifies this effect, delivering increased speed and smoother handling across rough sections. Crucially, a refined axle path ensures the Jedi 29 retains agility and responsiveness in corners and jumps, offering a ride that is both incredibly fast and remarkably intuitive.
Rider-Focused Geometry for Precision Handling
The Jedi 29’s updated geometry is centered around the rider, fostering a balanced and composed feel at high speeds and during aerial maneuvers. This DH bike inspires confidence to push limits, yet its precise handling ensures effortless changes in direction and sharp cornering. The Jedi 29 reacts telepathically to rider input, making even the most challenging downhill trails feel more manageable and exhilarating.

Advanced Suspension Kinematics: Fine-Tuned for Peak Performance
Canfield Bikes stands as a pioneer in high-pivot, multi-link suspension systems, a technology they’ve championed since the late 90s. Unlike many high-pivot designs that utilize single-pivot variations, the Jedi’s multi-link layout allows for meticulous control over suspension kinematics. This eliminates the compromises often inherent in single-pivot DH bikes.
The Jedi 29’s suspension features a revised leverage rate for enhanced small-bump sensitivity at the beginning of the stroke. Simultaneously, a more progressive end-stroke provides a seamless and bottomless feel on big impacts. Improved mid-stroke support translates to a more responsive and playful ride. Near-zero chain growth ensures pedal feedback is isolated from suspension forces, contributing to a smooth and efficient feel. Braking performance is also optimized with reduced anti-rise, resulting in predictable and neutral handling under braking. Furthermore, refined anti-squat delivers exceptional pedaling efficiency for a bike so focused on gravity performance.
Experience the Force of the Jedi 29
The Canfield Jedi 29 is more than just a downhill bike; it’s the culmination of two decades of relentless innovation and refinement. It represents the pinnacle of DH bike technology, offering unparalleled speed, control, and handling. Dare to unleash the force within – experience the Canfield Jedi 29 and redefine your downhill riding.
