I still have my 2014 Jedi. Still rips hard! I wish the bros were still together as they are legendary IMHO, so it means a lot to me to have a Canfield "Brothers" frame. I got mine in matte black and it's all murdered out. The OG high-pivot trail destroyer.

Cool to see more and more Öhlins gear on bikes

[echambee]

Just by your tone I couldn't be less excited.

Love this ! Dh Bike reviews are just the most interesting !

[kangsterizer]

to the point review and includes actual drawbacks, what is this, an honest review?! nice.

[howejohn]

why isn't this published? I thought the downhill field test went the way of the grim doughnut v2.

I dropped into a stage of an enduro last summer behind Chris Canfield. I tried to hold his wheel as long as possible, but he completely disappeared after the second corner. He's really good at bikes, and the bikes he makes are really nice.

Mullet & an mrp progressive coil. Sorted.

Would love to see a comparison of all the DH bikes running an idler, including the Darkmatter 👍

Full 29 DH bike, definitely sounds like a full on DH race bike. The too linear back end is a common theme with Canfields in my experience, I demoed a Lithium last year and it too was far too linear out back.

Looking to buy a new DH rig soon and I’m leaning towards this bad boi right here. Thanks for the info on this bike guys!

My last bike was a 2014 jedi, thing ripped. But I sold it for a 2022 transition sentinel for the extra versatility of an all mountain bike

Are we doing a DH bike roundup here? Where the intro vid? What the frig is going on

[tehsimo]

I used to have a Jedi, very nice bike

[nhajkin]

Dude you made me laugh when you said riding to and from the chairlift was hard!

[civilstructural]

to me this Jedi bike is the original High Pivot modern bike.

[antrace]

If the bike is hard to master, IMHO it's better if it has a twitchy steering.
My mullet demo has the same head angle and it's perfect.
My only complaint is the suspension too damn linear. But it's kinda OK with a stiffer spring

[juha-mattiaho]

Nice saddle-tyre action in huck to flat.

[AluinKali]

Wonder if the Mouse has anything to say about that name. I’m no expert but Lucasfilm filed a Trademark for Jedi so I would assume Disney owns it now.

I am 5 feet 7. Is this bike to small for me?
