Making Bubba gump tap out
 
Default Canfield Jedi 36.8lbs this seasons ride.

Got my new frame in and built it up yesterday.
IMPRESSED! Pedals, corners and is super nimble.

Corners faster than the F1 and pedals effeciently no too mention it has the same crushing power as the F1 for mowing over stuff and big landings. It accellerates outa berms.
Basically it took the landing and gnar factor of the F1 and made it corner and pedal too!

Wow, killer bike.

I take it there isn't much chain slap due to the upper pulley? Is that what it is for?

Very nice! Love those white hoops!

But can you close your eyes, use The Force, and win a DH on that thing?

I've been thinking about one for a while now... It's definitely one of the coolest looking DH/FR bikes IMO.

What bikes would you say this compares to in terms of pedaling?

7.75" of travel 2.5" of rearward arch, pulley wheel is to eliminate chain growth and pedal feedback ie braking/squatting, no the force will not help you unfortunently , and the roco wc air is sweet!
It feels really close to a coil and so far is butter, Ronnie went through it at marz before I ever left and hepled me tune it.

None that i have ridden, the Jedi F1 is different then the reg F1 of last year. The original feels like a demo on steroids, the Jedi is undescribable as far as another bike. It corners like my armageddon and pedals like a trail bike (best way to describe it) and lands like a reg F1. Its a monster of a bike between fast acceleration and big hit capacity!
Ive ridden karpiels, RM7's, bullits, V-10's MC shckwaves and faiths + a few more and this bike is unique!
It pedals like no DH/FR bike Ive ridden to date, it actually pedals and it corners super sweet! There isn't a comaprison that Im aware of yet other than G hamilton even said this is the bike he'd ride at worlds as well as a few other pros.
I had doubt to some degree after talking to Chris about it, being the F1 was the ultimate bike thusfar for me. After slapping a leg over it Im sold it is everyhting he said and then some.

That's a sweet rig! I had the pleasure of pedalling it around today and I was impressed how super plush the Rocco air rides.

Sweet ride BC

I have always liked the F1's, sounds like the Jedi is a nice steep up.

What's the head tube angle on that bike, also, the bottom bracket height? Looks somewhat steep?

Sweet rig. We bumped into Chris Canfield this past weekend at Bootleg and he was rocking a new Jedi. Good looking bike.

65 degrees, bb is 14". I think the seat being up also gives the illusion of it being steeper. To parrallel lines!
