BELLINGHAM, Wash. (BRAIN) — Canfield Brothers is offering the second generation of the Yelli Screamy, a hardtail 29er with long and laid-back geometry that the company said has influenced many larger bike makers.
The company said the Yelli Screamy was the first production 29er to feature sub-17-inch chainstays. The result was a playful and nimble bike with big wheels, the company said. The chainstays remain at 16.7 inches and the headtube is a relaxed 67 degrees with a 140-millimeter fork.
The second generation Yelli Screamy features all-new tubing crafted from 6061 series aluminum, stealth dropper post routing, a 142x12 rear thru-axle, and ISCG mounts. It is compatible with single-chainring drivetrains.
"The original Yelli was the 29er that we wanted to ride," said Lance Canfield, owner and designer. "It didn't exist, so we built it. It's fun up, down, in the air, pretty much anywhere you want to take it. Just because it's a hardtail 29er doesn't mean you should ride it like one.
"This bike is all about fun, and people ride it just as hard as they do their 6-inch bikes," said Lance. "We wanted to make it just as easy to build it up to match."
A new chainstay yoke provides greater clearance and the ability to run modern drivetrain configurations, specifically 1x setups with a chainguide. It also allow high-volume tires.
Available in five anodized colors and two limited edition colors in S, M, L and XL, the Yelli Screamy frame retails for $650 at CanfieldBrothers.com.
