Here's the AI generated summary of the Riot:
The Canfield Riot was a groundbreaking 2015-2017 model known for its aggressive 29er geometry, short chainstays, and "Canfield Balance Formula" suspension, making it a fun, agile, and capable "one-bike" solution for rowdy trail riding and bike park use. Reviewers lauded its excellent climbing traction, playful and snappy handling, and ability to hold speed through rough terrain, although some noted its short rear end could be challenging on extremely blown-out downhill tracks.
Sounds pretty accurate. The bike rips through local stuff such as Demo, UC and further north like Tamarancho, China Camp and Annadel. In the trips to Downieville and Tahoe it's done just fine, in spite of being "only" 140 mm front and rear. That said, I haven't ridden it at Northstar or Mammoth.
