The story…
CANAAN is the location of the world’s fi rst 24-hour
mountain bike team relay race. This wicked course
consisted of wet root and mud covered rock
descents where riders were heard to pray for the
fi re-road climbs so they could recover. The event
could be summed up as an outlet for hardcore
mountain bike enthusiasts to test themselves (and
their equipment) and spawned a generation of
riders always searching for how far they could go.
The 24 Hours of CANAAN capped out at 500 teams
of which typically only a few were pro level. In
honor of this place that started the ultra distance
love affair with dirt, Mongoose
®
has set out to
design the ride that can suit the pro but is also
keeping the everyday rider in mind.....
Custom-tuned FreeDrive design with emphasis on
good pedaling yet compliant traction. 100mm of
travel front and rear (not too much, not too little)
keying in on effi ciency and control. The engineers
at Mongoose can massage the FreeDrive system
to suit any conditions, and in the case of the
CANAAN, they’ve maximized traction for climbs
and enhanced control for fl ats and downhills.
The geometry of the CANAAN is suited for every-
day trail riding as well as race day. 69.5 degree
head angle and a low slung center of gravity make
for rock solid handling at high speed and steep de-
scents. This handling also makes the bike more
stable at the end of an endurance fest when your
senses are getting hazy.
Shooting for that harmony between hardcore
frame strength yet light-weight construction, the
CANAAN resounds with both the weight geek and
the back country freak. All pivot locations use a
common 5 mm allen wrench and easily sourced
bearings from any local bike store. Dual disc
specifi c design…all conditions reliable braking
that goes the distance.
