Pros
  1. Excellent price for almost perfect spec
  2. Inspires huge amounts of confidence downhill
  3. Suspension offers great reserves support

Generous sizing, progressive angles and Canyon's effective Shapeshifter tech make the new Strive an enduro force to be reckoned with.

Pros
  1. Two bikes in one. Energy saving tech that doesn’t compromise DH ability. Solid chassis. Adjustable fit. BB is super low.
Cons
  1. You need to put the effort in to make it work. Short chainstays could make it difficult to find a balance on largest frame sizes. XTR brake pads rattle. BB is super low.

Cons
  1. Even in the pedal mode, the seat tube could be steeper
  2. Shapeshifter is a potential reliability concern in the long term
