The Canyon Neuron is a versatile and lightweight trail bike that excels in climbing and efficient pedaling, with a suspension system that provides good support and comfort across varied terrain. It offers excellent value with high-quality components and a carbon frame, making it suitable for a wide range of riders from beginners to experienced enthusiasts.

Canyon’s killer value Neuron CF 9.0 SL is about big miles and vast vistas not big air and rad verts.

The Canyon Neuron is an exercise in balance and the easy-going ride will delight intermediate riders.
Enduro Mountainbike Magazine logoEnduro Mountainbike Magazine
The Neuron excels on the climbs and performs well on the descents on all but the rowdiest of terrain.
Outdoor Gear Lab logoOutdoor Gear Lab
The Neuron is balanced and nimble, a versatile modern day cross-country trail bike that doesn't make one feel as if they need to be lining up to a race as much as having a good time on the trails.

Canyon Neuron CF 9.0 SL review

Sep 2019 · Alex Evans

A fantastic bit of kit for XC riders with a penchant to get a little rad and rowdy some of the time. Its geometry is fairly conservative though, but the bike is comfortable and composed in most situations on both the descents and ascents.

Highs
  • Value for money, great suspension and should appeal to a fairly broad range of people

Lows
  • Conservative geometry and its intentions can sometimes outgun its ability
