Most brands just add travel to their XC bikes to make a trail version, but the Canyon Lux Trail has an entirely new front triangle.

Quickly up to speed and with no kit compromises, I loved the Lux on all but the steepest descents
Snappy acceleration and impressive climbing performance
Kit list is unrivalled in this test
More traditional geometry means tackling the latest XC courses will require sharp handling skills
Non-adjustable bar wasn’t as comfy as the rest on test, although it looks great!

Relatively speaking, it feels like you’re a long way over the front of the Lux when descending and, while I tried riding with and without the seat down, I was really glad this bike had a dropper post for steeper sections.
Ultra efficient feel on smooth, less technical climbs
Shimano XTR gear ratios, great shifting under load
It has a dropper, even if the setup isn't ideal
$2,500 USD less than the closest priced bike
Relatively harsh feeling suspension
Geo holds it back when the terrain is challenging

Adorned with 29in wheels and 100mm of rear wheel travel, the Lux is Canyon's super light, full suspension XC speedster. Brand new for 2019, the latest generation Lux has been completely re-engineered with a new carbon fibre chassis that shares very little in common with the old model. Read on for the full review.
The lightweight, practical and spacious frame design
Fantastic power transfer
Razor-sharp handling
Love the trick Quixle rear axle!
Dual lockout creates a very stiff, awkward lever throw
The SID fork isn't the most supple performer
The unloveable Selle Italia saddle

Canyon's Lux CF SL 8.0 Race is a super high value and blisteringly quick cross-country race bike that can also take some rapid trail riding in its stride. The suspension and geometry work well for the intended task but the Gripshifter is a very odd component choice that undermines control and needs changing. The best mountain bikes you can buy for under £1,500 - full sus and hardtails Is it worth converting your mountain bike to tubeless?

Canyon Lux CF SLX 9.0 Pro Race sticks to 100mm of rear wheel but it now has both 100mm and 110mm front travel options dependent which model you choose.
Almost perfect balance of XC race weight and trail bike handling.
Component spec.
Climbs like you have a motor.
Handlebar could be a little wider.

The Canyon Lux CF SL isn't just the latest XC ripper, it's also the lightest full suspension race bike that that Canyon has ever produced
