  • Predictable handling

  • Excellent value for money

  • Very comfortable

  • Excellent rear suspension

Lows
  • Uncomfortable saddle

  • Brakes lack power

  • Spokes loosened on the rear wheel

Canyon Neuron AL 7.0: first ride review - MBR

Apr 2020 · Danny Milner

Canyon Neuron AL range consists of two models – the AL 6.0 and the AL 7.0. There's a women-specific version of each, with gender-specific contact points.

Highs
  • Clean, attractive frame. Excellent suspension.

Lows
  • Sizing and geometry hobble the Neuron on technical trails. Some spec choices are questionable.
