Our US correspondent takes the Canyon Strive CF 7.0 for a tour of the UK. Would this shapeshifter bike serve all his bike needs in one?

0 downhill, all you have to do to actuate its DH mode is hit the Clack button and let the rear wheel batter into the first bump.. .
New Shapeshifter is easy to use and works well
Rear suspension feels composed and controlled
Dynamic, lively and playful ride
Wheels could be more forgiving
Fox’s FIT4 fork damper isn’t my favourite

The Strive CFR 9.0 may look like an enduro race bike, but it's actually a lively trail bike.
Great value
Great pedaling and climbing manners
Sharp handling and lively feel
