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?

The shape-shifting Strive 29er has two geometries - one for going up and the other for going down - and it serves up excellent direct to consumer value...

The Strive might not feel quite as capable on the downs as the best bikes in this category, but the impressive spec and superb all-rounder capabilities make it a serious amount of fun on the trails
Shapeshifter is easy to use and makes a real difference on the climbs
Well balanced, composed suspension feel
Easy to ride and loads of fun
Geometry feels quite reserved compared to similarly intended bikes
G2 brakes lack a bit of oomph compared to Code equivalents

Great value
Great pedaling and climbing manners
Sharp handling and lively feel

The ultimate enduro race bike.
Shapeshifter versatility.
Kickass value.
Race-ready spec.
Eye candy.
Crummy chainstay guard.
