The Canyon Strive won our last enduro bike group test. However, a lot of new bikes have been released since and we were very excited to see whether the former test winner with its unique Shapeshifter could stay at the top!
Balanced handling
Equal measures of fun and composure
Good value for money
Seat tube angle could be steeper
FIT4 damper instead of the GRIP2 in the fork

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
