Canyon Grand Canyon AL 4.0 review

Aug 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Light and lively traditional XC machine at a good price, but unsuitable for rougher play. Buy if you're a fan of more traditional XC riding and aren't tempted by the toughest of terrain

Highs
  • Light, lively and well-equipped bike in a classic XC-speed style

  • Frame is dated but still rides really smoothly if the shape suits you

Lows
  • Traditional handling and lack of easy dropper post addition undermine rough-riding confidence

  • No local shop support
