Is Canyon’s half new and half old Lux Trail CF8 the full package when it comes to downcountry mountain biking?
Excellent AXS wireless component spec for the money
Benchmark DT Swiss carbon wheel and Maxxis tire team
Combined suspension lockout
Stretched straight-line stability
Double big bottle space
Super neat chain keeper
Tidy steering lock stopper
Tool free wheel removal
Under leveraged shock is too stiff
Overly linear suspension feel once moving
Tangible power loss when pedaling
Excessive seat tube height restricts size options
Long reach needs a shorter stem/steeper seat angle
Harsh bar feel
Direct buy only

Is a new front triangle enough to move a more traditional XC bike into the downcountry category?
Excellent value
'Traditional' pedaling position will appeal to those who don't like steep seat angles
Chain guide and bar rotation limiter are well executed
Not particularly confidence inspiring on the descents
Long reach with slack seat tube can make sizing difficult
Heavy considering the spec

Why does Daz think this Canyon Lux Trail CF 8 might be the best value bike in this category that you can buy?

Most brands just add travel to their XC bikes to make a trail version, but the Canyon Lux Trail has an entirely new front triangle.

This is a first ride review based on a very limited time on the bike. Once I've been able to spend more time out on the trails, I'll bring you a full review.

It's firm and fast, and light but built to last. Canyon's new Lux Trail trail bike has come to stay and play on North Shore Tech-C trails.

Limited edition Canyon Lux DT is the first to make DT Swiss' all-new 232 XC mountain bike suspension available, including Its lightweight dropper seatpost!
Dec 2019
Adorned with 29in wheels and 100mm of rear wheel travel, the Lux is Canyon's super light, full suspension XC speedster. Brand new for 2019, the latest generation Lux has been completely re-engineered with a new carbon fibre chassis that shares very little in common with the old model. Read on for the full review.
The lightweight, practical and spacious frame design
Fantastic power transfer
Razor-sharp handling
Love the trick Quixle rear axle!
Dual lockout creates a very stiff, awkward lever throw
The SID fork isn't the most supple performer
The unloveable Selle Italia saddle
