Canyon Neuron CF SLX 9 in review - Canyon’s smash-hit in a tough test field

Jun 2021 · By

Launched in 2018, the Canyon Neuron is no stranger to ENDURO. Over the past three years, we've tested Canyon's bestseller in all possible versions and specs. But where does it sit compared to the latest and greatest mountain bikes of 2021? Can the Canyon Neuron CF SLX 9 still deliver on the trail?

Highs
  • Fully-sealed linkage bearings

Lows
  • Weak performance uphill despite the focus on tours

  • Permanently overwhelmed downhill

  • Despite the attractive price and high-quality components, only poor value for money

Canyon Neuron AL 7.0: first ride review - MBR

Canyon Neuron AL range consists of two models – the AL 6.0 and the AL 7.0. There's a women-specific version of each, with gender-specific contact points.
