Summary
The Canyon Neuron is a versatile trail bike that balances efficiency and agility, making it suitable for a wide range of riders and terrains. Its 130mm travel suspension offers a supple ride with good small-bump sensitivity and efficient pedaling. While it excels in climbing and moderate terrain, some reviews note limitations in steep or technical descents due to its geometry and tire spec.

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?
Fully-sealed linkage bearings
Weak performance uphill despite the focus on tours
Permanently overwhelmed downhill
Despite the attractive price and high-quality components, only poor value for money

Superbly equipped for epic XC/Trail
Geometry suits intended riders really well
Flexy when pushed or pedalled hard

XTR brakes can be temperamental

How does the updated Neuron AL compare to its more expensive doppelganger the Neuron CF?
Supportive suspension lets you push hard and the spec is impressive
Geometry needs updating and the tyres might not be best suited to wetter climates or rougher terrain

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.
Clean, attractive frame. Excellent suspension.
Sizing and geometry hobble the Neuron on technical trails. Some spec choices are questionable.

Capable & comfortable all-round handling
Fantastic suspension quality front & rear
The organic pedal efficiency
Practical, well-considered frame detailing
Seat tube is still too long!
Minimalist chainstay protector is too minimalist
