A can't-go-wrong hardtail for both experienced and new MTB riders
Price
Looks great
Fork spec
External rear brake line routing - no bleeding
Decent hub engagement
170mm dropper on our medium
Solid trail geometry
Versatility
Wheel / tire / rotational weight
Tires too aggressive for many conditions
Cable and hose lengths out of box were long
Stem is unnecessarily complicated

"The Stoic is built with geometry meant for aggressive riding, spec’d to take a beating, go back to do it all again tomorrow..."

Do you even need a full suspension mountain bike to have fun on the trail? With their progressive Stoic hardtail, Canyon want to offer an accessible gateway to the trail riding dimension. Retailing at € 1,699, the Stoic 4 features an alloy frame, rolls on 29” wheels and offers 140 mm travel at the front. After putting the Canyon through the wringer, we can tell you whether it's a sensible and affordable alternative to a full suspension bike or even just an exciting trail rocket!

Canyon Stoic frame is constructed from 6061 alloy, there are 3 models to choose from all built using the same frame, of which this Stoic 4 is the flagship.
Superb balanced handling
BB could be lower
Mar 2021 · Ed Thomsett
Fast geometry and a solid build kit have allowed Canyon to maximise the descending capability of a rigid-framed bike
Modern geometry
Well-considered componentry
Versatile, gravity loving all-rounder
Aluminium frame can be harsh
Long, low shape has trade-offs with snappy handling

Equipped with a 140mm fork, chunky tyres and slack geometry, Canyon's new hardcore hardtail aims to bring Spectral-like capability into a simpler and cheaper package. To see just how capable it is for the money, we put the new Stoic 4 to the test on both the trail and the street. Read on for our Canyon Stoic review!
Tough, no-nonsense alloy frame
Spot-on geometry
RockShox Pike is such a good performer
Sticky, durable and well-damped tyres
Heavy duty wheelset
Terrific overall value for money
Frame protection is severely lacking
We'd love a saddle with more cushioning
The auto-ejecting bottle cage

Canyon's all-new progressive Stoic trail hardtails take affordable mountain bikes to new level, beyond XC's reach to a all-rounder sweet spot!
| Frame | Canyon Stoic, Long, low, and slack geometry pair well with a bomber, aluminum chassis to create a bike that begs to be thrown around, ridden hard, and put away wet. Tire Clearance: 2.8" Color: Avalanche White |
|---|---|
| Fork | SR Suntour XCR 34 29" AIR Boost, SR Suntour's 140mm-travel XCR 34 fork features a stout chassis, no nonsense build quality, and easily-tuned air-spring. Travel: 140mm Spring Type: Air |
| Stem | HL TDS, By pairing a short (40mm) Iridium stem with a longer frame reach, we've created a cockpit that center the rider more effectively on the bike. |
| Handlebar | HL MTB, Short stem, wide (780mm) bars, and just the right rise (20mm)--the Stoic's cockpit is dialed for aggressive trail riding. |
| Saddle | VELO VL-1589 |
| Seatpost | HL SP218, Seatpost length 450mm, diameter 30.9 mm Type: Rigid |
| Pedals | None included |
| Grips | VELO VLG-311D2, Width 130mm |
| Rear Derailleur | Shimano Deore M6000 GS, Shimano's short cage, Deore rear derailleur delivers quality performance that belies its modest price. |
|---|---|
| Crank | ProWheel Charm, ProWheel's aluminum crankset is Boost 148 compatible and features short (170mm) crankarms that reduce pedal strikes. |
| Shifters | Shimano Deore M6000 10s, Shimano Deore 10-speed shifters are reliable and precise. |
| Cassette | Shimano Deore M4100 10-S, Shimano's 11-42 casette gives you a 382% gear range--more than enough to tackle big rides and climbs, no front derailleur required. |
| Chain | KMC X10-93 10s, Durable half nickel plated chain. |
| Brakes | Shimano MT200, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are a rarity at this pricepoint, but the Stoic 2 delivers. Type: Shimano Hydraulic Disc |
| Rims | Alex Rims DP30 / Shimano MT400 Center Lock, We paired wide (30mm) and tough alloy rims with the proven reliability of Shimano hubs. |
|---|---|
| Tires | Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35", The original all-rounder, the Hans Dampf rolls quick yet offers reliable traction in a wide range of conditions. | Schwalbe Magic Mary Evo Super Trail, Stoic is spearheaded by an all-time gravity favorite, the Magic Mary. The new Super Trail casing boosts puncture resistance yet keeps weight low. |
| Disc Rotors | Shimano Tourney TX front rotor, A big Shimano RT830 brake rotor delivers equally big stopping power. | Shimano RT10, Shimano's 180mm RT10 rotor provides a good balance of stopping power and modulation. |
