Canyon Stoic 4 2021 on review - A hardtail for MTB beginners?

Jun 2021 · Peter Walker

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!

Highs
  • Comfortable pedalling position

  • Good climber on easy trails

  • Precise and direct handling

Lows
  • Poor build quality

  • Critical spec, especially the wheels and brakes

  • Poor value for money, even in light of the low price
