Canyon Lux Trail CF8 review

Jan 2022 · Guy Kesteven

Is Canyon’s half new and half old Lux Trail CF8 the full package when it comes to downcountry mountain biking?

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Field Test: 2022 Canyon Lux Trail - A Revised Racer

Dec 2021 · Henry Quinney

Is a new front triangle enough to move a more traditional XC bike into the downcountry category?

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • Not particularly confidence inspiring on the descents

  • Long reach with slack seat tube can make sizing difficult

  • Heavy considering the spec
