Loves to climb and fast on the flat, but loses points when tracks get steep and techy – and the lack of a dropper is a real shame
Climbs like a machine
Excels on fast, smooth tracks
High spec for the money
No dropper post
Rebound dial tricky to access
Skittish on steep downhill tech

The Lux World Cup is claimed to be the lightest in the world, with the frame weighing just 1,535 grams.

Featuring a new frame and improved geometry, the Canyon Lux World Cup is a lightweight and efficient XC bike at a very good price.
Incredibly lightweight frame & build
Stompable pedal efficiency
Superb handling & weight distribution
High-end CeramicSpeed bearings
Stonking build for the money
Firm ride quality can be unforgiving
Fox 32 SC feels a little under-gunned
Canyon still doesn't include tubeless valves or sealant

Mathieu van der Poel rides a Canyon Lux World Cup Team, not races, as he hasn’t done a top-level mountain bike race this year.

With the paint barely dry on the brand new Lux World Cup CFR Team, it should come as no surprise that it’s a modern XC race bike packed with all of Canyons latest tech, designed to be one of the best cross country mountain bikes out there. Need to know: Quick Release levers front and rear make wheel swaps or puncture repairs faster Full carbon frame with carbon shock extender and rocker link Self lubricating Ceramic Speed SLT bearings on all suspension pivots for increased durability Tube in tube cable routing offers an elegant, rattle free ride As the name suggests, the frame uses CFR level carbon, Canyon’s premium weave, to save weight without compromising on stiffness and it’s exclusive to the Team and top-end LTD model at £7,599 How much lighter is the CFR Lux frame than the CF? 390g to be precise. As such, our size L test rig tipped the scales at a scant 10.71kg, set up tubeless with two bottle cages fitted. The bottles and cages are supplied with the bike, and you also get a torque wrench and shock pump so you’ll be off to the races with minimal fuss. The frame uses a flex stay suspension design to deliver 100mm of travel, as it’s lighter than having additional pivots. Because the shock is mounted under the top tube (actually it sits in a slight recess on the underside of the tube) Canyon has achieved one of the most direct routings for the remote lock out. Neat as it is, this makes getting at the rebound adjuster really tricky. Canyon seems to have thought of everything though, as the bike has Allen key mounted on the front brake hose for poking the adjuster. Having the shock high in the frame also allows for more space lower in the front triangle, which is key to the Canyon being able to comfortably carry two water bottles. Other neat features include the steering lock headset, which Canyon has dubbed the Impact Protection Unit 2.0. It’s a great idea as it should prevent the carbon XTR brake levers or shifter pods smashing into the top-tube in the event of a crash. There’s also a mini-chain guide to ensure that the chain doesn’t jump off the 34t Race Face chain ring that’s cinched onto the carbon Next SL chain set. Yes, the frame uses a Pressfit bottom bracket, but not any old bottom bracket: a Ceramic Speed BB that’s guaranteed to reduce power loss. At the slender rear dropouts you’ll find a 160mm flat mount for the brake calliper and a SRAM universal derailleur hanger on the drive-side. So whether you’re making up the numbers at a local race or jet setting around the world, you’ll always be able to replace a bent hanger. And while the 2.35in Maxxis Ikon tyres are the fattest in test, the Canyon also has the most generous clearance, so those 29in wheels are much less likely to grind to halt in muddy race conditions. …Continue reading »
Fast and efficient, light, Ceramic Speed bearings.
Soft-tail suspension. Difficult to fit a dropper post, unless it's a wireless AXS Reverb.

It’s longer and slacker like everything else these days, but don’t call it a downcountry bike.
