The 66-degree head angle is slack enough, and will give the right feeling for people who probably have a more classic version of trail biking in mind, rather than riding more extreme trails on a lighter bike.
Fast, efficient climber with sharp handling
Good value, with plenty of spec options in Europe
Has a lot of balance for true trail riding
Some great frame features
Like a very, very capable XC bike
Suspension choices don't match up to the geometry
Not as capable as other trail bikes of the same travel
Developed creaks early on in the test period

Canyon hits the nail on the head with this true all-rounder that will tackle a wide variety of trails and give you a wonderful time doing so
Neat frame integration
Covers ground fast, yet can still get loose
Reasonable price considering the spec
Powerful brakes
Frame has limitations
Stiff handlebars

More trail-friendly than a Lux, not as burly as a Spectral, the Neuron is Canyon’s bread and butter mountain bike. How does it respond to getting hit with the Longer/Slacker/More stick?

The Neuron is now lighter, tougher and more capable than ever

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
