Review: 2023 Canyon Neuron CF 9

May 2023 · Henry Quinney

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.

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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 Neuron CF9 SL

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?
