A can't-go-wrong hardtail for both experienced and new MTB riders
Price
Looks great
Fork spec
External rear brake line routing - no bleeding
Decent hub engagement
170mm dropper on our medium
Solid trail geometry
Versatility
Wheel / tire / rotational weight
Tires too aggressive for many conditions
Cable and hose lengths out of box were long
Stem is unnecessarily complicated

"The Stoic is built with geometry meant for aggressive riding, spec’d to take a beating, go back to do it all again tomorrow..."

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!
Comfortable pedalling position
Good climber on easy trails
Precise and direct handling
Poor build quality
Critical spec, especially the wheels and brakes
Poor value for money, even in light of the low price

A true jack of all trades, the Stoic begs to play and ride terrain you might feel like your current hardtail might not be able to handle.

Canyon Stoic frame is constructed from 6061 alloy, there are 3 models to choose from all built using the same frame, of which this Stoic 4 is the flagship.
Superb balanced handling
BB could be lower

Fast geometry and a solid build kit have allowed Canyon to maximise the descending capability of a rigid-framed bike
Modern geometry
Well-considered componentry
Versatile, gravity loving all-rounder
Aluminium frame can be harsh
Long, low shape has trade-offs with snappy handling

Equipped with a 140mm fork, chunky tyres and slack geometry, Canyon's new hardcore hardtail aims to bring Spectral-like capability into a simpler and cheaper package. To see just how capable it is for the money, we put the new Stoic 4 to the test on both the trail and the street. Read on for our Canyon Stoic review!
Tough, no-nonsense alloy frame
Spot-on geometry
RockShox Pike is such a good performer
Sticky, durable and well-damped tyres
Heavy duty wheelset
Terrific overall value for money
Frame protection is severely lacking
We'd love a saddle with more cushioning
The auto-ejecting bottle cage

| Stem | HL TDS, By pairing a short (40mm) Iridium stem with a longer frame reach, we've created a cockpit that center the rider more effectively on the bike. |
