The Lux is extra-efficient and suited to long days of pedaling, just as long as the terrain doesn't get too technical.
Efficient and comfortable pedal platform
Good geometry for mellow pursuits
Clever, well-integrated frame details
Poor performance in technical terrain
Size-specific rear center would be nice

Canyon has updated the Lux platform and the Trail CFR pictured here utilises a revised frameset with 115mm of rear travel and design elements that make it suitable for all-day marathon rides or racing. The Lux has been a lot of fun to ride and is quite capable but it has left me more conflicted than any other bike I've recently tested with constant questions about components and prospective changes. Despite its name, Canyon has not classified the Lux as a trail bike – so where does this fit in among Canyon's line up and the best mountain bikes on the market?

The Lux World Cup is claimed to be the lightest in the world, with the frame weighing just 1,535 grams.
May 2023 · Jeff Barber
The Canyon Lux Trail isn't a short-travel trail bike; it's more precisely a long-travel XC mountain bike.
Lightweight and efficient pedaler
Comfortable and capable descender
Great value
Geometry is not particularly progressive
Needs a better dropper remote
Only one frame color available with the CF 7 build

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.
