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?

Canyon evolves their carbon Lux Trail downcountry bike with more capable, longer-travel overhaul, adding a top CFR-tier and internal storage…

Nov 2023
For 2024 the Canyon Lux Trail receives a brand new carbon frame that features internal storage and radically improved suspension performance.
Fantastic suspension
Efficient pedalling manners
Responsive handling
Clever storage solutions
Great value spec throughout the 6-model lineup
Not the most forgiving ride
Cockpit ergonomics could be better
Headset cable routing
Storage accessories aren't included

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.
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
