Canyon is far from a newbie when it comes to building e-bikes, the direct sales brand has arguably the best electric mountain bike out there, in the Spectral:ON CF9. What it hasn’t had until now though is a lightweight bike with a mid-powered motor, so step forward the Neuron:ONfly, a short-travel e-bike taking Canyon into the modern era. Check out our full range breakdown, prices and more details on the new bike for the full Canyon Neuron:ONfly family. Neuron:ONfly need to know Trail or adventure e-bike with the latest Bosch SX motor 140mm travel and 29in wheels front and rear (XS size gets 130mm) Four full-carbon models, from top-spec LTD to CF7 at £4,649. This CF9 model costs £6,699 Five sizes, from XS to XL, topping out at 510mm reach 19.9kg claimed weight on CF9 tested 400Wh fixed internal battery, plus optional 250Wh range extender Bosch SX boasts 55Nm torque and 600 watts peak power, if you pedal hard Canyon Neuron:On Fly – lightweight, middleweight or flyweight? The first thing to point out is that, while the Neuron:ONfly uses the new lightweight Bosch SX motor, it’s not that light for the category, at 19.9kg. There are plenty of new e-bikes that are either lighter or boast more travel, like the Whyte E-Lyte and new Mondraker Dune XR, but crucially both those bikes are significantly more money. The Dune’s frame is also claimed to be much lighter, 2,650g without motor and shock to the Neuron:ONfly’s 3,300g. Instead of focussing on a bike’s weight, the idea is more to target the feel of pedalling a regular bike, and to do that one motor stands head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion – the Bosch’s SX. It’s one of the most natural feeling motors out there and really does match the power coming from your legs, whether you’re soft pedalling or powering up a fireroad. Good though the SX is then, and I have to say it is extremely good, it does come with some drawbacks. It’s very small, but the motor is only 900g lighter than the full-power CX unit, and a big 400Wh is non-negotiable here – go SX and you have to take this big and heavy battery pack. Of course none of this is necessarily a bad thing, it’s great to see that Canyon hasn’t chased a headline weight like Scott did with the Lumen, and built a bike that’s too good for its own parts. There are no flimsy tyres (something that tripped it up with the Neuron:ON last year) XC suspension components, dinky rotors or just plain old small sizing. No, what I’m saying is that there has to be a reason to justify using a lightweight motor over a full power unit, and Canyon’s hanging its hat on ride feel. Neuron:On Fly Frame It’s only been a year since Canyon released the Neuron:ON, a full power version of the Fly here sharing the same travel and a whole lot more besides. There’s no way …Continue reading »

In a crowded segment, Canyon’s Neuron:ON CF 8 stakes its claim as the versatility and distance-focused trail bike. Realised through several specific geometry and component choices, as well as its suspension travel, the brand has successfully hit those aims as it can comfortably traverse all terrain in a fun and responsive manner. While Canyon has nailed the trail bike geometry, some component choices are a bit odd and negatively affect its downhill potential.

We've ridden mid-travel bikes before that were very similar to the more common 160mm travel bikes. Comparable weight, similar geometry, same wheels. And we've wondered; why? What's the upside of going mid-travel if you get the same bike, only...
