Canyon Lux Trail CF8 review

Jan 2022 · Guy Kesteven

Is Canyon’s half new and half old Lux Trail CF8 the full package when it comes to downcountry mountain biking?

Highs
  • Excellent AXS wireless component spec for the money

  • Benchmark DT Swiss carbon wheel and Maxxis tire team

  • Combined suspension lockout

  • Stretched straight-line stability

  • Double big bottle space

  • Super neat chain keeper

  • Tidy steering lock stopper

  • Tool free wheel removal

Lows
  • Under leveraged shock is too stiff

  • Overly linear suspension feel once moving

  • Tangible power loss when pedaling

  • Excessive seat tube height restricts size options

  • Long reach needs a shorter stem/steeper seat angle

  • Harsh bar feel

  • Direct buy only

Canyon Lux CF SLX 9 LTD review

Jan 2021 · Tom Marvin

Quickly up to speed and with no kit compromises, I loved the Lux on all but the steepest descents

Highs
  • Snappy acceleration and impressive climbing performance

  • Kit list is unrivalled in this test

Lows
  • More traditional geometry means tackling the latest XC courses will require sharp handling skills

  • Non-adjustable bar wasn’t as comfy as the rest on test, although it looks great!
