2026 Voodoo

CANZO PRO

The Voodoo Canzo Pro is a 140mm trail bike and is a solid offering to the entry-level of the trail bike market. Aside from a slightly slack seat angle, the geometry is right on the money, providing a lively and nimble ride. Although the dropper is a little short, there's plenty of room for upgrades and weight reduction. At this price point, the Voodoo Canzo Pro deserves credit for making a well-performing trail bike accessible.

Voodoo’s all new Canzo full-suspension trail bike isn’t perfect, but it’s a brilliant example of an affordable have-a-go-hero with future-proof upgrade features you won’t normally find at this price. Voodoo Canzo need to know Alloy frame 29in wheel affordable trail bike 140mm of RockShox suspension each end Excellent all round geometry 10 speed Shimano gears Clamped internal cable routing and UDH hanger Optional dropper on first batch of bikes Only three sizes: S, M, L Voodoo’s Canzo has been around for years as a cheap and cheerful entry-level full-suspension bike, but this new model really steps up a level with an all-new design. So is it really ready to tackle full-on mountain biking? And how does it compare to obvious competitors like Calibre’s newly relaunched Bossnut? Time to find out. Frame and geometry This latest Canzo gets an all-new alloy frame including totally up-to-date features like a UDH dropout (the old Canzo used a 135mm QR rear end) and forged clamps for the internal control routing to stop it rattling and ensure a silent ride. The suspension is also a true four-bar design with a pivot on the chainstays and a vertically mounted shock, driven by a rocker link pivoting on the seat tube. The geometry has also been modernised, with exactly the 65º head angle claimed, and an effective seat angle of 77.2º at my 745mm saddle height. Reach is decent at 478mm on the large I tested, and the 435mm rear end is a happy medium between agility, stability, and climbing traction. The seat tube is relatively tall, but most riders will still be able to fit a 170mm dropper post if they buy a bike of the suitable length. BB height is an appropriate enough 339mm given the 140mm travel. That means the only real sizing miss is the lack of extra small or extra large frames. Perhaps the biggest improvements to the Canzo are the addition of 29in wheels, which cover ground more efficiently and offer better stability, and the shorter seat tubes, giving you more room to move around the bike on technical trails. Components Speaking of range, Voodoo offers two Canzo models; the Pro at £1,800, and this base model at £1,350 (or £1400 as tested). The cheaper bike gets 10-speed Shimano Cues gears and twin-piston Shimano MT201 brakes, rather than 12-speed Shimano Deore and 4-piston MT420. The obvious difference between the two bikes when they were launched is now being sorted though so finding that extra £400 is no longer a big deal. That’s because while the first batch of bikes will come without a dropper for £1350, and you can add a 150mm Satori over-bar lever post for £50. However, after receiving my feedback, Voodoo has made a running change, and the second batch of bikes will come with a well-proven X-Fusion Manic dropper seat post with underbar lever fitted as standard. All for the same £1,400 price. That’s brilliant to hear. The RockShox 35R coil fork is very heavy at 1,840g, …Continue reading »
