Engineered enduro
An impressively light 2.45kg CFR carbon frame maximises agility and power to weight advantage. But thanks to optimised stiffness and composed, stable geometry the Strive:ON delivers heavyweight capability on the trail.
Mullet wheels
For traction, control and stability, there’s only one wheel size that’ll do when it comes to E-Enduro. And that’s both. In every test, we found mullet to be the optimal set-up for hard riding without compromising stability
Bump and slide
Tough technical courses make rock and root collisions inevitable but that shouldn't take you out of contention. Heavily inspired by motocross skid plates, the motor cover has a railed design to keep your motor running, your chainring safe and help you slide over trail obstacles.
Silent frame protection
We developed robust frame protectors with our EWS mechanics to shield your bike from the worst racing has to throw at it. They also happen to dampen the sounds of chain slap, rock impacts and trail chatter to keep your head in the game.
Hardcore hardware
Originating from our world beating Sender CFR downhill bike, replaceable thread inserts and double sealed bearings include our proprietary grease fill. All of this helps the Strive:ON CFR survive everything from mechanical mishaps to a punishing season of riding.
Storage without the strap
Two mounting bosses under the top tube provide a fixing point for our frame storage bag. Carry all your enduro essentials without a strap marring your paintwork.
Powered by Bosch
600W peak power, immediate motor response and assistance that supports higher cadences (up to 120rpm) has forged Bosch's reputation as the racer's choice for E-Enduro.
Torque: 85 Nm
Peak power: 600 w
Warranty: 2 years
Bosch smart tube battery
The Bosch Powertube battery slides securely into a lightweight, Canyon designed, cradle inside the frame using the proven Bosch rail mount latch. The battery itself can be charged on or off the bike with the same charger and socket.
Clutter free display
Efficiently integrated into the top tube, the control centre puts all battery and motor functions within easy glance. Power on and off, select your battery mode and get quick feedback on your battery levels with this neat, simple design.
Fingertip controls
Minimally designed and perfectly positioned next to the grip, the bluetooth mini remote put all battery and motor functions within easy reach. Select your mode, switch into walk mode (and the super useful hill hold), and control a display (not included) without taking your hands off the bars.
