After late ignition: evolution of the E-Trailbike from Canyon

The direct supplier Canyon is a late bloomer when it comes to e-mountainbikes. This phase now seems to be over, because with the brand new "Neuron:On", the Koblenz-based company is at the cutting edge. The battery is now integrated into the down tube and the engineers have also worked on the bike's center of gravity. The photos of the bike from Val Mustair are also worth seeing.

After the new hardtail with integrated battery, the next prank follows shortly afterwards: the "Neuron:On" for the 2020 model year. The primary development goal was to improve the handling of the bike and to think it through in every detail. The immediately eye-catching integration of the drive is therefore much more than pure aesthetics: this change has lowered the centre of gravity of the 130-millimetre E-Fully and increased the stiffness, especially at the front. The "Neuron:On" continues to rely on the power of the tried-and-tested Shimano Steps E8000 drive. New for 2020 is the positioning of the on/off switch including USB-C charging port on the top tube.

The concept of different wheel sizes depending on the frame size is tried and tested and has been retained from the first generation. To ensure the same riding experience for all "Neuron:ON" riders, XS and S models roll on 27.5-inch wheels, while sizes M to XL come with Twentyniner wheels. This means that the Neuron:ON serves a very wide range of body sizes between 153 and 192 cm.

The 2020 model year of the Neuron:ON is now available via canyon.com and includes the Neuron:ON 9.0 (€4,499), 8.0 (€3,999), 7.0 and WMN 7.0 models (€3,599 each). The top model Neuron:ON 9.0 is equipped with a RockShox Pike Ultimate suspension fork, RockShox Deluxe Select shock, Shimano XT groupset and brake system as well as an Iridium dropper post. All models come with the SD:ON E-MTB-specific saddle developed by Canyon, a new integrative handlebar/stem combination and the new 34T Canyon:ON chainring developed in-house.
