Canyon launches an e-bike with an incredible price/performance ratio
Ready for action
The Neuron:ON AL is built around an aluminum frame for durability and safety. The sleek silhouette, available in four sizes from S to XL, integrates the battery in the down tube and is designed to exceed Canyon's demanding Category 3 mountain bike endurance tests.
Speaking of durability, sealed bearings and hardened pivot points provide years of trouble-free performance. The frame also features additional protection under the down tube. The Neuron:ON AL also comes with the very robust universal derailleur hanger (UDH).
Geometry and comfort
The latest version of the trail e-mountainbike from Canyon offers a relaxed steering angle of 64.5 degrees and a pedal-friendly seat angle of 71 degrees, which ensures greater efficiency. In addition, the 455 millimeter long chainstays (from size M) ensure improved traction and climbing stability. To make the ride even more comfortable on uneven terrain, Canyon has also increased the standover height, resulting in a more upright position.
These features, which make the Neuron:ON AL so capable off-road, also provide additional comfort on longer distances. The comprehensive support and impressive range work hand in hand with the improved riding position, which makes it easier to look ahead and relieves pressure on the shoulders and neck. This allows riders to explore more trails, cover longer distances and enjoy comfort on long rides.
With a torque of 85 Newton meters and a maximum output of up to 600 watts, the latest generation Bosch Line CX motor ensures that mountains are climbed smoothly and quietly. Four customizable riding modes provide support in a natural and intuitive way.
With an enormous range of 600 watt hours (expandable to 800 watt hours) in the down tube and an optional 250 watt hours more thanks to the range extender in the bottle cage, nothing stands in the way of epic adventures.
Product Manager Patrick Gross: "The Neuron:ON AL is built around an aluminum frame. It all starts here. While carbon often dominates the headlines, building with aluminum is an excellent way to ensure durability and safety - especially when it comes to covering long distances in remote locations. The sleek silhouette of the Neuron:ON AL frame integrates the battery into the down tube and is designed to exceed stringent Category 3 testing standards. The sealed pivot bearings and hardened pivot hardware are designed to provide years of trouble-free service, and the frame features additional protection under the downtube and an extra-durable UDH."
"This 'democratized performance' is a big part of our design philosophy. It may be considered an affordable e-mountain bike by many riders, but we have deliberately avoided cutting corners and skimping on the details. This bike offers a high-quality finish, is less maintenance-intensive and has an extremely reliable motor system. This provides the ideal basis so that the rider can concentrate fully on riding and not on screwing."
The components for adventure
The components have been selected to suit the Neuron:ON AL's wide range of applications. 145 millimetres of travel at the rear and 150 millimetres of travel at the front are velvety smooth and supple on small bumps, but can also withstand big impacts with ease. The 12-speed drivetrains from Sram and Shimano ensure precise, targeted shifting, while four-piston brakes with 200/203 millimeter brake discs bring the bike to a confident stop regardless of the terrain. Each Neuron:ON AL is also equipped with a robust, reliable seat post with a diameter of 34.9 millimetres
