The Lux, on which Pauline Ferrand Prevot became cross-country world champion in Mont Saint Anne, has been rejuvenated and comes with a lighter frame and equipment packages that are normally only found on bikes in significantly higher price categories. The new model year comprises seven specification levels between 2,999 and 7,499 euros*. All variants come with a full carbon frame with space for two water bottles, 29-inch wheels for all frame sizes, 100 millimetres of rear suspension travel and a whole range of practical equipment details such as the "IPU" (Impact Protection Unit) frame guard, Quixle thru-axle, integrated chain guide and the lightweight DT Swiss Vario seatpost.

Race or trail?

While all Lux models are built on the lightweight carbon frame, the two available variants "CF SLX" and "CF" differ not only in their equipment, but also in their character: The CF SLX versions come with a frame weighing just 1,662 grams for size M, as well as 100 millimetres of suspension travel at the front. This makes the model the perfect race machine for all those who are looking for the lightest and most aggressive setup for their competitions.

Thanks to its steep, race-optimized geometry, the "CF SLX" emphasizes the fast handling of the Lux. The Lux CF models are recommended as a lightweight, more trail-oriented setup: thanks to 110-millimetre suspension forks, they offer a touch more comfort and control, while the steering angle is 0.5 degrees slacker, which gives the bike more control at high speeds.

All Lux models for the 2021 season will be available in the Canyon webshop from August 27.
