Canyon: Tour and aluminum are trumps
After the recently presented models with carbon fiber frames, the Koblenz-based bike manufacturer is now adding six aluminum models for the 2022 model year. These have the same geometry as the carbon bikes as well as 140 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and 130 millimetres at the rear. Also included: the Neuron Young Hero, a fully-fledged trail fully for all young heroes and heroines. This all-rounder comes with a small frame and components specially designed for kids - such as 130 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, shorter cranks and narrower handlebars - and offers the same XXL riding fun as the "grown-ups". The Neuron 5 marks the entry level here, followed by the Neuron 6 and Neuron 7, both of which are available as unisex or women's specific WMN models. Thanks to the wide range of sizes, every MTB fan can find the Neuron that fits their body size perfectly - whether Neuron Young Hero in 2XS-S, Neuron WMN in 2XS-M or Neuron Unisex in XS-XL.
When it comes to wheel size, Canyon relies on a sensible adjustment depending on frame and body size. The Canyon development team is convinced that this is the only way to guarantee the most consistent riding experience possible across all frame sizes. Accordingly, the Neuron Young Hero and all small Neuron bikes up to frame size S come with 27.5-inch wheels, and from size M upwards exclusively with full 29-inch tires. In addition, every modern trail bike should have a dropper seatpost, including the five Neuron unisex and WMN 2022 models presented here. The dropper post provides more freedom of movement and therefore more safety on steep and technical terrain.
