Since Fabien Barel first rode to victory in the 2013 Enduro World Series, the Canyon Strive has had racing in its DNA. A decade later, Canyon brings the electrified weapon for the E-Enduro World Cup Series with the Strive:ON. Made from the same carbon as its award-winning sister model without a motor, it is a thoroughbred e-mountainbike with plenty of propulsion and amazing agility.

Developed for e-mountain bike competitions, the Strive:ON has a robust carbon frame and mullet wheels with 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear. This allows Canyon to achieve the desired mix of stability at high speeds and agility on narrow trails. With a progressive geometry with 160 millimeters of travel at the rear and 170 millimeters at the front, Canyon is riding the race-ready carbon frame of the Strive:ON with the Bosch Performance Line CX and CX Race motors. The motor is powered by Bosch Powertube batteries with a choice of 625 or 750 watt hours. The motor unit and chainring are protected by a motocross-inspired skid plate, which is mounted directly on the motor and allows easy access to the battery by loosening just one screw.

The Canyon Strive:ON does without the Shapeshifter, but there is space for a water bottle in the frame

The Strive:ON dispenses with the Shapeshifter technology, the sophisticated geometry adjustment of the Strive, and has a horizontally integrated shock. The new design creates space for a water bottle holder in the frame and ensures that there is room for both the 625 and 750 watt-hour battery in every frame size from S to XL.

The limited version is 150 grams lighter. The race motor increases the pedal assistance from 340 percent to 400 percent and has a race mode that enables faster and stronger power transmission with extended motor support.

The Strive:ON was designed by Canyon for racing at the highest level, but is also a fast and aggressive e-mountainbike off the track. The complete series consists of three models, all of which use the same CFR chassis: the Strive:ON CFR Underdog, the Strive:ON CFR and the Strive:ON CFR LTD.

The entry-level price of the Strive:ON with the smaller 625 watt-hour battery is 5799 euros. The top model Strive:ON CFR LTD with a 750 watt-hour battery costs 9699 euros. The complete Strive:ON range is now available in the Canyon direct-to-consumer online store.
