PROFILE

The Nerve AL 7.9 offers a range of equipment which will impress every trail junky. For an affordable price you get a lightweight, hydroformed frame with internally routed cables and bearings with double lip seals, delivering optimum protection from dust and dirt. The tried and tested Canyon anti-squat-kinematic as well as the X12 thru-axle guarantee a feeling of safety on the bike, durability and maximum forward power in every type of situation.

The responsive suspension is complemented by the latest generation of Fox suspension parts. The Fox Float CTD Performance Boost Valve shock has adjustable modes for uphill, flat and downhill riding. The ensemble is polished off by a XT Shadow Plus rear derailleur from Shimano. The ideal bike for tourers and those who just love demanding trails.

Anti-Squat-Kinematics
Thanks to the position of the bearing points on the four-link, the so-called anti-squat kinematics, compensates pedal induced bob. Any lockout and high compression damping can be avoided. The rear triangle works sensitively, without any power loss and provides more comfort and traction.

X12 thru-axle
Stiffness is the greatest asset. This doesn't just apply to the frame, but also to the axles. By using an X12 thru-axle the stiffness is increased and bike handling is significantly improved.

Tapered Steerer
More rigidity: The stiffness of a 150-mm fork can be increased 100% by enlarging the bearing diameter to 1 1/2 inch. The tapered head tube ensures the light weight of the entire system.

Hydro 14
The hydroformed tubes are produced in 14 reforming stages, and they make a frame design possible with optimum stiffness-to-weight ratios. The number of required welds is reduced because of the now superfluous gussets.
