PROFILE

The Strive AL 7.0 has struck the happy medium between all-mountain and hardcore enduro and guarantees great ride fun on every terrain. The frame is a real eye-catcher, whose appearance is dominated by the unique, curved leading edge of the hydro formed tubes. The adjustable seat post is essential for an enduro full suspension bike because when it gets really technical again there's only one thing that helps and that's to drop down the saddle. This is achieved with the RockShox Reverb Stealth which operates at the push of a button and can be dropped down progressively by as much as 150mm. The Fox suspension components are also outstanding.

The light Fox Talas with CTD, which can be lowered 40mm, scores high in the Factory range with perfect stiffness and responsive suspension performance. C for climb, T for trail and D for descend – it has never been so easy to adjust your suspension. The sensitive Float Boost Valve shock with its extra large air chamber effectively suppresses squat on the rear triangle. The bike's low center of gravity delivers superb cornering and handling coupled with agility and performance which is of a supreme standard.

If you select the frame colour "blue ice" the base colour is raw, untreated alloy which is given a coating of clear lacquer to protect the frame.

HIGHLIGHTS

HYDRO 14
14 reforming steps for ideal
stiffness-to-weight values

ANTI-SQUAT-KINEMATICS
for minimum performance loss

270° BOX
provides stiffness and
a low center of gravity

NEEDLE BEARING OF THE DAMPER
for sensitive response

270° Box
The forces which are created during riding are perfectly transferred towards the damper through a 270° deflection. A conical bearing mount and a sealed needle bearing in the damper eye ensure a more responsive 270° Box and a high axial rigidity. Due to the construction of the integrated 270° Box the centre of gravity is very low-lying, allowing an agile riding performance.

Anti-Squat-Kinematics
The single pivot rear triangle in combination with the large down tube guarantees a stiff drivetrain. The optimized pivot point offers the highest level of anti-squat performance and the lowest braking forces even when equipped with different crank sets.

Hydro 14
An ensemble of 14 reforming steps is necessary to produce the special hydroformed tubes. This extremely complex manufacturing process enables highest stiffness-to-weight values. In conjunction with the low-lying 270° Box the frame design sets aesthetic standards and on top of that offers space for mounting a bottle cage.

Needle bearing of the damper
In order to provide the chassis with maximum sensitivity, the damper is equipped with a full complement needle roller ball bearing, sealed against dirt. This runs on a double clamped full floating thru-axle in the 270° Box, which again increases the stiffness.

TEST REPORTS

Excellent critique

Bikesport 5-6/13: Downhill oriented all-mountain bikes was what the magazine Bikesport called this category and where it tested seven powerful models with up to 160mm of travel. The Canyon Strive AL 9.0 SL also took part in the test and received glowing reviews. more  »
