DELIVERY INFORMATION
PROFILE

Have the best of both worlds. The Strive AL 9.0 has great touring potential and delivers great ride fun with its agile handling. Complex suspension adjustments are a thing of the past thanks to the new Fox Talas Adjust FIT Factory with 34cm stanchions and new CTD system that allow you to adjust the suspension to match both the terrain and your style of riding. The sensitive fork with its extremely light and durable air cartridge impresses with perfect performance and a long service life.

The trail optimized geometry with its low center of gravity and short seat stays delivers safe handling and agile performance even in tight serpentine bends. Experience an enduro transmission par excellence. The durable SRAM X0 rear derailleur with Type 2 technology guarantees precise and reliable shifting. Let the bike express itself, let the stylish Iodine 3 wheels from Crank Brothers do their thing and see for yourself just how outstanding this extremely stiff and lightweight enduro wheelset performs!

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  »
