PROFILE

The descent begins on the climb. The Strive AL allows you to ride long tours and overcome long climbs without having to do without precious travel and the performance of a freerider. The trail optimized geometry with its lower centre of gravity and short chain stays guarantees an agile suspension both uphill and downhill. Thanks to the X-12 thru-axle the rear triangle is extremely stiff and the super stiff Crossmax wheels from Mavic keep you right on track even in the tightest of corners. And if it really does get hairy, you can always rely on the new slimline Avid X0 Trail brake with its powerful 4-piston technology.

The Shimano top XTR groupset as well as the lightweight and durable Race Face carbon crankset deliver a superb transmission of power to this alloy rocket. The FOX Factory fork with its premium Kashima coating delivers a silky smooth response on the front of the bike. The lightweight and stiff cockpit beautifully polishes off the overall ensemble on the Strive AL 9.0 SL. This superbly equipped lightweight enduro allows you to overcome every challenge like a true pro.

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  »
