DELIVERY INFORMATION
PROFILE

You plunge downhill along pretty single trails, fly into the tight corners and give everything on the stiff opposing climb. You get one kick of adrenalin after the next. The extremely light enduro full suspension bike impresses with an outstanding race set-up and will have your competitors eating their hearts out. The brand new XX1 shift system from SRAM, which is the first 11-speed transmission for mountain bikes, is a revolutionary development. The super light machined integral 11-speed cassette (10 to 42 teeth) offers an extremely wide range of gear ratios and an optimum combination of sprockets. On the rear wheel the new XX1 rear derailleur with its tried and tested Type 2 suspension guarantees optimum chain tension at all times and effectively prevents chain slap.

Extremely fast and smooth shifting coupled with greater ground clearance – these are perfect prerequisites for your next event. The new Fox Float from the Factory series with Kashima coating also comes up trumps with its very low weight and stiffness. Focusing on what's important: Thanks to the CTD system in combination with the remote lever on the handlebar the suspension can be easily matched to the relevant riding conditions. This bike is just itching to race and comes with a built in victory guarantee!

Information and videos on the series »

  • "The Strive is a perfect compromise of comfort, stability and reactivity because of the overall travel of the bike and because of its light weight. A weapon for trail riding."

    Fabien Barel, Canyon Factory Enduro Team

  • "The Strive is a true all-rounder. It is great bike for fast pedaling and a super climber. The bike is at home in every type of terrain."

    Marco Bühler, Canyon Factory Enduro Team

  • "Riding the Strive was a totally new feeling. For the first time in my life I hopped on a new bike and felt comfortable from the very first moment on."

    Ines Thoma, Canyon Factory Enduro Team

  • "The ultimate bike for XC and marathon riding. Red hot acceleration and supreme handling characteristics all rolled into one bike."

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  »
