Large wheels – big aims. With the launch of the new Grand Canyon CF SLX 29 we are consistently building on the success story of the Grand Canyon series. Short chain stays guarantee sportive, but not nervous handling, a lower bottom bracket a good position "in the bike", and a short headtube a neat and tidy ride uphill. The new carbon 29er scores just as high as its alloy counterpart with a well balanced geometry, which is perfectly matched to meet the needs of the 29" wheels. The recipe for success of the new carbon fibre rocket is concealed inside the frame. We have used every trick in the book to achieve the perfect combination of various carbon fibres, thereby making the most of the material's advantages.

The ingenious fibre lay-up delivers outstanding stiffness and comfort levels and leaves the competition in its wake. Big wheels deliver the best rolling characteristics and the oversized headtube guarantees even more agile handling and a real feeling of safety on fast descents. A further highlight is the Impact Protection Unit (IPU), which prevents the handlebar from damaging the top tube in the event of a crash. The Grand Canyon CF SLX is ideal for ambitious XC and marathon riders with its tried and tested race geometry.
