Jury Verdict

The CANYON Strive CF sets a new benchmark, combining versatility and smart simplicity like no other bike on the market! At the press of a button suspension travel, spring rate, and geometry can be effectively adapted thanks to the innovative Shape-Shifter technology, instantly switching from a mountain goat into a downhill monster. On the trail the Strive CF impresses like no other with a perfectly balanced geometry and ride performance developed together with Fabien Barel. The world class design and integration of all components show great attention to detail. Combined with the uncompromising specification and the potent suspension system, the Strive CF is a ready-to-race carbon dream-bike. Less race-orientated riders can choose one of the four models with less aggressive geometry,and still enjoy the unbeatable value for money we know from the Koblenz consumer-direct brand.

Price: 4.299 € | Weight: 12.6 kg | Suspension Travel: 160/163 (130) f/r | Size: S–L
