Expirience with the Canyon Grand Canyon 5

Ludwig Döhl The Grand Canyon 5 is the classic entry level bike for beginners by the Koblenz-based company Canyon. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Canyon, at 14,13 kg. Thus, the Racebike of Canyon is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 849 Euro . When it comes down to handling, Canyon does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Canyon Racebike is ready for the majority of singletrails. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. A shout out to Canyon – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Canyon Grand Canyon 5 for on sporty excursions a benchmark in the price range under 1000 Euro. With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
