Expirience with the Canyon Grand Canyon 6

Ludwig Döhl The Grand Canyon 6 is the classic entry level bike for beginners by the Koblenz-based company Canyon. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Racebike of Canyon suite the taste of most bikers. When viewing the 13,95 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Racebikes in this price range. With the Canyon Hardtail, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the in light terrain is better than the competitors in this price range. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
