Expirience with the Canyon Grand Canyon 7

Ludwig Döhl With 120 mm of travel, slightly larger tires and a telescopic post, the Grand Canyon 7 wants to be able to do more than just tours. The universal orientation makes it one of the best under 1500 Euro. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Grand Canyon 7 wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. When viewing the 13,99 kg, its apparent: there are lighter Downcountry-Bikes in this price range. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
