    Summary

    Expirience with the Canyon Grand Canyon 8

    Canyon Grand Canyon 8 Review With 120 mm of travel, slightly larger tires and a telescopic post, the Grand Canyon 8 wants to be able to do more than just tours. The universal orientation makes it one of the best under 1500 Euro. Canyon is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. At the seating position, Canyon combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. Considering that in the range under 1500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 6 years the warranty is another neat feature.
