Expirience with the Canyon Lux Trail CF 7

Ludwig Döhl The Lux Trail CF 7 is based on the frame of Canyon's classic fully race bike. With the longer fork and adapted equipment, it tickles more riding pleasure out of it´s sporty chassis. The weight of a bike is a central factor for riding pleasure on any kind of terrain. With 11,7 kg, the Downcountry-Bike of Canyon is one of the lightest Downcountry-Bike on the market, which makes for great riding on singletrails. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. All in all, in the on long tours with lots of trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
