Expirience with the Canyon Lux Trail CF 8

Ludwig Döhl The Lux Trail CF 8 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. 11,8 kg is great value for the total weight of a Downcountry-Bike. On all kinds of trails, the Downcountry-Bike of Canyon therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Downcountry-Bike of Canyon is a very balanced customer. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Downcountry-Bike of Canyon to on long tours in light terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 5299 Euro range. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
