Expirience with the Canyon Sender CFR 29 Underdog

Ludwig Döhl Former world champion Fabien Barell was instrumental in the development of the Sender. And you can also feel the know-how of the French: Hardly any rear triangle works better than that of the Sender CFR. 29. With 16,9 kg weight for the complete bike, the Canyon Sender CFR 29 Underdog joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 6000 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The combination of a 63 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Canyon Downhill-Bike, even if you ride fast. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Canyon Sender CFR 29 Underdog leaves the remaining Downhill-Bikes in the dust. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Canyon is behind its products.
