I put a 60mm riser bar on my stoic2, i also felt a bit uncomfortable with the stack height. I used a shorter stem tho, a 33mm stem from spank. Definitely needed a dropper as well. The stoic 2 is a perfect platform to upgrade as you grow.
The wheels and tires are tubeless compatible but you will need to add tubeless rim tape to the wheels and don’t forget to get some tubeless valves, I personally found these wheels easy to convert to tubeless.
@@jeanguy977 I will second that the tires and rims are tubeless ready, but you do need rim tape, tubeless valves, and sealant to properly set them up tubeless. I'm surprised how often I hear about people not using a liquid sealant and then wondering why their tires won't hold air. 🤣😅🤣
@@nathankleber9150 hahaha Indeed without liquid it will never work! Another question, I used to do pur trial and Ive got lot of difficulty to manage the bike's weight, was it hard at the begening?
@@jeanguy977 I came from BMX and am still struggling a bit with the weight and different geometry. I put 60mm rise bars on and that helped a lot by increasing the stack height. It's a much different riding experience tho, and I think mtbs require more upper body strength to throw around.
I bought this bike in July, same colour and size L too. I have gone tubeless first of all, dropper next then the bars, think my stem should be fine for me. Love the bike though!
It is a great bike and I think it is one of the best budget hardtails out there, I have now fully upgraded the bike, I’ve put over €2700 into the upgrades and I will make a full review on that so keep an eye out. All these changes have fully changed the handling of the bike.
It's best to use canyons sizing feature on their site to find the best fit. They don't just use your height, they also use your inseam measurement to help calculate the best size bike.
I bought the same bike as you I have a question when it arrives will I have to inflate the shock absorber or will it already be pumped at the factory ? pls respond
No need, once you assembled the bike it is ready to ride, maybe adjust the pressure depending on your weight but I personally didn’t even change the settings on the fork till recently.
Thanks for the advice, i just recently converted to tubeless and it was really easy to do with these Schwalbe tires, now I’m able to ride with less pressure in the tires and I already feel a lot more comfortable on my rides. Definitely agree those stock tubes are heavy.
I have a xl and put 60mm stem on it with sq lab 12backsweep . Effective stem length is about 50mm

Hello, The wheels and tires are tubeless ready or do you need to change one of those?

@@MTBPassion-nf2wk thank you. It is strange bcz I asked to Canyon on chat they told me it wasn't tubeless compatible...

Hi, how tall are you? So this is size l? Thanks
Hi I am 6-ft 2 which is 188 cm and yes this frame is a size large, I put a 50mm stem and now the reach of the bike feels perfect

I replaced the innertubes with some TPU-tubes and saved a massive amount of weight. Stock ones are super heavy.
