- The 2022 Canyon Strive is longer, slacker, and faster than its predecessor. We spent two days getting to know the new bike at Canyon's press camp in Finale Ligure, Italy, and we're here to share our findings with you. To read about the new bike and learn more, you can also check out our launch coverage on vitalmtb.com.
At 6’1 this might be the first medium iv ever considered buying lol
Did you end up buying one? If so what size and were you happy with it.
I went with a large. I figured with a big bike like this I wanted the bigger wheelbase and stability at speed. I’m definitely happy with it !!
I don't know why everyone is getting pissed at the sizing. It's just the label they give it. Pick the friggin measurements you want. If anything, it's become easier because of the short seattubes. The only ones who actually have to go along with the longer sizes are the ones who want to rise smaller reaches than their size S.
yep. this.
@@vitalmtb Its more of a bummer for the 80%+ of riders who aren't familiar with a bunch of different reach numbers. At 5'10" I might have gone medium a few years ago but now I know I would need a small based on my experience with other bikes. The naming scheme will totally screw over the folks who are a little less experienced.
@@akjdhfkqwrhetkjanfvkkkresae As a 6 footer I am now firmly on a medium on almost every new bike. To be fair to Canyon, they have a "Find your size" tool right on the landing page of any bike in plain sight just above the sizes.... if someone buys the wrong size, then it's all on them for not doing 7 seconds of research.
At 6’ tall Canyon says I should choose a medium or large, so a 480 or 500mm reach. I ride 4 year old large size bikes with 450mm reach, and I already have to consciously load the front wheel. Two questions; why would Canyon give everyone under 6’ only two sizes (S & M), which is surely majority of the population (97% of women), and do all you guys really like longer and longer front ends that make pulling up harder, front traction less, and frankly to me bikes less manoeuvrable and fun?
At 5'8" i'll be on the XS. lol
Great video! Thanks for putting this together!
2021 the promo video of CFR 2021 told all of us.. "why change a geometry that is working for years?"
...and now...? They got influenced by to much critics that it is no long enough. But now cheaper rims, cheaper dropper post, more than 10% heavier and also higher price in total. The combination of all these facts doesn't make it attractive enough.... anymore.
I'm going to order it tomorrow xD
Do you still remember anything about the shapeshifter? I just bought the strive CFR. When I switch from shred to pedal, it works just like shown in your video, but when I switch from pedal to shred, it does not move whatsoever. Is this normal? Is it the same on your test bike? Thanks!
late reply; so maybe you seen it. After you switch from pedal to shred it goes down after you compress it once
i might need to put my stem behind the steerer for that negative reach stem. lol
Please can we have longer bikes? I'm going to customise my tandem my next Enduro.
That '420' zoom, hahaha~
Awesome epik bike ❤❤
Dream bike..
I'm ready for the Underdog!.. Never too old to learn new Tricks. It will be mine!! Own 2 Canyons, The Dude and Stoic.
This bike will replace my modified '19 Pivot Mach 6...
It is Time!!!
Small, medium, large, XL that some manufactures use really means nothing as they all have a different ideas on what should be what size should be what. In terms of reach a large a few years ago is a medium today. you need to look at the Geo numbers for your actual bike fit. Some manufactures just go by Size 1, 2, 3 etc which is a way better idea imo. Some people get in the mindset of 'I use a large in the past so I just keep using a large' so chance are they are not getting the right side bike for them.
Exactly.
It has so flexible stay...
My prediction: next version will pull back on the reach. Unless they only like having tall customers.
Hahahahahah 480mm on a medium! Wake up and go back to sleep lmao 🤣
A shame there is no aluminium version available.
This is rhe CFR ..usually there are also CF and AL versions ..just a few weeks it might be available then
480 reach in Medium?? like for real?
holy dooly
Jack Moi Moi will rip on this 🙌🏽
yeah but on M size!
Problee on a small with those reach numbers 😆
@@dirtsurfernz yeah I looked at the large with it’s 1290 wheels base 😮
He will actually race the small, check his recent testing video from Finale to confirm.
Is this new bike up on there website yet?
yes
@@vitalmtb epic
What is this bike lacking to be considered a Category 5 bike?
a few hundred grams of carbon/resin, we'd imagine...
a bit of weight (less strenght) amd a log of testing probably
if you don't race , get the tourque, less hassle and no extra parts to worry about
480mm reach on a medium with 435 chainstays on all models, that seems pretty poor tbh.
435mm is way short for us taller folks..
just not sure about this. Jack Moir is fast on a short bike with short chainstays. So is Sam Hill. What ate long chainstays going to achieve besides making switchbacks and manuals harder. Basically, if you can’t go fast on a 500mm bike with a 63deg hta then…maybe chainstays aren’t your problem
480mm reach makes manuals pretty damn difficult
@@Earlysport why? Big bike = big guy ..so shouldnt be different
Seriously the sizing is getting ridiculous. While Sender is perfect L for me (just bought one), with these reaches and wheelbases on new Strive, i would 100% pick M size and i am 186 cm....
Exactly what I thought. I came from a 2017 strive in race L=468mm reach. Perfect size for my 186cm. Then I had a spur with L=480mm reach which is still ok with a short stem. Yesterday I took a look at the new spectral 125 AL, which is already 486mm reach in L and mega wheelbase. Ofc seat angels get steeper which is good, and long is stable and fun, but nearly all companies forget about FUN. I will go for a s4 stumpjumper evo, it's quite normal and adjustable, hope it fits well and is good fun. But if you Pick M, then you get a problem with seating height... It's too small
@@Max-dj5qj As enduro bike I have L size Scott Ransom, pretty fun bike with 1250 wheelbase and 468 reach nad just bought a 29er Sender, which has pretty large wheelbase of 1304 mm, but thats the same with all 29 DH bikes and expected from a downhill machine, reach is perfect for me and what is mote important than just plain wheelbase, chainstay is 445, so it goes nicely to manuals and bunnyhops. But with this new Strive, i have no idea why they have Torque?
@@Petr388 as we have ridden both the Torque and the new Strive, we can confirm that the Torque is a whole different kind of bike. The Strive is all about speed and stability, while the Torque is lot more forgiving and does not carry speed nearly as well on flatter trails.
@@Petr388 strive is designed for racing only. Only one frame option cfr. Makes sense for them and the pros. And you can adjust the reach +-10mm with headset cups. But I don't get it, whx a strive is still only a category 4 bike. My one was it also and the rear frame wasn't strong enough. Hope their new aluminum bikes are stronger too. But well, I go for the alloy evo as an one bike for all. Hope it climbs well enough
@@Max-dj5qj i get it, but check out some intervies with Jack Moir and his bikechecks. He is pointing out need for more agile (by that he means shorter wheelbase and reach) bike, so he is riding with his height over 190 cm L sized old Strive. For his local trails he would be perfectly happy with XL sized old Strive, but as he mentioned, world cup enduro tracks are too technical and tight in some sections for large bikes. So just to say, this is a race machine does not say anything at all as you see. Maybe if you say, well if someone wants and allrounder for bikepark and enduro tracks, then it would make more sense. This race for slackness and wheelbase must end at some point, otherwise we are heading towards grim donut 😂
I think seeing the high numbers gets into peoples heads too much and that's why they're whining. My personal bike is a 490 reach but when I tried a 515 reach bike I felt completely at home. Be willing to try something new.
How tall are you? My bike is 514 reach and I’m 6’4 (194cm) but I put a shorter 40mm stem
@@Montezuma0 I am 6’2
It’s my dream bike but I don’t have 8,000$
So fucking sick of industry pushing new norms ...that no one wants or needs.
What new norms?
Should rather call this down-country. That's pretty much what enduro is in my mind at least.
..just another marketing ploy to sell
