2021 Canyon Stoic Long Term Review // Hardtail of the Year!!
Vložit

- Here’s my full honest review of the 2021 Canyon Stoic after riding it for an entire season. Bottom line: It's FREAKIN AWESOME! However, there are some things to be aware of and some upgrades you'll want to make. Watch this video for those details. Subscribe for future videos where I'LL KEEP PUTTING THIS BIKE TO THE TEST! Links below for the upgrades I bought.
My name's Tyler and I love mountain biking! I live in the Midwest United States (not typically known for great MTB riding) and I want people to know that us riders here in the Midwest are awesome too! We don't need huge downhill trails to have a good time! I just got a brand new 2021 Canyon Stoic 2, and this bike has got to be the best hardtail of the year! At least for the price. So I'd at least say the best budget-friendly hardtail of the year! I'm stoked to be able to share it with you guys. I'm also stoked to ride it this summer and let you guys know how it goes!
If you enjoyed this video free to like, comment, and subscribe. I really like making these videos and would be so pumped if the channel grew!
If you live in Southwest Michigan/Northwest Indiana (or really anywhere in the Midwest) let me know. I’d love to hear about any awesome mountain bike spots that you know of.
Cheers!
Tyler

Thank you for the review(s). I just bought a Stoic 3 today (it is on sale for the price of a Stoic 2 right now) and your videos were a factor in that decision.
New bike day is coming soon. I can't wait.
I just picked up a 2022 Canyon Stoic 2 and took it out for the a first ride. Best hard tail I've owned. Super excited to get out riding more. Managed to pick it up for a steal from a local who bought the wrong size, but was perfect for me!
Hello, please can you tell me how is your riding position? Is upright? How tall are you? Thanks
Loved this video - wholesome af. Hope you're still enjoying the bike
Love this bro, i love ur vibe. I was probably gonna buy this bike. But now iknow for sure🤝🤝💪💪
Thanks bro!! Yea dude, you won’t regret getting the Stoic! 🤘
Nice review! Just ordered the Stoic 4 today.
That’s awesome!! I’m sure you’ll love it!!
watching your video make me appreciate my stoic 3 even more.. make the most of what you got..🤟
Oh yea bro!!! 🤘
Thank you for the video, sir! Quick question. Which dropper post did you end up upgrading to? I’m looking it and it all seems so daunting lol
Best Review by far
Awesome video!! Thank you buddy!
Thanks for watching!! Glad you liked it 🤘
Got the same bike. Love it
thank man great vid
Love a good hardtail. If you have one you can go and do anything that others use full suspension for. Have a Santa Cruz chameleon and it’s my go to bike for everything. Matter of fact it made me move to sell my full suspension. It’s more fun and challenging and a way better time than the full
Oh yea dude, I love my hardtail!! 🤘
Nice one 👍👍👍
Hey man, I asked you before but can’t find the answer. What size dropper did you go with?
You just made up my mind. Been looking at alot of bikes and this nails it for me. Guess I could live with a white bike. Lol
Sweet man! You will absolutely love it! Homestlt I wasn’t sold on the white either, but I actually love it in person. And it stands out bc not many other bikes are straight white 👍
Love your videos and the Stoic! I was just wondering, what size of frame do you have and how tall are you?
Pretty sure he said L and 6 foot 1 (187cm?).
Thanks so much!! 🤙 Yep Size L and 6’ 1” (185ish cm)
@@MidwestMountainBike Okay, thank you for the answer 😁
@@MidwestMountainBike Aye, same as me! Now I know which size to get
Yo I own the stoic too. My crank piece broke too😂
Like your Videos btw👏🏽
No way, that’s so funny 😆 Glad I’m not alone… Thanks for watching! 👍
@@MidwestMountainBike Mine just broke too - Do you guys recall what replacement you got?
I`m struggling to find one that fits online...
Edit: It seems to be a standard M18 bolt that is needed. Ordered one and will report back once it arrives.
Just reporting back: The FSA ML140 bolt does not fit properly.
The M18 thread is correct, but the bolt is too long.
is the frame supports a 150mm fork? new sub here.. 😁 u got cool shots👌
Thanks for subscribing!! 👍 Yes I believe it supports a 150mm fork, it would just change the geometry slightly. I think it would only slacken the head angle by less than 1 degree.
Love a quality hardtail
Oh yea bro, me too!
Hi, how it performed on rocky sections?
I usually ride natural single track trails with some sections pretty rough and rocky, and other pretty smooth.
Is this the best MTB around 1000 for that kind of trails? Thanks 👍
Hi, thanks for watching! it’s been fine on rocky sections. it’s got good geometry and a 140mm fork so that helps. A full suspension bike would be better for super rough stuff, but yea I think this is the best bike you’re gonna find for around $1,000!
On their website I read “not for riding on north shore tracks”. Why is that? Thanks.
what about the tires, do they have inner tube or tubeless
This couldn't have had a better timing! 😁 What was the crank part needed for replacement - could help others ?
It was the crank bolt, I think there are a couple of options for replacement, but I got this one: www.performancebike.com/fsa-left-crank-bolt-for-alloy-megaexocranks-390-2082/p-fthehrgczeqrgqhe?gclid=CjwKCAiA-9uNBhBTEiwAN3IlNEeLCnJXPuNT8Pq4E9UaVP-SMcToy7zz7r2zn8kcru_AD5fMv7Jg_xoCpjUQAvD_BwE
@@MidwestMountainBike damnit! Now I've too apparently lost mine !
@@MidwestMountainBike Just reporting back: The FSA ML140 bolt does not fit properly.
The M18 thread is correct, but the bolt is too long. There is still play between the cranks after tightening the bolt all the way.
How does it perform on the climbs? Im looking for my first "real" MTB and i love just going out and riding in my local area which has so technical trails but also some very steep climbs would you still recommend this bike? (Or the stoic 4?)
Climbs pretty poorly - not very efficient (especially with stock tyres) and the front wheel wanders and lifts on steep climbs.
what size is the bike and how tall are ya?
Riding season is never over xD
Hahaha I agree with you!! There’s snow on the ground so the trails are terrible right now… but I’ve still been riding! I’ve been working on my wheelies and manuals on my street! 🤘
@@MidwestMountainBike yess thats good when trails are bad. Here we dont have snow but so much rain its all mud
Do you think this woulbd be a good bike fior long days in the saddle. Like afew hours on thr trai. Nice video
I’ve ridden it for 3-4 hours single track trails before and it’s actually pretty good. The stock saddle is actually really descent in my opinion. I put in a dropper post and that’s really helpful too to keep the seat exactly where you want it. Thanks for watching!
@@MidwestMountainBike thanks for the reply. Have a great day
I just bought a stoic 4 2022 in M because that is what the site said. Im 181 with 83cm inseem but im so scared that it might be too small. Should i change to L before they ship or trust the canyon site measurements?
I ordered the canyon 9 just yesterday in a medium. I am same measurements as you. 182cm and 82cm inseem. I have a polygon bike in a medium and that fits me fine and the Canyon bikes are bigger. I think you will be fine
Hello! i know its been 1 year since you posted this and you probably wont respond but i would like to know the model of the crank bolt that you bought since i searched it from the same company but its an ml-140 and i want to make sure that you have the same one
cheers🍻
Do you think this bike would be suitable for some cross country style riding?
You can ride cross country with it, but if your planning on doing races or something you should buy a bike that was made for cross country
Hi, I was wondering, how tall are you and which size Stoic did you get? Does the size suit you well or do you wish you sized down/up?
I’m 6’ 1” and went with the L. I think it’s actually perfect for me!
@@MidwestMountainBike thanks, your videos are very informative, keep up the good work :)
@@MidwestMountainBike so 6'2" I should go with the large as recommended? It scared me to order because I figured it was gonna recommend the xl.
@@caljones1383 I'm 6'2 and ordered the Large one day ago. So now I have spend the last 24h worrying that it will be too small... :(
@@dillen66 hello David. Please, can you help me with some words on the riding position? I am 6'2" with long legs and I have to have a more upright position...for neck and back. How is it yours? Also, generally would go on recommendation...L...
Good morning, I really like the stoic, I have a doubt, the stoic two brings the fork sountour, how is this fork? Is it worth paying for stoic 4, or is two enough? Thank you, greetings from Mallorca
does it come with pedals?
It came with pedals but they were horrible generic pedals. I bought some new ones right away.
That bolt is not to hold your pedal on. The two 5mm hex bolts have that job. The plastic bolt is to aid you in compressing everything together before torquing the 2 main ones on the pedal splines.
Ever make it to Switchgrass?
Nope I’ve never heard of it, but I just looked up pictures and it looks sweet!
Is a Medium good at 176cm and 86cm leg length?
I will say put it on the canyon website and they recomend your size
Yea I agree with BLNL187, check out the website. In my opinion though, I think you’d be god with a Medium. I’m 185cm and a Large is good for me.
@@MidwestMountainBike I’m sure it’s been asked in one of the videos but what is your leg length. We are about the same height. Getting ready to pull the trigger and debating between a medium or large.
what's your weight? You jump such big things on ht...
I weigh about 180 lbs. And haha thanks! I love hitting jumps, it’s the best!! 🤘
Im mindblown you hit massive jumps how r u even able to just hit these
I also ride for a year now but im afraid these jumps were massive
I think he's nuts!
@@diannthomas7849 absolutely
I love his videos cause theyre not as many other big ytbrs videos planned in and out
Haha I don’t know! I’ve been riding a ton so that’s helped me build the confidence. I used to hit jumps on my BMX way back in the day, so that’s probably helped too. You’ll get there! Just ride as much as you can and you’ll build up the confidence!
Hi Kermit 😅
I really like this bike but the 1x10 cassette is a disadvantage vs similar bikes with 1x12, specially for climbing.
Your opinion?
Yea the 1x10 definitely takes some extra fitness on the climbs, but it’s honestly not too bad.
I have no idea what you are talking about. The granny gear is so easy i can't imagine where's it would be useful m
Awesome shimano breaks??? Ahahaha. You probably kidding me! This is a decent frame, for sure, good geometry, good value for money but components are just shit.
But you can't use it without new breaks, dropper post at all... Grips, saddle and drivetrain can be used, but they would always bother me. I don't know for sure, I have a new version of Stoic 4 with DT Swiss rims and didn't put my hands on Alex rims, but I kind shy to trust them as well especially after Enduro Magazine test review where they say tyre went of the rim at some point of time. I believe it doesn't happen for you if you don't ride technical and maintained decent tire pressure.
Stoic 2 now in Europe costs 719 euro which is very hard to beat. But with only necessary upgrades (200 euro dropper + 250 euro breaks set) you end up with 1150+ euro.
For 1450 (just 300 euro more than Stoic 2 with upgrades) euro you can get Stoic 4 already with dropper post, decent breaks, RockShox Pike!!!!! fork, better stem and DT Swiss weels!!!!! and good 12 speed wide range drivetrain!!
