Prototype Canyon DH Bike
- Thread starter peecee
- Start date
Horst with a side of scissor link please
yup its a bike.
FTFY
that hideous paint job brought the same thought to my mind...
Considering the all black one floating around too, I'm not so sure about that...

Then you'll never be to sure about anything in life!
They have clearly been taken by someone who was being very sneaky and shouldn't of have been taking pics, but all that aside you were on about the colour scheme which they have done on purpose as mentioned its to throw people from whats actually going on as they do with cars.
not digging triangular tubes but otherwise looks nice.
Half-carbon. The "diet coke" of carbon.This heavily ovalized chainring looks so weird
I am kinda disappointed, they opted for aluminium rear end.
- Four bar suspension deisgn
- Six possible head angle and chainstay configurations
- 62- 64 degree head angle options
- 430 or 466mm chainstay length
- Carbon front triangle
- Aluminium rear
- Konstruction bearings
- Protection – Fork bumper, downtube protector, 2C armour, heel protector
- Bent stays
- Cable cushion
- Sender fender (mudguard)
- Sag monitor
- 2 KG (35lbs)
SENDER CF 8.0 4.299€ black or red

how could you not want this and ride a demo instead...
B-b-b-but Ohlins!
that shit.... i like it!
good on ya, Canyon
good on ya, Canyon
Can somebody translate this sentence for me, please?
"What I did encounter something more on-edge in its nature, but you could also describe it as liveliness and speed."
Nice bike at a very nice price.

I'm not a carbon specialist, but the upper shock mount looks a little bit flimsy for my taste.
There is not much material to prevent the upper shock bolt to crack through the carbon structure.
Maybe it works due to the tensile loading of the carbon fibre at this point, but I don't remember any other manufacturer with a comparable shock mount.
But beside from that, a very nice looking carbon rig and very interesting pricing.

Well, thanks Fabien!
The sizing looks literally perfect and the adjustable geometry is very welcomed even though I think that a HA of about 63° is where it's at.
@Sandro, wasn't the CS length 446mm?
What is that moaning about the Fox damper, though? I've read a specific review of the damper ridden in a Gambler, where they had to use the maximum amount of spacers too. Did they go a little bit too far with the linearity of that damper or is the damping too loose in them?
Not really a fan of the seat tube, but otherwise: Me want!

That does sound more realistic and the mtb-news article got it right apparently, while i just copy all my content from the great scribes at Dirt.
Jesus it's the DHX Air fiasco again.
Can anyone tell me anything about the lowest model? It doesn't seem to be THAT great of a deal considering it's ZEE + Oem susp.
Also are OEM fox 40's still shit or is the damping in the one here better than O/V crap they put on gamblers a few years ago?
I've ridden the Float X2 on two bikes and it's an awesome shock. I wouldn't go blaming Fox for any shortcomings of frame design.
So you are trying to say that is looks flexy?
This.
The Gambler actually has a really good looking linear-progressive leverage curve though. I agree that the X2 is a great shock, but seems weird that they'd have issues with it on that bike.
Hard to say what the cross-sectional width is from the side. It's very possible that the eyelet on the frame is quite wide, which would be a much stronger set-up than a narrow plate with lots of meat infront of it. While it may not have the same threshold for a catastrophic failure, it's less likely to wallow out, which may as well be catastrophic as there's no way to repair it on a carbon frame.
Oh no...that's exactly what I'm talking about....lol
