Who has tried them? Seeing as you buy them direct from the company. Just wondering as I can't see how you can test ride them.

I got a Nerve AM6 about a month ago and I'm very happy with it so far. Rides well, is fairly light (28lbs with pedals) and a great spec for the price.

I've got a Nerve AM 7, bought after test riding a mate's AM8.

Great bike, very good burly all-rounder, copes well with most things including alpine DH while not being as much of a pig on the up as something like a Remedy. Suits my adventurous but sometimes a bit cowardly riding to a tee.

Any idea of sizes? I'm 5 ft 10, I'm guessing a medium is about right?

I'm 5'11" and my Medium is about perfect. I reckon you'd want a L once past 6'.

I'm 5'10" and also have a medium. It's only just long enough though and that's after I've put the seat back as far as it'll go and changed the stem from 70mm to 90mm.

Nerve AM 8 here, flipping ace bike. Medium feels just right for me at 5'10 with stock stem and the saddle pushed back a bit. Response from Canyon UK on the one minor technical query I had was rapid and helpful. Spares seem to arrive quickly from Germany too, I ordered a mech hanger after snapping one on holiday and it was waiting for me at home when I got back four days later.

Yes, I've looked a few times; I was just looking for confirmation. With something expensive like a bike I like to be 100% sure.

My roadlite has been superb so far.

Came with the brakes the wrong way round mind despite me asking them to set them up the proper way.
