So, in the hunt for a new bike. and tested a few in Tignes last week. Tried the Strive, Nerve AM and Dropzone.
Like them all, and im really tempted by the Strive as it seems to be the middle ground between something that can can climb and descend even though its about £500 more then the Nerve.
Anyone got any of these that can give me pros and cons of them...?
Cheers,
nerve CF 8.0
Why are you restricting your choice to only Canyons?
They are the best I have tested so far. Although I haven't tested others as thoroughly as the Canyons, the Canyon bikes all have been (IMO) better than the others I have tested (Orange5, Zesty, Blur).
And they cant be beaten on value.
I am open to suggestions though.
After months of research, which is quite had where canyon bikes are concerned I eventually plumped for the ES9.0....it arrived 4 weeks ago and the bike is immense! Been hammering it around the peaks and the thing just loves.......well everything to be honest, climbs amazing well with pro pedal and the forks at 120 locked out, then with the forks whacked up to 160 and pro pedal turned off the rocky descents taken at speed are unbelievable! This thing just glides over anything in its way. Best thing I've bought for many a year!
Out of the limited reviews/articles I found only ever good things were said about them. The dirt magazine review which said "if you have an engine to power these toys of speed to the top and along then you have the only bike you will ever need" swayed my decision and when it does arrive if it's not right then youve got a 30 day return, obviously you can't have been out hammering it. I went for the small as I'm 5.7 with a 30" inside leg
