Launched yesterday, the new Canyon Lux Trail is the brand’s latest full-suspension mountain bike, said to offer peak efficiency on climbs and descents. For more on this new model, check out all the details below…

The new Canyon Lux Trail is a redesigned version of the previous model, which the brand says shares little with it, save for the name and the flex-stay technology. Said to be both a better climber and descender, the new Lux Trail features a 140mm front/125mm rear suspension platform on a lightweight carbon frame they claim is one of the lightest in its class. The raw frame is quoted at just 1,850 grams, while supposedly being stronger, more capable, more rider-friendly, and offering better in-frame storage. The Lux Trail uses traditional internal cable routing that doesn’t require routing the cables through the headset, space for 180mm rotors, an external accessory mount, and room for two bottles in the main triangle on all sizes.

Canyon says it created a new 3D-forged rocker link that’s lighter and stiffer than before. The stiffer link is said to improve linkage durability and offer ease of maintenance for average users. The new design has fewer small parts, clearly defined service points, and improved bearing access for ease in repair and longevity. Though Canyon makes it clear that this shouldn’t be confused with a downhill enduro bike, they emphasize the bike’s capability on rough terrain. With a slack 64.8-degree head tube angle, a 140mm FOX fork, and a longer wheelbase than the prior version, it looks plenty capable. Other improvements and changes include the in-frame storage being “watertight,” as well as the addition of an accessory point beneath the top tube that users can bolt a small bag onto or Canyon’s included multi-tool.

The Lux Trail launched with four builds priced from $4,000 to $7,000. Unlike some of their other releases, all models will be available across the US and EU markets. While each version differs in wheels, rear shock, and component specs, three of the four models feature the FOX 36 SL fork, with the most affordable version of the bike running the FOX 34 Rhythm Grip fork. The three more expensive models all use some variation of a SRAM groupset, while the entry-level option opts for a Shimano XT drivetrain.
