Canyon Strive:ON CFR Underdog 750 Review

The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. The Bosch motor takes away the fear of even the steepest ramps. The combination of a very well-rounded riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery characterises the Bosch Performance Line CX. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

Carbon is considered a premium material in the bike industry. In the price range about 6000€, aluminium is usually the frame material used. With the carbon frame, Canyon can clearly differentiate itself from many competitors. A good chassis sits in rugged terrain and generates plenty of traction. That's exactly what the good Fox chassis in the Strive:ON CFR Underdog 750 hits. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. At the brakes, Canyon middle class four pistons brakes by SRAM are used. For an Enduro , the Maxxis tires with a width of #reifen_inch_breite inches are relatively narrow. In our opinion, Canyon could have put on wider tires. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. With a high Reach value, Canyon follows the calls of end-users for modern geometries. But the engineers don't lose sight of the remaining geometry measurements. When considering the whole picture, it must be said that the remaining geometry values very good harmonise. Also, weight is an important factor when it comes to EMTB. The Strive:ON CFR Underdog 750 isn't exactly shining in this regard. There are lighter Enduros on the market.
