This full carbon Bosch CX Strive:ON is one of a pair of long-travel gravity-focused Canyon e-bikes. The other is the superb 5/5 scoring Torque:ON I reviewed recently with 15mm more rear travel, a 10mm longer travel fork and a Shimano motor powered by a whopping 900Wh battery.
Both roll on MX wheels, but Canyon isn’t just mindlessly filling in gaps in a theoretical travel range where each bike just has different amounts of travel and motors. On the contrary, each has its own completely unique frame shape and suspension layout, and perhaps more importantly, individual intention and character.
