A fine and varied selection in the components

For the components there is a wide range of excellent manufacturers from Shimano, SRAM or even DT Swiss to Fox and RockShox quality products. In addition the in-house components of Canyon are relied on which shine through the best design and reliable output. They ensure that you get even the last km/h out of the mountain bike.

Groupsets / brakes / drive units

• Shimano and SRAM are the suppliers of choice for the components of the groupsets and brakes. In addition to the Shimano Deore they rely on the Shimano SLX, Shimano XTR. From SRAM the SRAM X01 Eagle AXS and other are used.

• The Canyon Trail bikes all have efficient disc brakes. They not only have better braking power than the rim brakes but also still perform in wet conditions.

• Bosch or Shimano products provide the necessary power for the drive units: such as the Bosch Performance Line or the Shimano Steps EP 8 motors.

Damper

• The trail bikes are available as hardtail as well as fully. Full-suspension mountain bikes have suspension connected to the rear wheel and a suspension fork. Hardtail MTB models in turn only have a suspension fork. For the rear shock the Fox Float DPS Performance, RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Flight Attendant or even the Fox Float X Performance are used. For the suspension fork the RockShox Judy Silver, SR Suntour XCR, RockShox Pike Select or even the FOX 34 Performance Elite are used among other,.

Saddle / Seatpost / Handlebar & Stem

• For the saddle they use Ergon, Velo or their own products, such as the Iridium WMN Fitness. For the seatpost, they also rely partly on the Iridium series such as the telescopic seatpost which is stepless lowerable. 

• Handlebars and stem come mostly from the Canyon research lab: either with the Caynon G5 components or again from the Iridium series. Furthermore the products of Race Face are used. 

Wheels / Tires

• For the wheels DT Swiss is a popular choice. Among them is the DT Swiss M1900 as well as the DT Swiss XMC 1501 tubeless ready wheelset. From AlexRims you will find among other things the AlexRims MD25 rims as part of the wheels.

• When it comes to tires Canyon mountain bikes like to rely on the quality of Schwalbe: such as the Schwalbe Rapid Rob, Schwalbe Tough Tom, Schwalbe Hans Dampf or even the Schwalbe Magic Marry. From Maxxis you get the proven Maxxis Minion DHRII and Maxxis Dissector tires on a few models.

Additional equipment

• In addition to the Grand Canyon Starter Kit you can also order a hoodie or many other bike accessories from the Canyon online store. Have a look at a pair of pedals too as these are usually not included.
