The rationale that the Grand Canyon is Canyon’s best-selling mountain motorbike line is discreet. An aluminum hardtail is way more uncomplicated to make reasonably priced, and a lot more obtainable than any full-suspension or carbon motorbike.
But nonetheless, Canyon helps to keep refining the Grand Canyon to construct forged, top of the range, and relaxing motorcycles as an access level for brand new MTB riders.
“Whether you’re a junior adventurer or a grown-up who still loves fun and freedom, the new Grand Canyon is your ideal bike. Created to inspire and enable escape and enjoyment on every ride, for every rider.”

Higher dealing with with extra fashionable geometry
I believe perhaps an important replace here’s its all-new fashionable path geometry.
Certain, it’s nice that now even all the way down to the smallest XXS motorcycles with 27.5″ wheels, the entire Grand Canyons get 120mm go back and forth forks. However extra the most important is that entry-level riders gets the experience dealing with & regulate advantages of longer Achieve, slacker head angles, and steeper seat angles. Identical to a lot more dear mountain motorcycles.
Those aren’t precisely excessive, like numerous extra competitive fashionable mountain motorcycles at the moment, even though.
M length body Achieve grows 2cm to 450mm (and the XL is simply 490mm), headtubes slacken 1.5-2 levels to 66°, and seat angles steepen only one level to 75°.
However that’s masses to really feel extra strong descending, and nonetheless higher mountaineering, too.
