I'm looking to sort a new Enduro bike for next year to get me up another two steps on the podium! If my sponsorship stuff doesn't work out I'd be tempted by the Canyon Strive, looks like a lot of bike for reasonable money, any reports on dealing with them? And Alfie, don't be getting in a snot, I want to drop up and see what you have too!
Canyon Bikes
Well my frame got a hairline crack at seatpost emailed them some images and 3 weeks later I had a new frame.still have the old one too. I think they are great, also lost a chainsuck plate off my carbon bike and they posted me one out free. They're a huge brand now, they sponsor the roc and had two teams in the vuelta. The sizing on the strives can be a bit small so be careful with it.
Iv a carbon hard tail. No issues dealing with them online. Despatched and delivered on the hour they said it would be
Cheers lads, all reports sound good, a lad down the road has a Canyon and is very positive about them too. Ye, I'd be very fearful of getting the size wrong if I went down that road.
What size are u normally. Both myself and oz have large ht. Going to roc in 3 weeks and will be demoing the strive for size if that's any help
Cool, take some pic's. I'm 5'7" with a 30" inside leg (stumpy!) so I'm caught between small and medium which usually mean I need to sit on a bike to be sure of clearance. Life can be such a problem..............
In the same boat Stevo, was looking at the Spectral but now thinking of the Strive as I like the look of that adjustable rear linkage thingy that it has this year. By all accounts those that have had issues seem to have had them resolved with minimal fuss so customer service wise they seem v good. Terry, it would be great if you could throw a leg over a large and medium and report back. I've been on Andy's Nerve 29er and Oscars 29er hardtail so I'm veering towards Large. I've heard that they have a good returns policy if you do go wrong, once it's not been used obviously...
