Canyon Nerve AM 8.0
Canyon has put a sophisticated all-mountain bike on its wheels that fully meets the definition of the category.
Anyone looking to criticise the Nerve AM might mention the bland black look. But that's about it. There's no more reason to complain. As usual with Canyon, the spec is of a high standard, and the suspension components are top-of-the-range Fox models with all adjustment options. The Shimano XT drivetrain, stable brakes and fat tyres are a very confidence-building measure for rough downhills. Foolproof handling uphill and downhill and a well-balanced chassis form the basis for the verdict: all-rounder. The rear works a lot without a platform - which annoyed some riders.
Conclusion: Canyon puts a sophisticated all-mountain bike on its wheels that fully meets the definition of the category.
