Canyon presents new MTB fully for children
Parents often find it difficult to find a good mountain bike for children and teenagers. With the Neuron Young Hero, young shredders will also be able to enjoy full-suspension Canyon bikes in 2020.

After the Offspring children's bikes and the Grand Canyon in 24 inch Canyon is now launching a children's fully for the first time. Rainer Lauterbach from Canyon explains why they are now also offering a special bike for youngsters: "We want to introduce children to the fun of mountain biking. The problem is often that the suspension of most children's bikes is not designed for the low rider weight." This should change with the Neuron Young Hero change. This is because the Rockshox suspension elements are specially designed for low weights.

The Canyon Neuron YH rolls up 27.5-inch wheels and weighs in at 13.6 kilos. The frame for the children's bike comes from the Neuron AL-model range and is only available in size 2XS. The Ideal body size for the bike according to the manufacturer is 140-165 centimetres. The Canyon children's bike should therefore be of particular interest to parents whose Children between 10-14 years are old. The complete bike is now available for 1499 euros.
