Innovations 2022: Conway Xyron with Bosch Smart System
The Xyron is the moderate fully from Conway. For the coming model year, the Weiden-based company has injected the touring bike with even more comfort and off-road capability.

This is achieved with large 29er wheels and one centimetre more suspension travel. With 150 millimetres of travel at the rear and a 160 mm fork, the Xyron ranks in the trail and all-mountain category. Thanks to Bosch's new Smart System and large Powertube battery with 750 watt hours, the bikes should not run out of breath even on long uphills. An integrated kickstand mount even gives the models some everyday practicality. The new Xyron models can therefore confidently be seen as all-rounders in the Conway model range.

Three of the five model variants come with a carbon frame. The remaining bikes are made from aluminium. A look at the geometry table shows that the Xyron remains true to its moderate orientation despite the suspension travel update. The steering angle is moderate at 64.5 degrees for the carbon bikes and 65 degrees for the aluminium versions. This means that the bikes remain easy to control for beginners, even at slow speeds. At 459 millimetres in size L, the reach is also moderately average.

According to the manufacturer, the bikes should be roughly priced between €3999 and €8999. However, the figures are not yet finalised and may change before the start of sales due to fluctuations in freight and manufacturer costs. Conway offers a choice of frame sizes S, M, L and XL.
