Remarkable: The 6.0 is not even heavier than the 7.0! Thanks to the modern sports geometry with long reach and short stays, the bike rides extremely safely. The long front triangle with the potent 29-inch tyres at the front leads unperturbed over the roughest terrain, while the short rear triangle is responsible for manoeuvrability and riding fun. All of this works with an actively demanding riding style and at higher speeds. Here, the chassis acts as a hoover for obstacles of all kinds. Uphill, the tried-and-tested Shimano unit pushes powerfully, and especially in the high geometry position (Vario geometry) and with the specially adapted 165 mm cranks, you never run the risk of touching down. Rather, the front wheel tends to rebel when the terrain gets too steep and rough. Canyon lacks countermeasures here.
