Instead of just fitting a 120 mm fork and the Racebike Lux CF down-country-capable, the bike direct mail order company Canyon a more complex route. This is because, in addition to the longer fork and the minimally larger stroke on the shock, the main frame and therefore the geometry of the Lux Trail has been fundamentally adapted. The steering angle is a full 2.4 degrees slacker and the reach has been significantly increased for a longer front centre. Our test bike in size M is already ten millimetres longer than the normal Lux in size L.
The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
