Expirience with the Canyon Grand Canyon 8

Canyon Grand Canyon 8 Review
Ludwig Döhl
With 120 mm of travel, slightly larger tires and a telescopic post, the Grand Canyon 8 wants to be able to do more than just tours. The universal orientation makes it one of the best under 1500 Euro. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. In the saddle of the tours with lots of high meters your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. All in all, in the on long tours with lots of trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. Canyon gives 6 years warranty on the bike.

Geometry

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
