The Canyon Lux Trail 2027 is a mountain bike that has undergone a significant transformation, with a focus on increased travel, a more aggressive geometry, and a lighter weight. The bike's new features include a 140mm front travel and 125mm rear travel, a 64.8-degree head angle, and a carbon frame weighing only 1,850 grams in size M. These changes have been made to enhance the bike's descending capability and technical terrain handling, while still maintaining its low weight and high pedaling efficiency.
One of the key innovations is the use of specific chainstays according to size, which allows for a more balanced weight distribution for cyclists of different heights. The bike's geometry has also been revised to achieve a more centered position and increased stability at high speeds, without compromising its handling on slower and more winding terrain.
The new Lux Trail features a linkage made using 3D forging and optimized through finite element analysis, which weighs only 45 grams. The bike also comes with 180mm discs front and rear, and a FOX 36 SL fork in the higher versions. The rear suspension has been revised to maintain the Flex Stay system, with a new independent mount for the rear brake caliper to improve its operation.
The Lux Trail 2027 is available in five sizes, from XS to XL, with prices ranging from 2,999 to 5,999 euros. The bike's new features and improved performance make it a compelling choice for mountain bikers looking for a bike that can handle both technical terrain and fast descents.
