ebike Canyon Strive On 2023 review first impressions strengths and weaknesses

The new Canyon Strive:ON ebike is an ebike that completely evolves the previous model.

The new geometries are closer to those of the competitors, just as the new rear suspension allows for better performance.

The choice of two long-lasting batteries is excellent, for a range of more than 100km.

Too bad the weight remains high.

The choice of the Bosch CX motor and the more powerful Bosch CX Race version is also excellent.

Too bad that this latest version is available in limited quantities.

Equally valid is the choice of 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheels.

The prices are good and, as always, the purchase and assistance are problematic, given that the sale is only online and there is no real official assistance network.

Merits:

Pedal assistance system: The Canyon Strive:On e-bike is equipped with a powerful pedal assistance system that allows you to tackle steep and long climbs with ease.

Battery Life: The Strive:On e-bike is equipped with a high-quality battery that offers excellent battery life. Battery life depends on the level of assistance selected and the terrain, but in general, the Strive offers good autonomy to tackle long hikes without worrying about running out of energy.

Quality components: Like many other Canyon bikes, the Strive:On e-bike is equipped with high-quality components. Powerful brakes, high-performance suspension and a reliable transmission all contribute to a pleasant driving experience.

Trail-ready geometry: The Strive:On e-bike features a geometry that is well suited to trail riding. The bike's head angle and wheelbase provide stability and control in technical and demanding terrain.

Defects:

Heavier weight: Due to the presence of the motor and battery, e-bikes tend to be heavier than traditional mountain bikes. This can affect handling and pedaling feel compared to a non-assist bike.

Higher cost: Quality e-bikes like the Canyon Strive:On can command a higher price than traditional mountain bikes due to the add-ons, like the motor and battery. This could be a barrier for some budget-minded riders.

Requires specific maintenance: E-bikes require specific maintenance for the electric assistance system. It is important to have basic knowledge of maintaining batteries and electric motors, or contact a qualified mechanic if you need assistance.

Limited range in turbo mode: Although e-bike batteries are getting better and better, the range in higher assistance modes (e.g. turbo mode) can be limited. If you are constantly using maximum assistance, you may need to plan your trips carefully to avoid running out of battery before the end of the trip.

In summary, the Canyon Strive:On 2023 is a valid, effective and other performing e-bike, not so cheap but the competitors do even worse.

Three models available:

Canyon Strive:ON Underdog 5800 euros

Canyon Strive:ON CF LTD 9700 euros

Canyon Strive:ON CF CFR 6999 euros.
