Key features

Intuitive handling

The Neuron impresses with its intuitive handling and inspires you to confidently set off for new horizons. It sits quietly on the trail and smoothly insulates you from impacts so you can go with the flow.

Triple Phase Suspension

The Neuron AL is equipped with Triple Phase Suspension that ensures optimal control during your ride. The leverage curve features small bump sensitivity at the start for incredible traction. Mid-stroke stability delivers speed and momentum to push through compressions and jump over features. On bigger hits, the suspension ramps up progressively to avoid bottoming out making for an overall smoother and more comfortable ride.

Geometry & wheels

Stability and control in technical terrain and on trails, a capable and confidence inspiring geometry for the Neuron on 29er Wheels (M- XL) and smaller wheels for smaller riders (650B on XS and S):66° Head Tube angle, 76° Seat Tube Angle, 455mm Reach (Size M). For more details check out the geometry table.

Integrated chainstay protection

The Neuron’s integrated chainstay protector keeps the frame safe and in pristine condition and also eliminates annoying chain slap noises.

Ready to drop

All Neuron bikes come with a dropper post as standard letting you thread the needle on technical trails. In 2023 we shrank the seat tube by 20 mm, allowing you to run longer-travel dropper posts so that all riders can get their saddle low and well out of the way.

Stored and secure

Pack some essential tools or extra snacks for your ride with the Canyon Load Bag that mounts directly to the frame.

Quick-release through axle

With the Quixle through-axle system, the Neuron AL provides riders with the best of both worlds. The Quixle delivers the stiffness and improved handling of a through axle setup while also providing the easy removal and install of a quick release. The handle tucks away neatly for tool-free removal, adding to its versatility and making it an ideal choice for those who prioritize speed and convenience.

Universal hanger

The state-of -the-art UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) from SRAM is compatible with all makes of derailleurs which makes repairs and upgrades as hassle-free as possible.

Bike classification

This category also covers the requirements of categories 1-2. In addition it includes use on harsher, unpaved terrain. The scope for these bikes includes occasional jumps up to a maximum height of 60 cm. Jumps of this scale can cause inexperienced riders to have accidents on landing, which can result in injury. Hardtail mountain bikes and full-suspension bikes with short travel are included in this category.
