Highlights Grand Canyon AL 8

Key features

The most durable frame in its class

Built to endure season after season of all-out trail riding, the Grand Canyon’s aluminium frame is designed to last. Each bike meets our rigorous Category 3 testing standards (on par with our full-suspension Neuron), and is packed full of smart features like an easy-to-replace universal derailleur, frame protection that really works, and stiffness-boosting 12 mm axles. At just 1989g (size M) the high grade alloy is lightweight too, ensuring you can rack up the kilometers with ease and speed.

Perfect fit at every size

With bikes catering to riders 125-202 cm across eight sizes (3XS-XL), the Grand Canyon has one of the broadest fit ranges of any mountain bike ever made. Thanks to adjusted top tube and chainstay lengths in each individual size, the frame always maintains its perfectly balanced geometry. Plus, for the same confidence-inspiring handling across all sizes, we scale the wheel size according to the frame – using 29" wheels on S – XL, 27.5"wheels on 2XS – XS, and 24" wheels on the smallest 3XS models.

The most versatile Canyon MTB. Ever.

Load and pack as much or as little as you need: with 8 mounting points at key points across the frame, the Grand Canyon has you covered for everything from bikepacking epics to quick grocery runs. Attach a rack with mudguard, up to three bottle cages, a kickstand, bags on the upper and under side of the top tube, lights or bike computers on the stem’s gear interface, and even fit a trailer. Or strip it down again for pure trail riding vibes.

Truly trail-capable components

This is a proper trail hardtail with high-quality parts from top to bottom.Top-tier models come equipped with dropper posts to dramatically increase manoeuvrability while descending, with robust 120 mm suspension forks for increased grip and comfort on rough terrain. Powerful, precise hydraulic disc brakes boost control and stopping power on the trail when you need it most, and wide, stiff aluminum handlebars enhance steering precision in quick corners.

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.
