2021 Canyon Strive
Specs, Comparisons, Reviews, Galleries
The Canyon Strive includes adjustable geometry on the trail. Simply flick the Shapeshifter’s handlebar-mounted remote, and the Strive’s geometry and suspension change on the fly. In Uphill mode, you get steeper angles and a firmer ride feel for more efficient climbing. In Downhill mode the slacker head angle, lower center of gravity, and a full 150 millimeters of rear suspension let you rail the rowdiest descents with complete control.
