Canyon Strive AL 8.0 (2014)

The lightweight Strive AL 8.0 is the perfect companion for extreme trail riding. With its adjustable travel Fox Talas fork, drive-neutral rear and balanced geometry, it masters steep ascents effortlessly. The “trail optimized geometry” provides a low centre of gravity and shortened chainstays allow agile handling, whilst on fast bumpy sections the bike remains composed due to its slack steering angle.

A robust Fox chassis gives excellent surface responsiveness and enables accurate steering so you can choose the perfect line on the toughest terrain. The Avid Elixir 7 Trail four-piston brakes provide maximum control on even the longest descents with powerful, easily controllable braking performance exactly where it’s needed. When pedalling back up to speed you can rely the e*thirteen TRS cranks with a 30mm oversize axle to give you absolute rigidity for minimum weight.

Our "raw club" colour option has a raw, untreated alloy base, which is given a coating of clear lacquer to protect the frame.
