Great video content and quality! Really surprised you don't have more subscribers! I'm looking into a Canyon Neuron as well as my intro into mountain biking to be in conjunction with road cycling.
I had second thoughts about commenting and knocking the counter up to 70 but wanted to say as someone who it finding his feet on Signalhouse, Creek & Saville’s, it’s awesome to watch them ridden so slick. Also to see some of my lines climbing Creek Track are evidently not the right lines! Thanks for the video.
Hi mate. Comment away. And thanks for the kind words. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get down to the RNP for a ride as it’s outside of my 5km radius unfortunately but when restrictions ease I look forward to hitting up Savilles creek, snd Signalhouse again! 👍
Great video, good to see you climbing. Most dudes on here post videos of going downhill, they not even sending. Way more satisfaction climbing up a tricky rock garden. Rode down Savilles Ck DH Link on the weekend and then back up the Savilles Creek rock garden closest to the highway… good times, we rode across to Bobcat’s from the top… Enjoy your videos mate, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Canyon makes some cool bikes! I almost got a spectral but they were out of stock. Oh well! Hope you get a ton of awesome riding in on your new bike! I subbed you and look forward to more!
Thanks bro. I also originally ordered a Spectral but changed my order to Neuron after some further research based on my personal riding preferences. Both great bikes. It just comes down the type of trails you like to ride. For me my local trails are pretty raw with lots of rocks and roots and climbing as you can see from my videos so I decided the Neuron was probably a better choice for me. Absolutely loving it and very happy with the choice. It’s a great bike.
@@FiveMinuteRides absolutely! I went with my bike because it had more of that “bmx” geometry so it’s super lively and playful. It’s all about individual wants and needs!
Fantastic video mate. You've just helped me make my final decision. 1 question, would you replace the handlebar to a 20 - 30mm rise bar with a slight back sweep of 5 deg or so. I love the look of this bike as is, but the handlebar looks off... what do you rekon?
Don’t do them much but here and there I’ve ridden on the cycle way. It’s not awesome. Wide tires drag and gears aren’t meant for it. But still fine for a cruisy ride
Mine is a large. I’m 183cm tall so I’m on the boarder of M and L. I’m fairly comfortable on it but have ordered a 25mm riser bar and 50mm stem to replace the 60mm stem and I think this small tweak will make a big difference on longer rides.
@@FiveMinuteRides I am also 183cm tall, and leaning towards getting the large even though the website suggests a medium. Thanks again for your input, and ride safe! Cheers.
Stock Suspension was fine. But I changed the 130mm fork after 12 months for a 150mm fork. Second year of ownership I didn’t get to ride as much but for some reason the rear shock seized up and I had to replace it. I’ve not heard other people having that issue tho.
Congrats!!!! I got my neuron Al 7.0 3 weeks ago. Due to the pandemic and living in California I sure was lucky 🍀 to find a bike. Canyon builds great products and give you more bang for your buck. Enjoy your bike!!!
Good choice going with Canyon, cut out the middle man, save a ton of money, and more than likely got a better spec'd bike than a local bike shop could offer.
Great video! Do you really feel that the 67.5 degree head angle is steep? I'm currently riding a scott spark 710 with a 68.8 degree head tube angle and i'm leaning towards getting the neuron as i'm no longer racing competitively. Will the neuron be more confidence inspiring on the descents?
Can’t say as I’ve not rides a Spark but compared to my previous bike which was a Giant Talon 27.5 (so no comparison at all) it’s way more confidence inspiring on all trails. 😎
Stuck in the chois of bike!! Neuron 6,7,cf 8 🤔 dont know about carbon fiber frame. Cf 9 a bit exspensive🥴 got a 2015 grand canyon hardtail now and love it but the but y know😉
Either 6 or 7 AL frame is great bang for your buck. Mine is a 6 and I'm happy. CF if you want to race. Otherwise save the $$ for other bits. MTB'ing is a never ending money pit. HAHA
@@FiveMinuteRides dont you ever consider the Stoic ? its a all around biek with a pike fork 140 mm , 2.4 tires and cheaper than neuron and better spec, not Full Suspension , but my experience demonstrate that thats not matter almost the time i ride, my last FS bike ( specialized ) had a more harsh ride than my Canyon Stoic , i use low psi in the rear and its a beast of a bike. dont know if its the modern geometry . i waswith the neuron 6 in the basket also, but changed for the better specs stoic 4 , and less 100 euros . I ride Trails , some XC , some rought terrain, step climbs , and i like stoic better than my specialized FS . wayyyyy better
Ricardo Sousa no I was only interested in a full suspension bike. I looked at all the options in my price range and Neuron ticked all the bikes for me. I do believe it’s a personal thing tho. Everyone has different needs and ride style.
I'm thinking about buying this bike but I'm not sure. In every review I hear "conservative geometrie". What is the downfall of the old geo compared to the new slack geo? They are making mtb's for a while now so there most be something why they were sticking with the old geo. If it's not going to be a neuron I'm thinking about a Izzo but I can't decide :(
i was looking also for the neuron 6 , but for 100 euros less i bought the Stoic Hardtail with a 140mm pike at front , so i think i made a better choice even its a hardtail those big tires with low pressure it feels like Full suspencion bike , and its a beast , the better stoic (4) have better material than the cheapest neuron 6
@@rjsvids I see.. I'm thinking about buying the Neuron CF 8 or the Izzo comp. The CF 8 is available but the release date of the 2021 Izzo is not know yet.
I watched all the reviews too which is what made me go for a Neuron over a Spectral. Basically for me it came down to efficient riding. But different for everyone. I love it though. Very happy
The seat the Neuron comes with I found really uncomfortable so I switched it for the Giant Connect Upright seat my Giant Talon had, which I liked better. It’s purely a personal thing. You may be happy with the original seat. My only issue with the Giant one is the red stripe - doesn’t color match with bike so I’ve actually ordered another one with a grey stripe to finish the look of the bike off. Very exciting you’re getting yours soon too. It a really great bike, I’m really happy with it.
One of the best neuron reviews!
Stumbled on your channel while looking for Neuron reviews, contemplating the same bike. Nice stuff! *new sub*
Thanks man. Check out my latest vid where i also give the Neuron a review on the flow trails: Canyon Neuron 6 Flow Trail Ride at Mt Stromlo
Great video content and quality! Really surprised you don't have more subscribers! I'm looking into a Canyon Neuron as well as my intro into mountain biking to be in conjunction with road cycling.
Neuron has been a great bike for me and I think value for money it’s a really good choice.
Great trail! Enjoy your neuron, nothing beats a new bike on the trail feeling!
Thanks Mike

Reach out sometime for a Loftus ride. Always keen to make new MTB friends 👍
@@FiveMinuteRides cheers mate, will do
Nice vid. Loving my CF8 in Stealth. Only needed to upgrade the brakes to Guide RE as I was used to the bite of XT's on my previous bike
Great video. Digging my neuron cf 7. It’s really an awesome all around trail bike!

You’ll love it bro. It’s an awesome bike.
@@FiveMinuteRides cant wait ! The shipping is sure taking forever though
Finally someone that talks about how this bike climbs!!
It climbs well IMO
I'm waiting for cf 9.0 sl coming at beginning of January can't wait
Very exciting. CF 9 is a great choice.
Fantastic video mate. You've just helped me make my final decision.
1 question, would you replace the handlebar to a 20 - 30mm rise bar with a slight back sweep of 5 deg or so. I love the look of this bike as is, but the handlebar looks off... what do you rekon?
Yes mate I did exactly that with a Nukeproof carbon bar. 25mm rise. And I shortened the stem to a 50mm. Thanks for watching.
yes loftus is my local
Nice! You should try Wicked Wallaby at Barden Ridge
Cool thanks will look into it
Definitely make a trip to Welby at Mittagong
Great vid bro. What size your bike? I'm trying to buy one, being 190cm Canyon says L, but seems to be too small looking at the geo and specs.
Mine is Large. Canyon website said Medium for me but it didn’t seem right to me either. I’m 183cm. I would say definitely XL for you
I m 1,88 and sl92 and habe a xl
How the neuron 6 on the road? Short road rides?
Don’t do them much but here and there I’ve ridden on the cycle way. It’s not awesome. Wide tires drag and gears aren’t meant for it. But still fine for a cruisy ride
love my neuron 5

@@FiveMinuteRides lost a spoke yesterday and since ther stil is a parts drowt i had to mc gyver it. Or wait over 2 months to get a new rim
the spectral is better just because it has more travel, but yes your right the neuron is a great bike and is a big condender good choice of a mtb
Travel isn’t everything. I originally had a deposit on a spectral but changed because the all-rounder nature of the Neuron suited me better.
