Yeah, same. I’ve been looking for reviews everywhere but left a bit unclear about their real opinion, but I like how straightforward he was in this video.
Seriuosly. This is one of the best review i have seen. You can actually use this review to make a determination of what kind of bike you want to go for. Something i especially liked was the detailed telling of how many different rides you used it for. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful review. Was very impressed with the amount of information you provided and the confidence in your tone really showed that you knew what you were talking about. I also loved the ending of the video on the jumps, it really gave a good idea of the types of jumps a person could hit on this bike. Keep up the good work bro!!
I am a XC rider myself, just picked up the Neuron CF 8 can't wait to get out on it! Thanks for the review it was very helpful, knowing Canyon has such good customer support is very reassuring. Ride on!
Thanks for this review. Had a chance to get this same bike from Canyon outlet. It ticks all boxes for me, some bike park days and xc racing. As you said, best all around bike. Stoked!!!
I'm getting the neuron cf 9 sl can't wait the 1st week of January! It's a beautiful bike I already have a supercaliber this will be my 1st trail bike!!!
Nice review! And you're a really good rider! Glad they gave you good customer service and replaced that frame for you. I might buy a Neuron when it is available, but I may want a bike with a bit slacker the head angle - maybe 66-67, a bit steeper in the seat angle, 75.5 to 76, and a longer reach on a medium, so it feels stable with a very short stem. Other bikes have those numbers, like the Fezzari Signal Peak, new Trek Top Fuel, one model year behind of the Santa Cruz 5010 and Tallboy, Specialized Epic Evo and Stumpjumper Comp, but I sure do like the looks of those Canyons.
This was very helpful ! It's easy to get caught up in the "slacker" mindset. A friend got one recently and I played around a bit on it in a lot. First bunny hop was kind of a woah moment. Reading on paper the head angle looks a bit dissapointing compared to others and I believe the rear rim is even more narrow than the not all that wide front. However, these couple things may very well be what makes it so playful. Hadn't really thought of the adjustments you made for steeper stuff. Definately have me reconsidering again. The Orbea Occam H30 is the other bike I've been considering.
nice review, have the same bike. also orderd 35mm riser bar. wich Dropper and Saddle do u use? i hope with this changes it will get more comftortable in the downhill. greetings from germany
Thank you for the great review. I am really considering a Neuron. However, in almost every review they have mentioned that the seatpost is too high. I appreciate that you found a workaround, but why doesn't Canyon fix this?
I seriously doubt that pedalling uphill it's just as stiff as a hardtail. I mean, you have rear suspension. That suspension moves under load. Anyway, can you fully lock out the suspension? I was looking at this year's Neuron CF8, and it doesn't appear that you can do that. At least not remotely.
This is a very good and honest review! what size is your neuron and how tall are you? im used to having a medium hardtail 2013 specialized carve pro 29er, but canyon says i fit small neuron with 27.5 wheels.... so im still thinking if i should get one. maybe you can help me decide. thanks!!!
Hi jack, may i know what size you got? im 177cm 5'10 and im going for a size M on the neuron cf 8, but some say that i should go for the L size, really dont know what to get. great review thanks
Thank you for the great review! :) After all you did with the bike: do you think it would have been better to take the neuron version with 140 mm suspension or are you happy with the 130mm?
Nice not just a unboxing vid with lame tunes. 👍 stuck in the chois betwen a strive and neuron 8🤔 i dont do to much narly downhill so think i might go fore the neuron
Hi. I was looking at this bike, but the Strive keeps attracting me even more. Do you think the Strive could keep up with the all-round performance of the Neuron? Because I am planning to hit some rough stuff but, in an equal measure, I also plan week-ends with long days in the saddle.
While I haven't tried the strive yet I have heard that its still an excellent climber because of the shapeshifter. If your racing or riding a lot of double black trails with jumps I'd say go with the strive. Although the neuron blew me away with how capable it was even at downhill parks. It really comes down to preference, wether you like a more poppy and playful ride vs a more forgiving capable machine.
Great review! Apart from rising the bar did you also shorten the stem? I'm still doubting if I should go for 40mm stem and 780mm wide bars. Now 60/760. Thanks!
I tried shortening the stem and it made the steering feel a bit twitchy. I actually ended up putting the 60ml stem back on. That said with the wider 780 ml bars the shorter stem would probably work just fine and give a more predictable feel. I would say go for the shorter stem!
This is actually one of the better reviews ive seen. Keep up the great work!

Great review! Like it when you are sharing you actual feelings about it instead of pointing out what components are used on this bike.
This is a very good and honest review! Also I enjoy your content a lot.

Hi. How does this bike ride on XC trails? Are you glad you bought a neuron? Or is Lux better for cross-country?
One of the best reviews i found about the Neuron! 💪🏼
Thanks for this review. Had a chance to get this same bike from Canyon outlet. It ticks all boxes for me, some bike park days and xc racing. As you said, best all around bike. Stoked!!!
Cheers for the video Jack... really helpful. Keep the videos rolling.
Good honest, informative, and entertaining review. Well done!
Man this is such a good review, would be cool to see more clips of you at the bike park. Might take my 2019 neuron to one soon!
I'm getting the neuron cf 9 sl can't wait the 1st week of January! It's a beautiful bike I already have a supercaliber this will be my 1st trail bike!!!
Best review of this bike and your Experience with Canyon. I will be buying this bike in your recommendation. Thankyou

And what did you choose? These two are my considerable options now :)
Best video on this bike!
Just got the CF8 and love it.Will need to upgrade the SRAM T brakes though as more used to XT's
Nice Review, i like that you put some ride vids in it.
Thanks for your two cents.
nice review, have the same bike. also orderd 35mm riser bar. wich Dropper and Saddle do u use? i hope with this changes it will get more comftortable in the downhill. greetings from germany
Thank you man!
Thank you for the great review.
I am really considering a Neuron.

Great review. How has the bike performed since you did the review? Any issues since then? Frame holding up?
I seriously doubt that pedalling uphill it's just as stiff as a hardtail. I mean, you have rear suspension. That suspension moves under load.
Anyway, can you fully lock out the suspension? I was looking at this year's Neuron CF8, and it doesn't appear that you can do that. At least not remotely.

Nice review. I have a question. What tyre size are you using? Or more directly, is it possible to install 29 x 2.5 tyres to a neuron? Thanks
Thanks!, great video :-)
3:33 This is what puts me off from considering carbon...
great review, does the neuron really have a lockout? or did you upgrade the suspension?
The shock it comes with does have a lockout!
what do you think of the AL version? I wonder if the frame would have cracked there as well...
Thanks, good and informativ, I am looking in detial on one to buy as soon they are available again. Roger Sweden
Great video review!
Reply good review M8! Good video and audio quality. Did you have to pay for the new frame or was that within the warranty?
It was within the warranty, they even paid for the shipping of the box!
@@jackhanson3649 Ah thank you
your review is sooooooooooooooooo good!!!! stay safe buddy
Wow good
Nice not just a unboxing vid with lame tunes. 👍 stuck in the chois betwen a strive and neuron 8🤔 i dont do to much narly downhill so think i might go fore the neuron
Are there any low profile saddles that you would recommend to complement the Neuron?
I recommend the wtb Silverado. I’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s great!
Did they replace the frame for free? If not how much did it cost you.
Yes they did, and it was honestly the greatest customer support I've ever seen!
NICE JOB!

HI Jack, what frame size did you get and how tall are you?
Elliot Gill I’m 6:2 on a size XL
How does it fit you? I'm 6'5" and have doubts I will fit on an XL.
