Have you purchased an E-Bike from a direct sales brand? If so did you build it yourself or take it to your local mechanic for a thorough check over? Let us know 👇
i bought the canyon neuron:ON 8 and love it...set it up myself... only issue i had was the plastic battery cover wasn't flush with the main downtube, but i adjusted the top battery connector and that's sorted... tho, one guy got an error E01020 - Sensor defect on the EP8, this is on his 5 week spectral...
Got a pre assembled Cube from an online reseller. Very quick to assemble. But had to do a lot of tuning. Missing grease in headet bearing and freehub. A lot of badly torqued stuff, even untightened brake calipers ! Lucky I double checked everything
That's a great bike, and wouldn't it be amazing if we ebikers had a charging network where we could go out as long as we like and as far as we like without worrying about our batteries going flat, imagine the possibilities of that .
Went to collect my Giant Fathom 29 2 electric bike today. Was built up by the shop. Can’t wait to take it out on the trail with my dad. Got to start somewhere ( was £2845 what isn’t cheap by any means but child’s play to this 😂) Maybe in the future I’ll be able to afford a bike like this 😁😂
Hi EMBN, i would love to see an extra Video where you guys test the Bike. There were some great SHORT scence from Chris riding it. Especially the difference to the Spectral On and the different capabilities. Is there coming an extra video ?? Great Job, great chanel btw.
Spectral is all the way better considering that torque has 500wh battery, weights more and has the same motor that's not so cheap on battery consumption 😬
Hi Steve, After Buying my cube E, that was in a box,, after assembling it😁👍I spent more time trying to work out my bosch computer 😂😂. Now loving the feel and ride experience after riding conventional cross country for 30 years, 😁👍❤️💪🇬🇧. Keep the good work up 💙💙
Yes keep everything. Steve do you have a box in the kitchen labeled "pieces of string too short to use" Swapping 2 x 500 wh batteries works well as you save nearly 1kg .
at 9:32-9:34 you can see how stiff the rear end is. Or not. such a wobble scares me. An direkt Sales, yeah why not. I was long time a Canyon Customer but since my Spectral:ON CF an the following customer support, ähm not again. 15 Weeks of repair, to destroy the bike! Now i got no bike an the new Spectral is sold out. I dont buy any Canyon. But the Spectral:ON CF was an great bike!
I backed the video up immediately when I saw that. Kinda shocking. Maybe it looked more radical from that angle than it was. Looks like an awesome bike.
Love Shimano and Canyon makes great bike (but not as cheap as it was to be) but not fan of the last japanese motor. Kind of funny that the germans didn't stick to the german motor. Anyways beautiful EMB! 4:56 nothing to add! 9:33 wow the Wheel looks like chewing gum!
Did the same with my Bullit - I needed the 5mm Allen torque wrench for the carbon bars from ‘the shed’ (as it didn’t come with the bike) plus the tyre and shock pumps. Good to go! Talking about the EP8, still looking forward to some recommended settings from your friend who’s built the ‘rolling road’ power meter you showed a while ago. For example, I turn down the torque on my EP8 in Eco and Trail, but it takes me longer to get round (I’m only quite fit 🤣) and that, of course, means I’m sucking energy from the motor for a longer period of time... Where does that ‘balance’ lie between torque setting and ride duration?
What is it with cats and boxes! My wife just did an unboxing vid on her ‘Pilot Turns MTB Girl’ channel of the 2021 Kenevo and our cat was straight in on the action!
Maybe it’s time for a different embn host. Throwing parts and charger around, complaining about people who work on and maintain their own bikes..? What’s the deal with this guy. He’s constantly arrogant to guests on the show and frankly, he’s the only host in the GCN/MBN/EMBN network I cant stand watching.
I don't get why Canyon didn't make a third configuration, placed in the middle with better rockshox or mid range fox suspension. So select + or elite. You either get fancy fox bling or entry level rockshox, not even compression adjustable. Not my kind of bikes.
I bought a Canyon Neuron:ON 7.0 for my father last year and it had the same bold slogan on its box.... Lets just say i can assure you that it was not made with passion but definitely in a hurry. I hope Canyon has overcome these "Corona bike demand" quality issues by now as my father's Neuron had some really annoying production quality flaws with its frame, especially the battery compartment which took quite a lot of effort and experimentation with different solutions to fix it in the end. Even the two tiny holes for the bottle cage were poorly drilled and badly aligned , turning a one minute simple job of attaching the bottle cage into a one hour long headache. And yes, fixing it ourselves was certainly the better option than sending the bike in. If we did that, we would most likely still be waiting today :-D
This or Giant TRANCE X E+ PRO 1 ... giant have better motor and battery but canyon is more "agressive" and have better parts... i dont know - advise me...
I have a 20212 Bulls e stream with brose Mag S 2021 E core with Shimano ep8 2021 copperhead with Bosch cx I returned the core with shimano Because the motor was so weak. Bosch is winner all day
Keep the box for posting the bike back to the manufacturer if something goes wrong with it. This direct purchase model is wrong for EMTB in my opinion. If a fault develops you’re not riding anytime soon.
I would probably ask a question in "the comments below" if you ever bother to answer them. Wrote and asked before and was always ignored. Thanks but not thanks
You are weired, I think you are riding your bike instead of washing, disassemble, reassemble, polish, detail and look at it.... also how you were throwing away the front Tire ... Are you not afraid to break it? ... Maybe it is time to build a stand which is rotating so you can better look at the bike and obsess about technical details... Instead of mindlessly riding it in the dirt and risking it being damaged..

Got a Pathlite:ON by Canyon since last summer, so far very happy and about 3400 KM on it.
Got a pre assembled Cube from an online reseller. Very quick to assemble. But had to do a lot of tuning. Missing grease in headet bearing and freehub. A lot of badly torqued stuff, even untightened brake calipers ! Lucky I double checked everything

@@sarahmarshall4853 They’ve had that in France in the hills for over 5 years. The issue is more the speed of charging.
"Keep that box. I guarantee it will come in handy!" Spoken like a true old geezer who probably has a shed to keep his boxes ^^
what we learned: be very careful with the box, but throw other stuff like wheel and charger around like its garbage
It's not Steve;s brand he like more specialized ..
That wheel flex at 8:37 😮
Mavic 👍
I'm struggling to put my Canyon together.... Mostly because I can't afford one

Canyon recommends you keep the box, so you can send the bike back to them for repairs etc. 👍
" that box will come in handy " famous last words of a hoarder
That is one good looking bike. Why can't other brands make bikes look this nice?
Spectral is all the way better considering that torque has 500wh battery, weights more and has the same motor that's not so cheap on battery consumption 😬
Norco Range VLT C2
Paddles man, not going anywhere without them 🤣
It's not a boat. I know you meant pedals? 😉
Wish it was 29
Good vid
Nice to see you inspiring the masses.
It does provoke some anxiety no matter how many bike you have ridden.
Canyon nice bike.
Superb machine and easy setup !
Would be good to get a comparison of the spectral:on and torque:on please
Support has helped a lot
Canyon just jumped in the canadian market. Hopefully they find a way to offer their emtb's here. Great looking bikes

And a 6mm Allen key for the fork pinch bolt, and 6 or 8mm for the pedals
Fork pinch bolt essential
Yes keep everything. Steve do you have a box in the kitchen labeled "pieces of string too short to use" Swapping 2 x 500 wh batteries works well as you save nearly 1kg .
When I see what the rear end of the bike does at 9:32 I consider selling my bikes and get a golf equipment :-)

Jebus that is hell of alot of twist ,wonder what the longterm effect is going to be,can't see it being good
I backed the video up immediately when I saw that. Kinda shocking. Maybe it looked more radical from that angle than it was. Looks like an awesome bike.
Interested to see more content on this bike. Seems sweet.
Chris has been riding his a lot at the local freeride spots!
How has Chris and Steve got the torque ON still not available on the website for us common folk ?
Steve, you used to be the most beautiful thing in EMBN, but then.... your CAT did a cameo. I’m in looooove
Super nice bike 😮
Love how you dive right in biting off those zip ties....new bike day, it is exciting 👍
Love Shimano and Canyon makes great bike (but not as cheap as it was to be) but not fan of the last japanese motor. Kind of funny that the germans didn't stick to the german motor. Anyways beautiful EMB!
4:56 nothing to add!

Work of art!
I‘d like to see your face when you hit the air pedals 😅
Would probably make a good caption contest 🤣
i love this bike 😍
Did you put the pedals on without tools? Otherwise good video and a great looking bike
That piggyback shock is soooooo close to the frame
It’s still far enough to clear it... 😀
yeah thought the same, looks like it is almost touching the upper tube
Looking forward to the the USA getting the new Canyon EMTB’s, August 2021 is the forecast on the Canyon Site
Does it also come with tools for mounting the pedals?
Qq, where was the battery? Can’t find it on my canyon delivery :(
What is it with cats and boxes! My wife just did an unboxing vid on her ‘Pilot Turns MTB Girl’ channel of the 2021 Kenevo and our cat was straight in on the action!
Cannot wait until Canyon allows me to purchase this.
Don’t forget the peddle,s,great looking bike 👍
You will probably need to install pedals also.....
Maybe it’s time for a different embn host. Throwing parts and charger around, complaining about people who work on and maintain their own bikes..? What’s the deal with this guy. He’s constantly arrogant to guests on the show and frankly, he’s the only host in the GCN/MBN/EMBN network I cant stand watching.
I had the same thought... I really can't make myself watch this guy anymore....
@@Finx5008 I hate to bash the guy but its turning me away from the channel.
as soon as they introduce a full carbon version, im in.
Is this a re-run of a previous video?
Pedals?
Wow so beautiful ebike. Until its just a dream. Lol
I noticed that there's a water bottle on there. I didn't get one of those on mine. LOL
Why can’t shimano (I’m assuming they make the motor) put some nicer cranks on like xt cranks instead of the cheap ones that they come with?
I don't get why Canyon didn't make a third configuration, placed in the middle with better rockshox or mid range fox suspension. So
select + or elite. You either get fancy fox bling or entry level rockshox, not even compression adjustable. Not my kind of bikes.
There is definately a tool involved.
Steve is such a contrarian
The only tool there is the one assembling the Canyon...what a good example he sets tossing the wheel and charger around.....muppet.!!!
I keep watching these videos and they just make me sad knowing I will never be able to geta great mountain bike let alone a good E=mountain bike. 😪
I can't find decent e-mtb in stock Anywhere!
Can you do a long time review
So nice wish I hadn't wasted my money on a levo
Welded together by Stevie Wonder
And painted by Ray Charles...🤣🤣
Don’t like how close that piggy back is to the top tube

I have a
20212 Bulls e stream with brose Mag S
2021 E core with Shimano ep8
2021 copperhead with Bosch cx
I returned the core with shimano Because the motor was so weak.
Bosch is winner all day
Pedals???
Never mind open the box let me see you put it all back in 😉😉😉😉😉atb ..👍
Hope they put some paint in the box, that nasty colour looks like primer.
There are the pedals missing to this build.
Keep the box for posting the bike back to the manufacturer if something goes wrong with it.

The cat sprayed on your leg.
Is the derailleur really tucked that far up next to the cassette? if so, that is awesome! I just bent mine on my Levo Comp and thought it hung to low.
IKEA😀
THE question ❓ is ... How much € ?
Made with Passion 🤣 Rotwild RX750 is the only German bike with Passion ...
A good bike at a decent price ( 5999 euros ) .
That video was terrible. Are you running out of material these days?
Shame you can’t get one for love nor money
Except they are sold out....nor you buy these on most cycle to work schemes.
Shame.

Really annoys me who he’s just throwing the charger and wheel about
