      Thanks dude. I’m excited to get more rides in on this thing. Fall is here and it is my favorite time to be ripping the single track!

    Awesome bike!!!
    I just ordered my 125cf9 yesterday! First full squish coming from a 2013 kona honzo. I had a really tough time deciding between this and the new neuron cf9. Your terrain seems similar to mine over in NM and it appears to handle both steep techy climbs and bombing down with ease.
    Have you tried the flip chip in the high setting out of curiosity?
    Thank you!

      It is an awesome bike. You will be very happy with it. Yes I have messed around with the flip chip but I just leave it in the slack position. Much better for my riding style. That thing should ride very well out there for you! Thanks for the comments!

      Appreciate the response!! I just started in the high setting and absolutely looooove it! I’ll be hitting some blacks and double blacks in a few weeks and will try out the low setting 😎
      Curious if you any bottom bracket noise at all. I noticed some at 15 miles in and am going to reach out to canyon. Other than that absolutely loving it!!!

      You are welcome! Hmm... that is interesting. I never had any noise in the bottom bracket. I did have a crazy vibration on my back brake and the derailleur in the second gear was a tad noisy until I made a minor adjustment. Could it be a dry creak possibly? Let me know what they say, I am interested to know.

      @@whowhois the large fit me great. Did not feel to big or to small. I have been riding a large with 29” wheels for years. I have ridden a few medium sized bikes and I always feel they are to small.

    You don’t need the music. Personally, I want to hear the bike, how noisy it is. Chain slap, cable rub etc.

      @@slugmtb I only said that because I’m on the waiting list when my size is back in stock. Since I can’t test ride one I just wanted to hear it. Thanks for the video. Cheers.
