Brilliant videos, absolutely my favorites to get an honest opinion from an enthusiast. Congrats on the new bike! 🎉
Much appreciated!
A comparsion between the pole and the canyon would be a great consumer advice video❤ thanks for the great content love it
Nice bike. I appreciate hearing the details about your setup.
SWEET RIDE there Rob. Canyon appears to have come up with a fantastic performer here. Many have wondered though, is there a performance advantage to engineering such a huge gap between motor to frame? Cooling perhaps? Just feels like using the Bosch motor was a last minute change or something hence the irregular gap. Could you explain to us riders why there seems to be a large gap between the motor and frame which, typically along with wires/cables etc would be hidden by the motor cover to make it more aesthetically pleasing to look at. Cheers Rob.
My bikes will always have one up dropper posts, and edc tool/ pump. Great products! Great video!
Quality video Rob, and what a beautiful bike.👌
Nice look new bike! I really think Canyon nailed the geometry on this one.
Best video yet, you answer all my questions, superb!
Thinking of buying the Underdog and pimp it. Seems to me a good value for money once finished. 😏 I love your build!!! 👌🏻
Thanks to your first test of this bike, I bought a Strive on underdog. This bike is awesome, everythink is so easy with it ! 😻
Glad you like it!
Interesting Rob. It made me look at their site and the Geo. The M is actually bigger than Mondraker M (Reach & Wheelbase). That's the biggest surprise to me for sure. On paper, I REALLY like the look of the Geo and it certainly underpins your point about stability. Will you be going Coil ??
I am so pumped! Canyon FINALLY released the Strive:On in the US market! I was going to settle on getting a Torque:On but now I dont have to! This bike will be a much better fit for what I ride locally. Keep the content coming! 🤘
I like some of the additions. I've been looking at the EDC gear as I use backcountry research straps becuase I prefer riding packless. I will agree on the Oneup V2 dropper too. Mines been on for years, it's been abused and at worst it's had a quick strip down, clean, regrease and refit. Takes an hour tops. After watching this, you've convinced me on a Strive:On rather than a Spectral:On or Kenevo Expert. Keep up the good work!
That is a good looking bike with Fantastic specs. Congratulations! 😃👍
Great review. Words are easy to use without any truth however there is a lot of enthusiasm in your voice when talking about this bike which tells a viewer like me there is passion in your ownership.
Great build Rob. Nice tech!
Agreed. I got the Spectal ON CF8 and it is a blast! I can ride some pretty gnarly tech trails on the thing and it just sucks it all up. Canyon makes great bikes, I have the Endurace rd bike also.
Sometimes I think it would be worth it to have a youtube channel, just for the freebies or super deals on bikes and parts.
9K bikes suddenly become a "great bargain". Carbon rims are real pricey but ever so worth it "until they crack".
Top level suspension is suddenly just adequate.
But really for the bike makers, its cheap advertising. People love youtube reviews.
I've always found the 36 engagement pretty good. No pedal kickback and lasts longer. I don't notice the lack of engagement like some folks do, each of their own.
The EXP OS on the hybrid wheels is only 30t engagement sadly :-(
Great video! Could you please do a comparison between your Canyon and the Orbea wild 😇. Everything I've read about says they are the two best ebikes on the market.
Fantastic rob, really enjoyed the video my friend very informative. After a new bike shortly but not sure which to pick🙄👍💪😊👊❤️❤️🇬🇧
Great review as always. You've hit the nail on the head with the battery options. The one hour blast is exactly what I've been going on about to my riding buddies. Lewis Hamilton doesn't qualify with a full tank...
I recently found your page and am really enjoying your content .
Hey Rob.. Nice new whip..👌🏻 Are the sram battery leads available to buy yet? And if so how do they work as in attach to the main battery? Would love to get one for my Voima as I'm terrible at remembering to charge the little battery! 😂
Hey Rob, how does this compare to the Torque On? I know the Torque will hit the big bike park jumps better, but is the strive that much faster down a DH track? It would be interesting to know the difference. Thank you
Awesome vid Rob!!! As others have said get the 54th ratchets,heres the breakdown 18th=20deg free play,36th=10deg,54th=6.6deg...The 54th ratchets are pricey in north america close to $200,cheapest place that I could find them was bike24 around $80(stay away from chinese knock offs)hope this helps!!Cheers!!!
Cheers for that! Am definitely going to get this!
@@RobRidesEMTB Worth every penny Rob you'll never go back!!!According to dt swiss anything finer then the 54s is where you can have pedal kickback,I am running 4 350hubs with the 54s,2 on orbea wild and 2 on a bulls e-fat bike(studed tires on there own wheel sets)and no pedal kickback at all...forgot to ask but you probably have the 240 exp version and bike24 is out of stock they list at 84.87euros...you need a special ring gear tool to do it yourself,cheaper to have your lbs do it for you...
I can confirm the 54t DT Swiss Ratchet upgrade is worth it. I like the 108 points of engagement on my 160e. Better sound, Awesome climbing, minimal kickback going DH.
I’m very curious about the Pole eMTB. Maybe you could create a video that details which bike you use for various types of routes, events or whatever?
Great Vid as always Rob, have you tried the comparable TRP brakes vs the hopes? Kind regards from Oregon.
Great video and sick bike!
Nice touch on the downtube but a bolt on Rapid Racer Products Pro Guard works all year round and does a better job.
Excellent TY!
I would like to see the belt drive ,combined gear's and motor unit,bike you covered from the euro show.really curiouse to see how they work on the trail jumps,that would be a first
Your like the e bike version of Jay Leno with your collection. Living the dream!
Will the adapter fit in the cage great video always looked like a do it all bike as soon as I seen it and your review just makes loads of sense with this bike as with others too though Thanks
Im not sure it will - there's not a ton of clearance, but only one way to check!
Another great video Rob, keep up the good work! One question, you might not have experience of, but its been holding me back from buying this bike. The majority of reviews online about Canyons customer service, is the experience is horrendous! When importing a bike and not going through a local bike shop, this is a very worrying concern and like I say, it doesn't matter how good the bike is, the reviews of the after market experience has totally put me off. What do you think Rob?
nice bike. How would you compare the Strive to the Spectral? I'm not an extreme rider. I need an all-purpose bike. Should work in the alps, on trails but also for bike packing.
Excellent content as usual Rob. Tell me do you still use the blevo app,how was the chest HR monitor and What's the make of helmet your wearing.
Had the same issue with wheel engagement on the 240s and went with the 54tooth rachet, pretty good with the Bosch unit.
Good suggestion! Will take a look now!
Hey Rob would you be able to smash the dropper into the seat tube? Also with bike would have the shortest seat tube? I ride the trek rail and that is my biggest complaint. Cheers!!!
Great Looking Bike!
Hi Rob - great review...we're spewin' that we can't get these in Aus yet.....that said I'd really like to know the real diff between the Strive and Spectral....any chance you'll get an opportunity to compare the pair?
Rob, I built my version of your Cheeb: Rockshox Zeb fork, nice SRAM rear shock, CF wheels (wheels and frame from Light Carbon), Bafang M510 motor, mullet 29”, 27.5” wheels. I have been riding it the last 3 weeks in the Colorado Rockies and have been super impressed with the handling (geo & suspension). The motor has its pluses and minuses - I am hoping I can fiddle with the config to remove the power delivery dead spots I experience … we shall see.
My question is how does your Cheeb compare to the Strive ON. Now that I have a positive taste for emtb’s I am wondering what a higher end “store bought” bike would have over a “custom , quasi home-brew” bike.
Very useful vid, thanks! Thinking of making the jump to an Eeb and this looks as though it could fit the bill. Currently ride 2021 SC Megatower - thinking I might get the base underdog model and swap over the factory 38 / transfer I’ve got on my MT. Or would you suggest just going for CFR model? Any other thoughts / recommendations? Thanks mate, great content!
Geeesss Rob, how many bike do you have?? When are you getting one of thos that have the gearbox/motor combo? I say the parking lot review, but need to see more
I’m glad you said you downsized , i was curious about that ,
Im normally a large , I am on my nukeproof mega , but the medium on this bike has the same reach s my large
Great video @RobRidesEMTB as always! Can you tell me what you use as rubber protection under the tube? I have not found similar and it seems fine as protection. thank you very much.
hello Rob, thank you for all your videos. the assembly of your Strive is great! I saw that you had a Decoy before the Strive. what are the main differences and what advantage does Strive have? Also, what do you think of the new Decoy core 5 with Di2 transmission? Sincerely
Julien
the t9 rubber is good in the begining, after it begins to use the tire loose much grip. my chioce, schwalbe EC front 2.6 soft, rear BB 2.6 soft (the rear grip monster)!
7:11 that dolly zoom* 😍(the bike's pretty cool too 😉)
Hola Rob ! Gracias por tus pruebas. Posiblemente en este momento Canyon STRIVE y Orbea WILD sean las mejores Enduro E Bike .
Sobre el papel parece más atractiva la Orbea WILD, tú qué has probado las dos, porque elegiste STRIVE ?
Muchas gracias y saludos.
Hey Rob what is the protective wrap on your frame ? Is it Invisi Frame dedicated for your bike ?
Nice build! What bike would you recommend as the "one bike to do it all" (riding to work, trails and downhill) this Strive on or the Pole Voima? I´m about the same height as you 188-189cm.
Rob, have you tried the TRP Brakes? How do they compare to the Hope? I love my XT brakes my always fun to try new stuff out!
Please explain/video how to do that wire to battery!
How you ride without a chain guide ? Does your chain stay on the chainring at drops and harsh rides? The new SRAM transmission is good at that?
Very nice bike Rob
I would be happy if I could buy the bike in your config or even buy a framekit from canyon to build it by myself. Where did you get the x01 axs power cable from?
Ageed, it'd be great if we could just ride on the auxiliary batt as needed. But I'd rather see a software bump up to 95 nm, if it could handle the stress and set the assist cutout at 28mph. Not asking much are we aye?
I have the Underdog model.. Great bike... I too down sized from XL to L... Its a big bike... Im 6'2".
Looking at getting the underdog just because I want a black/orange bike. Are you planning on doing a build for this? If not would the build be the same?
Great Review! Thanks. 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎
Hey Rob, how would you compare this Canyon Strive to that 29 Kenevo you built (or stock one), deciding between these two bikes, looking purely for enduro/DH performance on steep gnarly trails. Thanks
looks like an amazing bike!!!! is this a Europe release only??? i dont see it on their north america part of the canyon website
I don't think it is available in this config. Even not in europe or here in germany. You will not get the frame either. Just complete bikes with different config.
Do you genuinely find the slacker HT better? U have a Torque ON and currently running a - 1.0 headset in it and a 60mm - 8deg stem to get a more dominant front end VS the vauge feeling it had OEM.
The One Up EDC tool in your head tube, do you think it would have fitted with the standard Canyon stem?
Nice Setup! I bougt a CF Strive:On too and want to include the edc tool. Even oneup answered to my question if it will fit that it is not possible only the light will fit. You installed the threaded v1? Is the fork tube long enough? I hope it will fit on the fox 38 performance elite
Hey Rob. Great video as always. Do you have any insight into why they are not selling this model (Strive:ON) in the US but they are selling the spectral:ON and the torque:ON? It seems weird that they’re not selling one that would be really popular here. Thank you.
I agree it’s a strange one. I did hear that it is coming. Possibly something to do with distribution of Bosch in the US for Canyon, at a guess.
I'm not seeing any Bosch models available here in the US. I'm trying to decide to wait for this, go with a Pole, or wait for the gearbox drive system to be offered to the public.
Hi Rob, you can upgrade the DT Swiss hub ratchet from 36t to 54t upgrade kit.
Sadly not on these eMTB EXP OS hubs (I just found out!)
How are you liking the galfers ? What pads are u on?
Congrats. I have exaxtly same, OEM configuration though 😁
Stock configuration honestly is great! This is actually the stock fork, I just had a Kashima upper that I fit. The stock X2 is virtually identical performance wise but just not as much adjustability. And that rest (DT wheels / XT) is great. No need to change!
Again - great presentation video Rob. I like Canyon, but this one has a bit chubby design....It looks 2019 more than 2023 ;) Not a bike, that would man say - wow, what a good design! But that is not important if it rides good.
Hello Rob I have a question did you manage to install the bosh powermore 250? Is the engine compatible? Finally, does it fit well at the level of the bottle holder? Finally, is the frame strong enough to accommodate the Powermore 250, is there no risk of cracks or anything else? Thank you Rob for your opinion on this....
Hey rob how did you get the stem tool in? Did you have it threaded or buy the threadless carrier ?
Hi rob nice bike , just a quick question about your old trek rail as I’ve had mine for about 4 months now and the battery rattle really annoying me now . Did you ever have problems with it and did you fix it and how if you did cheers
I have that same problem. It might be the cables rattle on the battery.
Have you tried shimming w thin foam and more tape on interior cables.
@@dirtrider9268 yeh done all that , now thinking it was never the battery it’s the motor lol as only does it when free wheeling down th roughy stuff
Rob, do you ever find the Bosch motor mounts are really soft and the bolts loosen up which causes it to creak? I find it really annoying on my Focus SAM2 6.9 which has enough other creaks in itself.
I do on the gen 4 drive unit Rail.
Thanks for the review. I'm about to buy the underdog but hesitant on the frame size. I'm 1m92 (same as you I think) currently riding a Focus sam2 in mullet and before that a Levo in 27.5 both in XL size, because I was favouring stability. Would now rather have something a bit more manœuvrable but don't want to hit my knees on the bars. Canyon site recommends L or XL so that doesn't help much. What size is your bike? And did you have chance to test both L and XL frames?
im the same height and i find a reach around 500-510 is perfect for me and i prefer a nice balance between stability and maneuverability. like he said, sizes dont matter too much you gotta look at the geo
Can you tell me if the Bosch system can adjust the motor assistance based on your heart rate (like on the specialized) ?
Sadly not. Also no Ant+ or BLE connection to devices like Garmin. I hope this comes in the future as technically it should be possible.
Does the engagement problem not reduce kick back? You've basically got an Ochain haha
Ok Rob, you got me to get one. I just hope it’s not too big for me. Great info on this video. Any issues with the bike Rob, after having it for almost a year?
I want this bike so bad but it hasn't come to the US yet! C'mon, Canyon, toss a few over here!!!
I dont understand how you dont have to cut the cable to bleed the brakes? You have to replace the crush ferrule everytime when you remove the hose?
You should try fixing the rear hub to loose the engagement lag.
Cheap way to do it is just to cable tie the cassette to the spokes. This will make the drivetrain spin constantly letting you shift while coasting.
Since the cranks already have a freehub mechanism the one in the rear hub is not necessary for the function of the bike.
Of course the proper way would be to machine a piece of metal without the ratchets and place that into the rear hub.
That’s a lot of drag while coasting.
Just type HXR drivetrain and you're done
Hi Rob, can you please make a review to the new canyon torque On....in comparation with strive On?
It's a shame you can't get them in Australia. Looks I am going to Germany next year after that lotto win comes in😢
Maybe someone in germany can buy and ship it for you. ;-)
Rob did you try the Canyon Torque:on? Curious why you didn't buy that bike instead?
What’s your honest thought on the ep8 motor Rob ,
Hiya Rob. Just ordered the same bike. Is your downtube protector a Nukeproof Dissent. Obviously the link works no longer with CRC going down. Thanks
Rob, can you swap the batteries - so have a 625 (for shorter rides & get a lighter bike) & for longer rides swap it for the 750? Or can you have the 625 & is it compatible with a Bosch range extender?
Yes you can swap batteries. That’s what I’ve been doing. Not sure on bosch range extender yet. Need to get one and try asap.
Hey Rob. Interesting take on the e vs non e versions of the 38. I have the e tuned 160 mm Fox 38 on my Wild. What a fork! Not sure I understand your comment re: vagueness with the e tuned damper?
He's saying that the e tuned (and I recall hearing this confirmed from the fox pit technician at a festival on the difference between the normal and etuned versions) basically feels softer, maybe too wallow-y and not supportive enough when pushed harder? What I'd like answered is do the professional E riders all use normal tune forks or if any of them even bother with an etuned one
Thanks for the reply. I wouldn’t say it lacks support but it definitely feels compliant. It does track very well. Also there’s plenty ramp at the end of the stroke for the steeps and compressions.
@@chadlindenbach8471 found the video of the Fox technician explaining the 36 and 38 e tuned differences better than I could ruclips.net/video/HYg82ghbUlw/видео.html
Cheers
What happened to your Trek rail and do you still rate it ?
Is there any huge import dutys or vat to pay when being shipped to the UK?
Hi Rob, how did you mount the rear wheel sensor with the tubeless valves, did you use two nuts or just one on top of the sensor?
Hi, just the nut on top of the magnet seems to work fine with Peatys valves
@@RobRidesEMTB nice one, thank you.... I'm well impressed with the bike, feels more nimble than my YT Decoy. Thanks for the reviews and great videos...
How does it compare to the Turbo Levo Gen3? I know you‘ve ridden both. I‘ve only ridden the Turbo Levo and sometimes it feels a bit too planted and heavy. Is the Strive On poppier and does it feel lighter?
you need to try shigura brakes!
Is that the threadless carrier in the fork?
What brand is that downtube protector, it seems to be discontinued on chain reaction now 🙃
Im torn.... I am 6'5". Live in the us. This bike isnt available. I heard it will be in the fall. Should I buy a kenevo on sale or wait for this. Im coming from an s6 stumpy evo. It fits me soo well. I ride park style trails. I mainly want an ebike to session jump trails.
Rob, Another great demystifying e-bike review ... Please don't be bought.. Cheers from Down under. 🙃🤪
Rob buys more bikes than Halfords 😂 can’t imagine what his wife says 😂
@Rob Rides EMTB Hey, i have this bike in L , do you think the new range extender fit in this size?
Allo Rob,when are you expecting to build a new cheep, this winter I would like to order two ebike frame maybe from Dengfu e55, is it possible to build a cheep with a pinion gear box, I am from Quebec,canada
