This well balanced All-mountain bike is Canyon’s bread and butter mountain bike for all types of riding. I got this for my 14 year-old son for Christmas 2022, but he never liked riding up hills or cross country, only downhills and jumps…so he rode it about 20 times total. I already had this converted to tubeless, the only way to go to help prevent flats. There are scratches from our cheap bike rack, so I included Specialized pedals and a water bottle cage for free to compensate. You can see that this is the best bike at the lowest price in your size: get it now before its gone shortly!
Durable bearing design
Long-wearing, industrial-grade bearings keep you on the trail all year round. Their extra axial seals keep them protected from dirt and moisture.
Internally routed cables
Internal cable routing looks great while protecting cables from dirt and water. The shift cables are routed without bends or twists for improved performance and increased durability.
Triple Phase Suspension
Triple Phase Suspension delivers maximum trail riding fun: Sensitive small-bump response provides top traction. In the mid-stroke, a stable feel lets you keep momentum and speed out of berms and over bumps. And on big hits, the suspension ramps up progressively for a bottomless feel.
Components
Rock Shox Recon Silver RL
With 140 mm of travel, the Recon offers great steering precision and high stiffness. Just right for blasting down trails and taking on challenging climbs.
Shimano MT511 30T
With its 30T chain ring, the MT511 aluminum crankset keeps the chain running smooth for crisp, reliable shifting. Crank lengths vary by frame size, with 165 mm cranks on sizes XS and S, and 170 mm on sizes M–XL.
Shimano Deore M6100
Shimano’s proven 1x12 Deore drivetrain offers reliable shifting on any terrain. Technical descents or steep climbs – with a 30t chain ring and 10–51t cassette, you always have the right gear at your fingertips.
Iridium Wheelset
The sturdy and reliable Iridium wheelset with alloy rims and Shimano MT400 hubs always have your back. With an internal width of 30 mm for the front wheel and 25 mm for the rear wheel, they keep the tires seated through any curve. And of course, they’re tubeless ready. For maximum control, we set them up with grippy 2.4-inch Schwalbe tires front and rear.

Gearelab Review:
Our Verdict
TheCanyon Neuron 5is a fast and efficient trail bike with conservative geometry. This bike has a bit of an old-school attitude, and that is exactly what makes it great. Instead of using ultra-modern geometry with an emphasis on downhill performance, Canyon built theNeuronwith a focus on efficiency and responsiveness. This bike is happy to log big miles and slice and dice downhill. In addition, this bike is quite easy to ride as it doesn't require Ludacris speeds to feel responsive and fun. TheNeuron 5earned a Top Pick as Most Efficient Bike for its preference for scooting up climbs and covering ground as opposed to outright shredding.
REASONS TO BUY
