Canyon Neuron:ONfly light-weight path ebike
Begin with the short do-it-all human-powered Neuron mountain bike launched a 12 months in the past. Add within the boosted capabilities that got here with the marginally longer journey ebike model Neuron:ON that debuted three months later with a 4th-gen Bosch CX motor & 750Wh battery. Now, dial it again to the newest lighter-weight however highly effective Bosch Efficiency Line SX motor and a 400Wh battery, and the brand new Canyon Neuron:ONfly.
Canyon calls it: “Much less weight. Extra energy.“
“The Neuron:ONfly sits in the course of the Neuron household with the full-power Neuron:ON because the go-to selection for all-day adventures within the alpine, whereas the Neuron is a 100% human-powered bike for individuals who wish to hold it conventional.”
What adjustments from Neuron:ON to the brand new Neuron:ONfly?
You continue to get 55Nm or torque out of the newest Bosch SX motor – in comparison with 85Nm out of the CX. However you get the advantage of a extra pure feeling pedal help, whereas nonetheless getting a excessive 600W peak energy output for punchy climbs.
And the SX motor itself is 750g lighter than CX. Plus, its 400Wh battery is a claimed 2400g lighter than the CX’s 750Wh battery. That’s greater than 3kg lighter, or practically 14% weight financial savings over the entire Neuron:ON CF 8 that I rode final summer time.
Past the powertrain, the carbon body itself isn’t similar to the heavier Neuron:ON, but it surely’s very comparable. Clearly, the downtube might be made smaller with the smaller, lighter 400WH inside battery. And the chainstays have dropped a bit with the additional area out there across the smaller motor casing.
However what about light-weight vary?
Positive, vary is genuinely decreased from that vast 750Wh battery to this 400Wh one. However the Bosch SX motor is claimed to be extra vitality environment friendly. And the extra pure experience really feel presents welcome help on the climbs, however encourages you to step up your pedal energy output, as nicely. It is also far more affordable to pedal a light-weight eMTB in Eco mode. And nonetheless bearable to pedal it uphill with a drained battery, in comparison with the full-power ebikes on the market.
Vary-wise, Canyon claims the brand new Neuron:ONfly will nonetheless provide you with help for 1000m of climbing in Turbo mode. That’s a lot to cowl most common mountain bike path rides. And why carry further battery weight round should you aren’t going to make use of it. I dwell and experience within the mountains. And 1000m is a stable experience starting from 25-60km in size relying on how arduous you wish to push the steep hills.
And should you do really need further energy often for some longer using. The SX-powered Canyon Neuron:ONfly is suitable with Bosch’s 250Wh PowerMore vary extender bottle battery. So you will get 62.5% longer vary, simply by attaching the 1.6kg further battery.
All-Path Geometry

That ought to match nicely with the 140mm of Canyon ‘Triple Section’ 4-bar rear suspension and matching 140mm forks. FYI for smaller riders, the XS ebikes step it again to 130mm of journey for decrease standover.
Bosch eBike Movement app & anti-theft system
