How it compares
On travel, the Canyon Lux World Cup is right where the “cross-country full-suspension bike” category usually is: 120 mm up front against a median of 120 mm from 23 bikes. The rear offers 110 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Canyon’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Canyon Stitched and the Canyon Neuron Young Hero on travel. Canyon builds the frame from carbon.
The Canyon Lux World Cup does well on weight: 9.8 kg for the CFR XTR Di2 build is 1.0 kg below the median of comparable bikes (10.8 kg). Within the range, weight varies by 1.7 kg. At €3,999 for the CF 9 build, pricing is typical for the category (median €4,350). For the CFR XTR Di2 build, Canyon asks €7,999. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. In total, 4 different forks are used, from the RockShox SID Select+ 3-Position Remote to the FOX 34 SL Factory.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox SID Select+ 3-Position Remote): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: on FOX and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Shock (RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ 3-Position Remote): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
Target SAG for the Canyon Lux World Cup
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Canyon specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
120 mm fork, 50.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm | 24 % = 12.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm | 28 % = 14.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm | 30 % = 15.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm | 27 % = 13.5 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.35″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Pirelli Scorpion XC RC Race Lite 2.4; Schwalbe Racing Ray / Racing Ralph 2.35; Schwalbe Rick XC Pro 2.4.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
