Canyon Neuron:ON: suspension setup & specs
The Canyon Neuron:ON is an e-MTB for trail and touring with 150 mm of fork travel and 145 mm at the rear. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line CX or Bosch Performance Line PX. This page lists the 3 current builds with fork, shock and shock size and gives matching starting values for SAG and tyre pressure.

How it compares
On travel, the Canyon Neuron:ON is right where the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category usually is: 150 mm up front against a median of 150 mm from 101 bikes. The rear offers 145 mm, 5 mm less than the front. On travel, it slots in between the Canyon Neuron:ONfly and the Canyon Spectral:ON in the Canyon range. The frame is made of aluminium.
At a minimum of 25.6 kg (AL 8 build), the Canyon Neuron:ON is heavier than its category median of 23.4 kg – 2.2 kg more. There are 0.9 kg between the lightest and the heaviest build. Prices for the Canyon Neuron:ON start at €3,999 (7), below the category median of €5,500. The top build, 9 AXS, costs €5,499. Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. In total, 3 different forks are used, from the RockShox Psylo Silver RC to the FOX 36 Performance. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line PX or Bosch Performance Line CX with a 800 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Psylo Silver RC): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (RockShox Deluxe Select): 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.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Canyon Neuron:ON
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Canyon gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.50″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Magic Mary 2.4 / Hans Dampf 2.35; Schwalbe Romy Trail 2.5; Schwalbe Romy Trail Pro Radial 2.5.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 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.
