All builds
Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, motor, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: 29.
| Build | Fork | Shock | Shock size | Rear travel | Motor | Weight | RRP | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

How it compares
At 140 mm, fork travel is 10 mm shorter than the median of the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category (150 mm, 101 bikes). Front and rear both work with 140 mm of travel. On travel, it slots in between the Canyon Grand Canyon:ON and the Canyon Neuron:ON in the Canyon range. Canyon builds the frame from carbon.
The Canyon Neuron:ONfly does well on weight: 20.3 kg for the CF 7 build is 3.1 kg below the median of comparable bikes (23.4 kg). Entry costs €4,499 for the CF 7 build – less than the category median of €5,500. Fork and shock come from RockShox on every build. It is powered by Bosch Performance Line SX with a 400 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox Pike Base): 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: on 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 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: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Canyon Neuron:ONfly
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.
140 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.60″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Schwalbe Hans Dampf / Nobby Nic.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.40 bar (20 psi) | 1.60 bar (23 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.52 bar (22 psi) | 1.72 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.64 bar (24 psi) | 1.84 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.76 bar (26 psi) | 1.96 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.88 bar (27 psi) | 2.08 bar (30 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.00 bar (29 psi) | 2.20 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.12 bar (31 psi) | 2.32 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
