The Canyon Neuron:ON is typically the best equipped in the test comparison. The only Fox suspension in the field makes a positive impression, and the detailed fine-tuning of the support levels via app is only possible on the Canyon. The steep head angle and the relatively short chainstays make the handling lively.
This means you can also have fun on flat trails. The suspension is less comfort-orientated than the other candidates, such as the Thok Mig 630The riding position is slightly sporty. The disadvantages of short geometry and little suspension travel: Passive riding confidence is not a strong point of the Canyon Neuron:ON. It reacts stubbornly to riding errors and doesn't convey much confidence on steep terrain. On climbs, the Canyon also needs to be consciously steered. Leaning back and pedalling up steep sections is not an option. However, active riders will like the handling, motor support and riding position. On steep ramps, however, you have to consciously put your weight forwards to keep the front wheel on the ground. Even if the Canyon wants to be ridden a little more actively and sportily, it always remains predictable! In the end, that's the Neuron:ON's big trump card.
As a result, the handy E-MTB scored favourably with the testers and is still easy to control even for inexperienced riders. At least as long as the terrain is not extreme.
Conclusion on the Canyon Neuron:ON 7
The liveliest handling, the best suspension elements, good equipment. The Neuron:ON is a sporty and handy all-rounder, but offers too little riding safety on tougher terrain.

1) The reach height was determined during standardised test rides on an asphalt climb with a gradient of 12.2 percent. Highest support level, 150 watts pedalling power of the rider, rider weight incl. equipment 90 kg. The altitude metres in clearly reduced emergency mode are shown in brackets. The average speed refers to the journey with full assistance.
2) Determined on the test stands in the EMTB test laboratory, weight without pedals. Battery weight may include screwed-on cover.
3) Manufacturer's specification
4) The judgement reflects the subjective impression of the testers and the results of the range height measurement and the laboratory tests.
