Vital Test Sessions - Canyon Strive

The Strive is the second bike in our test with an EWS title to its name under 2021 EWS overall champion Jack Moir. The Strive has been in Canyons lineup since 2010 and has undergone several facelifts since then. Now in its 4th iteration, the Strive is larger than ever and was the biggest bike in our test in terms of wheelbase and reach numbers.

The Strive is undoubtedly one of the best deals on the market at a mere $4,999 for a spec that would put most bikes at a $2-3k higher price point. Price point aside, the Strive has a proven track record on the Enduro world stage, and it is clear to see why after spending some time on it.

We stayed right at the base of the mountain, courtesy of Visit Big Bear, and couldn't have asked for a more convenient way to spend the week testing bikes. With our condo less than a minute from the Snow Summit village, we could easily head back to our unit between laps and had plenty of space to work on our bikes.
