Canyon’s trail-focused Grand Canyon hardtail is now available with a motor. The Grand Canyon: ON e-bike will be sold in three builds including a women’s-specific version.
The Grand Canyon is the third mountain bike chassis from Canyon to get the e-bike treatment following the development of the Spectral:ON and Neuron:ON models.
The Grand Canyon:ON sticks closely to the formula set out by its popular non-motorised sibling. Even the geometry charts are very similar, with the e-bikes having only a marginally slacker head angle plus slight extension to the chainstay, reach and overall wheelbase figures.
Canyon has chosen to debut the Grand Canyon:ON with an aluminium frame that houses Shimano’s E8000 mid-drive system. The BT-E8305 battery pack integrates into the down tube and features a 504Wh capacity.
