Canyon Grand Canyon:ON 2023

From £3,199

The 2023 Grand Canyon:ON is Canyon's alloy e-hardtail: a 29er with a 120 mm fork, full-power Bosch Performance Line CX motor (85 Nm) and an integrated, removable PowerTube battery. It sits in the same value XC/trail-hardtail class as a Trek Marlin+, pitched at developing riders and all-day exploring rather than aggressive descending.The geometry is deliberately middle-of-the-road for a modern hardtail: a 68 degree head angle, 76.5 degree effective seat angle, 460 mm chainstays and reach from 425 mm (S) to 500 mm (XL). It is stable and easy to manage rather than racy, which suits the bike's all-rounder brief. Frame storage extras (mudguard, rack, kickstand) are catered for, reinforcing the commute-and-trail flexibility.Trim value is strong by direct-sale standards. The PS3,199 Grand Canyon:ON 7 pairs a RockShox Judy Silver fork, SRAM DB8 brakes and a 625 Wh battery (750 Wh optional) but skips a dropper. The PS3,649 Grand Canyon:ON 8 steps up to a FOX 34 AWL fork, an Iridium dropper, Shimano XT shifting and the 750 Wh pack. The PS4,149 Grand Canyon:ON 9 adds Magura CTE brakes with Bosch ABS and GPS tracking, all sharing the same Deore 12-speed drivetrain and Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.6in tyres.This model year is discontinued. Canyon later overhauled the Grand Canyon hardtail platform, so the 2023 alloy Bosch :ON is best viewed as a used or run-out buy rather than a current option.

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Descending

A solid all-round descender (68° head angle, 120mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

Short 460mm rear and a lighter build — easy to pop, manual and throw around.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.69) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 4 and a steep 76.5° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 600W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toPlayful trail riding — jumps, pumps and tight, techy singletrack.

Easy to throw around; happiest when you're active on the bike.

Watch out forNo major red flags in the L geometry.

The numbers are well balanced for its category.
