Canyon just told me my bikes ready and I've paid, now comes the hard bit waiting and hoping it survives it's travels.🤞

As it's a Neuron: ON 9 and I haven't seen any owners posts on this specific flavour. I have created this thread for, the transit and then the photos and review when it finally lands.

Hey Guys, I've just joined the party and am waiting for delivery of the Neuron 9 too. Packed and on en-route as we speak. (y)

Thanks mate, I bet there some good riding out in Spain? Is it a winter sport out in Spain... I can imagine peak summer rides can be taxing?

Shipped from Terminal tonight, so hoping for delivery sometime next week. You should be a day or so ahead of me with any luck.

Yes mine said that yesterday, then no further updates. I'm guessing it's sat in a que at customs.

we have touch down! So just after lunch the courier left it on my patio , no-one was home. I was having a meltdown had to leave work to go and take it inside.

Not canyons fault, but disappointing from the courier as the are supposed to call BEFORE attempting delivery not during or after. If I had known I'd have taken the day off work.

And if you was thinking my wife is patient you're wrong.... She was at work , we hate the carpet anyway; it was down when we moved in (suspect I'm going shopping at the weekend 😆)

Not to worry, nobody would have known what it was 🤦‍♂️ Looks very nice though. Mine should be here any day so I will look forward to it being left on the road outside ;)

Build complete, gone for red on the touch points. Rear sag done, just need to setup the front , but it's dark and wet.

So tonight's task will be to fit the frame protection while it is nice and clean.

Then remove the wheels and tyres a convert to tubeless.

Nice, looking sharp. I would be interested to know how the frame protection goes? Where did you get them from?

My bike arrived today, without notice!! Thankfully my Wife was at home because I was nowhere near to take delivery. Very odd that they dont notify you its on its way.

They are AMS, to be honest they are not good, too visible and you can see the bubbles. Cost £60 on Amazon, my advice is buy Heli tape and use a heat gun (not an hair dryer) as its infinitely better.

Feel a bit ripped off on did the crossbar one then decided to full stop.

Where are you in the country by the way? Invisiframe offered to design and fit for 100 if I too or shipped my bike to their Shropshire base.

That was my concern to be honest. I think Invisiframe is the only way to go if you want it done properly. £100 is a great price for design and fit to be fair. Its the hassle of shipping the bike that would put me off.

I'm in Portsmouth, Hampshire so I wont be passing anytime soon.
 
Saw the blade and thought you would be a local im in rotherham dalbys great u been to hamsterley?

Sorry to jump in ..
Dalby is OK..but not a patch on Hamsters

You are more than likely correct, but Dalby is 15-20min drive compared to 2hr15 drive. So obviously I spend more time at Dalby, others are just a day trip only.
 
Its worth the trip up even if you only go once i drove up for the day from rotherham not a full day out like dalby tho lol
 
Hi, newcomer here with finger hovering over "place order" for Neuron on 9. Do you have any updates? How has it been with yours?

Like a dream, if XC is your thing do it you won't regret it. The bike and build quality is excellent.

So simple to build, setup and use the ride is quality. Tubeless is easy all you have to do is insert valves + sealent and remove the tubes, wheels already taped.

Only bit of fettling you have to do is the suspension setup. However you'd have the same process on any full suspension bike!

Thanks, glad to hear and your point about going tubeless is very much appreciated! 👍

Gonna order mine tomorrow, then.
 
Mine has been running like a dream. I've been very impressed with the build and the spec for the money paid. I note they have even gone down in price by about £300 since I bought mine so nows the time to buy

I have come from a Levo 2019 and this is a quicker and nicer handling bike for the trails that I ride on a regular basis. Singletrack, Twisty rooty downhill sections etc. I dont need more than 130mm travel so its suits me well.

The Shimano motor has been great so far with decent range and so much more natural feeling than the Brose motor I had previously ridden, not as powerful but applied in a better way I feel.

If it suits your ride sytle/terrain etc then I would get your order in as its a decent bike for the money.
