Heavy (after my hardtail)

Received it last week direct from Canyon- been waiting excitedly for 5 weeks. Got the bike in gloss Orange and it looks better in the flesh tahn it does on the web. Set up the Fox shock and Rock Shox Revelation forks with the included shock pump and clamped the bars into the Easton stem. Slotted the wheels in (and dropped the PSI in each) then took it out on the local hill (Rivington). Feels like the front wheel is miles in front but steers beautifully however the large 2.4 Fat Albert tracks a lot more than the Nobby Nics on my Marin Hardtail. The brakes bedded in and it stops like a train- Elixir 3 are a massive improvement over my Juicy 3. Propedal and pop lock / travel adjust turn it into a 110mm hardtail (nearly) and climbing is taut for a full suss. The geometry just feels right and the tautness of the whole package is spot on. Good quality and excellent value- my friend swapped out from his Zesty 314 and praised it highly and the Zesty is a top bike.All in all I'm really pleased with the purchase and in terms of value it can't be beaten
