Grand Canyon
Algupära
Grand Canyon on Canyon'i pikaajaline alumiiniumist kõvakas ja üks brändi sisseastumismudelitest — paljudele Euroopa sõitjatele oli see nende esimene 'päris' mägiratas. Seda on toodetud alates 2010. aastate algusest ja see on läbinud mitu põlvkonda, kuid valem on jäänud järjepidevaks: hüdrovormitud alumiiniumraam, 100-120 mm vedrustuskahvel, 29-tollised rattad täiskasvanute suurustel (27,5 väiksematel raamidel, 24 Young Hero lasteversioonil), kaasaegne rajale kalduv geomeetria (lamedam roolipea nurk, pikem ulatus kui tüüpilistel XC ratastel) ja hind, mis algab alla 700 €. Praegune põlvkond ühildub dropper-postiga kõrgematel spetsifikatsioonidel ja kasutab sisemist kaablivedu. See kattub Canyon'i e-MTB valikuga Grand Canyon:ON (€2,799-€3,499), mis kasutab Bosch Performance Line CX mootorit. Mitteelektriline Grand Canyon on positsioneeritud kui taskukohane igapäevane MTB — mitte kõige kergem, mitte kõige kiirem, kuid rajale sobiv ja ehitatud kestma sõitjatele, kes soovivad tõelist kõvakat ilma butiikpreemiata.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Hydroformed aluminium hardtail frame; internal cable routing, dropper-post compatible across the range, 12×148 mm Boost rear thru-axle with Canyon Quixle quick-release lever, 31.6 mm seatpost diameter
- Kahvel
- 120 mm travel air fork across the 2025 range; Grand Canyon 5 = SR Suntour XCR32, 6 = RockShox Judy Gold RL, 7 = RockShox Recon Gold (Silver RL), 8 = Fox 32 Rhythm
- Jõuülekanne
- 1x by spec: Grand Canyon 5 = Shimano CUES 1×9/1×11 LinkGlide, 6 = Shimano Deore M6100 1×12, 7 = Shimano SLX 1×12, 8 = Shimano XT M8100 1×12
- Pidurid
- Hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors across range; Tektro on budget trims, Shimano on mid-tier, Shimano SLX 4-piston on the Grand Canyon 8
- Rattad
- Wheel size scales with frame: 29" on S-XL, 27.5" on XXS-XS, 24" on XXXS (Young Hero); 12×148 mm Boost hubs, tubeless-ready alloy rims
- Rehvid
- 2.25"-class trail tires (Schwalbe Rocket Ron / similar fast-rolling XC-trail tread depending on trim)
- Vedrustus
- Hardtail (front suspension only), 120 mm fork travel
- Sadul
- Dropper seatpost (31.6 mm, internally routed) standard on Grand Canyon 7 and 8; lower trims ship a rigid post but all frames are dropper-ready
- Geomeetria
- Trail-oriented hardtail: 2025 reboot slackened the head angle ~1.5-2° to 66°, steepened seat angle to 75°, and grew size-M reach to 450 mm — noticeably more capable than typical XC hardtail geometry
- Kaal
- Approx. 12.5-14 kg complete depending on trim: Grand Canyon 8 ~12.54 kg, Grand Canyon 7 ~13.06 kg, entry trims toward 14 kg
Verdikt
- Outstanding value — consumer-direct pricing puts a 1×12 drivetrain, 120 mm fork and modern trail geometry at €750-€1,700, well below shop-bought equivalents
- Updated 2025 geometry (66° head angle, 450 mm reach in M, 75° seat angle) makes it genuinely trail-capable, not a nervous XC race bike
- Reviewers praise well-judged, reliable-yet-reactive steering and 'plenty of speed on tap'
- Huge 7-size range (24"/27.5"/29" by size) fits riders from ~125 cm to ~202 cm, including a kids Young Hero version
- Dropper post, internal routing and Boost spacing on a budget alloy hardtail broaden its real-world usability
- On the heavy side — entry trims push toward 14 kg, noticeably more than lightweight XC hardtails
- Stock tires are the common upgrade-first item; reviewers flag the rubber as the limiting factor on grip
- Dropper post only standard on the top two trims; cheaper builds need an upgrade to match the frame's capability
- Consumer-direct model means self-assembly and no in-person fit/test before buying
- As a hardtail it is out of its depth on the steepest, roughest enduro terrain — it is a balanced trail bike, not a hardcore hardtail like the Canyon Stoic
