The Neuron joined Canyon’s line-up of full suspension mountain bikes towards the end of last year as the replacement for the company’s outgoing Nerve model. Its short travel arrangement means it tucks in nicely below its longer travel siblings — the Spectral and Strive.
This particular model, the 29in AL 9.9 SL, is almost as much as you can spend on a Neuron, retailing at £3,249 / €3,599 / AU$5,199 depending on where you live (sorry, America, you're still missing out on these).
It’s also worth noting that the Neuron range includes bikes with 650B wheels as well as the 29in model we are introducing here. The .9 from the bike’s name denotes 29in wheels while Neurons with .0 in the name use 650b wheels and use a frame that offers an additional 10mm of suspension travel.

As above, the Neuron AL 9.9SL uses 29in wheels and has a frame and fork that both offer 120mm of travel. It’s sold in just three sizes: M, L and XL, so smaller riders looking for a similar bike should take a look at Canyon’s cheaper, 650B Neuron AL 9.0 SL.
There’s nothing radical about the Neuron’s Horst-link suspension arrangement, nor does there need to be. Between its linkage sits a rather spendy Factory version of Fox’s Float DPS LV shock, which offers quick and easy adjustment between two pre-set and one adjustable compression settings. Canyon also uses a bearing in the eyelet of the shock to reduce friction.
