It looks like the ugly lovechild of a canyon and an open up.
No doubt it is laterally stiff and vertically compliant and all that. But man alive is it ugly.
Cable routing is a bit odd but otherwise think that's not bad looking. Understated.
Also nothing like the canyon - no silly shoulder bit (which does annoy me as it's nowhere near where your shoulder goes if you carry your bike properly)
I disagree. You might call the colour scheme understated, but it's got more conflicting lines and geometric features than you can shake a stick at.
It ends up looking like some really shitty design-by-committee work.
The Canyon at least is visually coherent.
