• Most likely moving to the lakes in June and my gf is preemptively eyeing up bigger bikes (currently she rides a 100mm hardtail). What lightweight trail bike should she buy? Maybe she needs a 'downcountry' bike?

    The new Canyon Neuron 7 WMN on cycle-to-work seems hard to ignore, it's the alu version with XT kit and a Fox 34 grip for £2600. Anyone ridden one? Does @skinny ride a neuron?

    I noticed the xs and s come with 27.5 wheels. Is this a dealbreaker? Or will it not matter?

  • Yes I have one and love it. I keep thinking of swapping it but actually for me it's ideal. Mine is 67 ha with140 fork and I ride Rocky mountain terrain, much like the lakes. I don't want super slack as I dont charge down and I ride steep right corners. So yeah, good bike if that's your use case.
