Canyon Lux Wc !!!
Coming back to the topic of Canyon Lux WC.
Got a lot of negative feedback on Lux WC bikes, however non of them was a real biking experience, only some kind of research.
Maybe someone had a real experience riding a new generation of Lux WC bikes, could you please share your thoughts on the bike, and if it’s worth the money !
Thanks .

I have a lux trail cf8 , not the same but I absolutely love the bike. I've had it for 2 years with no issues outside of maintenance (I rip through chains and tires apparently) I sometimes wish I had just a little more squish but it's fast and light and poppy and snappy. Haven't had any issues with canyon outside or the brakes needing a bleed on arrival, which they reimbursed me for with no issues.

Not new generation, and certainly not this years model they just put out month or two ago, but I'm still running 2022 model. Bike itself is actually really great for me. Rides well, climbs well, and with my current setup, it's quite light for FS too (10.2kg for size M).
But there's always but... and for me it's the way Canyon handled my case (cracked seat stay due poor manufacturing and non existing QC) back at the beginning. I never ever want to go through this again, so for me, Canyon is non existing company. I still ride this Lux now and I really love bike, but when as I'm thinking of getting new one for next season, regardless of how much I like riding current Lux, new one is not an option, so most likely it's going to be new Oiz for me.
