Remember the cost of them...shipping is harldy the problem

 

Buying and shipping a Canyon Lux Di2 from Germany to SA is still cheaper than buying a Dale or a Lized from the local shops in SA. Warranty claims is a problem, but I'll take a Canyon any day over the above mentioned bikes.

As a canyon owner I agree with you

The shock is vertical... it's all good...

It looks more like a trek...

Remember, it is all in the leverage ratios and how that changes through the stroke.

You can have two bikes that roughly look the same (semi vertical shock pushed by a rocker link) but they will ride vastly different. Different executions of the same principle.

 

IIRC the pyga gas a floating shock mount like the Trek, so that makes it vastly different. Yet it looks similar.

 

Suspension movement is a black art. Some say it is science, others know it is wizardry.
