I have this bike, It’s true that it is a little heavy but I love it since the first ride. It’s a great bike!

Hi Wolf pack, I just purchased this bike on the packs recommendation. I am 6' 1" i ordered the medium. I have been riding for years and i am long in the tooth. This is my first E bike. I valve your insight and advice. Keep up the great content.

Super excited for this years shootout! Ive always wanted to see a battle of the entry level. We all love seeing the top of the line top spec, but to see which entry bikes have the best low spec package is for a beginner like me is awesome. In the future it could be a great comparison against cheap bike with good parts or top end bike with base parts.

Just picked up one of the Underdogs and Loving it . What really surprised me is the forks a pretty good. I am 5'-9-1/2" and the med is perfect . Thanks for all the videos 👍👍👍👍

Damn those trails look fun! Canyon Strive sounds like a rad bike!

[GlenBarker]

Just ordered this after 2 months of watching, rewatching and reading all your reviews on this. Thanks for all the great content you all put out there, best channel around!

As a relative beginner whos coming to this from a hard tail non emtb i cant wait to get out more, ride more and learn more.

And with Canyon deals + cycle to work initiatives getting this for sub $4k feels like a great deal vs the alternatives.

Cheers guys! 🍻

I always thought that the canyon strive ON was and is a great value emtb it would be one of my choices if I was to get into emtbs which I plan to but overall great review

[rudyeignor]

Looking at this bike and the scott ransom e920 which would you choose

[kevingilbert]

I bought this exact model last week with the Canyon $900 off sale. It is my first E-MTB and man I love it so far. Plenty of power and fun as hell. I would agree that it does ride a little heavy but I like that it because it makes the bike feel planted and I am not much of a jumper. So on tech it is bomb. For the price and parts spec it is hard to beat and that Bosch motor over the Shimanos that I have tested is money instant engagement and power. I was worried about the brakes as well as I am not a fan of SRAM brakes at all. I ride Maguras on my regular bike and have always like Shimano brakes but actually I don't have any complaints about the brakes (well maybe a little soft). That being said it will be one of my first upgrades.

Interesting how I am seeing a lot more Underdog reviews popping up lately the last few months now that the CFR and CFR LTDs are no longer in stock on the Canyon site. I still think the CFR mid range model has the best spec to $ deal but cannot buy one, (in the U.S.) now. Hoping for some nice updates on 2025 model.

Looking at Spectral on with ep8 and 900wh battery or the Strive with Bosh!! I know you guys are familiar with my local trails in Knoxville, which should I go for!!

[DoubleTap]

The sale price is pretty good right now, but I think I’m still leaning towards the Decoy. Hard to beat them for the price. I ride a spectral, but I’m with you, I don’t like the way this strive looks

[jeanmarc_in_Hudson]

Love this bike, geo for a small (5’9”) is very similar to mine, too bad they’re not available yet in Canada. Great review thanks! 👍

[blub]

How does it compare to the Spectral:ON? Thanks! 🤠

[carmacom]

Canyon Strive ON cfr underdog or Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo G3? Got a ok discount on the S works so it’s a price difference of about 4000€ between them. But is it worth it?
Basically I like to go trails with extreme climbing, but i’m not that extreme downhill rider.

[PedroMartinsEnduro]

So I'm 6'1 should I buy a medium?

[JoJo-yrio]

Would you sell your turbo levo alloy you built on the channel to try something new with this Bosch powered carbon canyon stive on underdog? Or is the specialized still the one you would go for??

[tonyvaccarelli]

seriously looking at this bikebright now, but I'm afraid none of my LBS will work on it if i need anything fixed because i didn't buy it from them . any ideas jow to navigate this problem ? thanks, really enjoy the content you guys are always putting out

just so you, you released this video, the price went up about 12%, on the website

[lHawkee]

I bought the more expensive version in green and love it but I got it in size Large
