2024 Strive:ON

[Mario Antony]

It’s coming really soon if my information is correct New parts on both sides of the battery

Is this a wishful christhmas thinking?

1) Where did you get this information?
2) Why Canyon not even acknowledge the problem?
3) "Really Soon" in terms of actual time, is what 2, 3 weeks time?


Not seeing any move, smoke, or whatever in the seeing any light on the problem.

I don't really know why you continually say that Canyon don't even acknowledge the problem? Many people have contacted them about the issue and have been assured that they are close to resolving the issue with a new part/parts. I contacted them about it and they sent me a replacement latch and said that the new solution will be made available to all those experiencing any problems.

It’s from a person that works for Canyon that I trust.
They have acknowledged the problem, that’s why they have developed new fittings.
That I don’t have an answer for, but I think Canyon works as fast as they can.
And for your knowledge I have 2 custom Strive bikes myself so very eager to get the new solution on them.

Because there isn't a coherence on the responses.
This lack of coherence is observed in some Customer Accounts
responses: it may say a solution is underway, while others are unware (even after explaining in detail what it is).

If there was acknowledge or awareness of such problem a single response would be given to all customers in all countries.

For example, if Canyon was so proactive, the correct actions would be:
#1) Stock the parts from Bosch (From Bosch... not Canyon - just saying!)
#2) Ship the parts to the customer, upon contact and complaint

Also... and this is really important, is that the part is a Bosch part, and not a Canyon part.

I'm very ceptical regarding this Canyon thing, because in truth... it's really a Bosch problem (that affects not only Canyon, but also Focus and Scott with same system!)

Ok? I see.
Niklas,
Would it be possible to check if the solution is Canyon's or a joint solution with Bosch?
Or better still, is the Bosch part being replaced with a Canyon's part?

Thank you!

I received the following from Canyon Yesterday:

"I hope you're doing well!

We wanted to give you an update regarding the availability of Strive: ON here in the US. We're actively working on bringing it to our shelves, but unfortunately, at this moment, we don't have a confirmed estimated time of arrival (ETA) for its availability.

We'll be sure to keep you updated once we have more concrete information on its arrival."

That’s the exact response I’ve received, thus moved on. Building my SC Bullit as I type this!!

I've got ski season just starting up to keep me occupied, hopefully they get inventory sorted when spring rolls around.

 

[a_double]

I'm on the slopes too, but when not, I got a bike to build

if you order a striveON now, will you get the new battery mount?

I read a post on the FaceBook group with a picture of a Canyon online chat. It said that any new bikes will be already fitted with the updated and redesigned latch

Competition has always accelerated the pace of development, and the discipline of e-enduro racing is no different. This fledgling race category has not been around for very long, but it’s already pushing forward at a relentless speed. Advances in equipment ridden by competitors are continually...

Is the battery in our bikes horizontal or vertical?

Nice !
You use a Fox Factory Standard or Ebike ?
I don't know if the difference is big for a rider like me ( 1m68 / 66kg )
Thx a lot for your answer

 

[Mikerb]

Bosch powertubes are 84x65. If the on off button is facing you and the 2 brass threads are vertical...its a vertical battery.

Ok, now it's clear, excuse me for my silly answer.

Fitted this little beauty. Engineering masterclass. Feels brilliant. My time would have probably been better spent cleaning the rest of the bike

Hi all
Quick question not just relating to the Canyon Strive:ON but to all sorts of full suspension EMTBs where there is some indication by the manufacturer that using trailers is not allowed. Canyon only officially allows using trailers with a few Commuter Bikes:

When I go for morning rides, it's very practical to drop off the kids using the trailer and then go to the trails right away. Do you feel like this is just some precautionary measure by the manufacturer to not do a whole lot of testing with trailers when bringing EMTBs on the market or is there something particular to worry about, e.g. rear triangle bearings or so? I assume that the forces on the bike when jumping or riding rough terrain are generally quite a bit stronger than towing a trailer. However, the specific one-sided force on the rear axle (trailer plus kids can be up to 50kgs) is something that does not generally occur to EMTBs or MTBs in general. Any thoughts are welcome!

Canyon and other coorporations avoid liability on some uses (like what you want) by limiting use/imposing restrictions.

It's usually due to Coorporative Layers being aware of costs associated with lawsuits (and warranty claims!) and so on... and not wanting to assume anything outside the scope for which the bike was projected.

You can use, because there are no Laws (yet!) that forbid such uses, but it's up to you, and in case there are any problems (to your bike, your trailer, you and/or your kids and/ or third parties. Being PROBLEMS related to warranty or physical/moral/material damage).

In resume: evaluate the risks involved, and use at your own descretion.

Personally, I wouldn't place a 50kg trailer attatched to the chainstays or rear axle! On an emergency stop, the forces&torque that go throught the attatchment can damage your bilke

I personally wouldn't use a trailer on a carbon bike. Carbon is very strong in the direction that it's designed to be strong in, but weak in other directions. (Think side impact).

Also, pulling a lot of weight will put additional strain on the drivetrain causing it to wear quicker.

Mostly though, what would you do with the trailer after you drop the kids off?!

 

[schoefli]

Thanks for the responses. I can leave the trailer at the day care, this is no problem. I'm wondering though, particularly considering side impacts, if e.g. a slightly unfinished whip on a big jump might not be similarly strong. But I guess there's no way to really know...

You should be OK with that. Carbon can flex a bit and the stress would be coming through the frame where it's intended to.

It's more if you impact the middle of a bar of the frame from the side, or clamp a carbon frame. Carbon isn't good at resisting clamping forces, unless it's designed to be.

Green badge of honour for fitting the tricky bugger. Thanks to @TommyC for the great service getting it to me

 

[CrispyDesigns]

Made a frame stand to get the rear wheel off the ground. I don’t have anywhere to mount a bike clamp and don’t really need a folding bike stand cluttering up my small shed.

A bit of aluminium extrusion and a few brackets. Way more stable than it looks. Probably due to the weight of the motor and battery being so centralised over the stand’s platform. Rubber feet keep things nice and slip free. Pretty chuffed. Will make gear adjustment and drivetrain cleaning a lot easier.

@Stephan-Qc nice bike! Love the Ohlins too. Any chance of a photograph or two of how and where the Kiox is mounted?
