Mine had that with first 3-4 months of usage. After one of the sw updates it’s never occurred again

You can try to reset the module ,it has a pin hole on the bottom you push a pin in.
Remove the battery cover and you will see the module ,just remove the screws and find the hole

Error 905007 just went away on its own. I think the module battery just needed time to recharge or something. I did contact canyon and they told me to bring it to a Bosch center for diagnosis, and warranty service but turns out I didn't need to.

I was seriously looking at the Strive On CFR LTD but found out through Canyon USA that you can't get a 750WH Battery in the US as an option and if I wanted it I'd have to order it through a Bosch Dealer. I ended up ordering a Wild. Strive looks like an amazing bike.

Just an update on my chainring saga… i contacted canyon via the warranty process and submitted pictures of the frame damage and the picture of the chainring size my bike came with. They got back to me with an offer to buy back my bike and (and after a couple emails back and forth) rebuy any bike for 10% off and $150 worth of canyon swag. I did ask if sending just a rear triangle was possible but they do not have them in the US.

It was quite a hassle bc I had already installed brakes, fork, shock, tubeless stems and invisiframe. I uninstalled everything (except the wrap). Got the new bike the other day and repeated the process with RideWrap this time. Bike was absolutely fantastic yesterday on its first ride

I will say that, although it takes them 3-4 days for the warranty claim to get started, overall their customer service was responsive and I’m happy with the result.

I am looking for a rear mud guard and can't seem to find anything that's bolt on. Are you happy with the one you got?
Do you have a link to where I can buy the same?

I've got this one which looks very similar to the one in the post above.

Thanks! Looks tight though. Does it work well?

On my Strive

Rear / Front

Shit Flap made of two layers slapper tape back to back and mounted with a stripe 3m electric tape



On my Levo:
Rear but cuted and Front Fox stock long

It's not tight and it works really well at keeping crap away from the bearings at the back of the bike.
It doesn't stop me getting a wet arse and back, I think a longer Mudhugger style guard is needed for that but they don't look too good and can hit the floor if you're moving your bike around on the back wheel.

sorry just saw this. Its a mucky nutz short guard. You have to make a small hole on the top to tie it to the seatstay brace, and trim away a small section so the chain doesn't rub, but the plastic is soft so its pretty easy. Fit is perfect and I like the way it looks.

I just bought a new Bosch 625 battery as I wanted to have two and switch between them. It of course came without the spacer/adapter, latch and mounting kit. Does anyone have a list of all the parts needed to fit the battery to the Strive, and maybe links to where I can buy it?

If you call canyon they will create an invoice for you with all the parts needed , it will take a couple of weeks for them to sort it . cost was about £44

 

[Bandido]

Ok. Not possible to buy the parts from webshop? Aren't they made by Bosch?

i think only dealer can buy from them .

Looking to pull the trigger on a new Strive:On. Both The Underdog (5,049 €) and CFR (6,049 €) models are on sale. After looking at the specs am I missing something other than Deore vs XT and upgraded shocks? the question is, is the CFR worth the extra 1,000€?

Also, it looks like I'm between sizes of L/XL. I've always sized up to XL, but based on the numbers that doesn't feel like the right choice. My height is 191.5 cm and my inseam is 87 cm. If anyone with similar dimensions can chime in about what size frame they went with it would be much appreciated!

Has been covered before but just quickly: better brakes (XT 4 piston), better fork (38 with Grip 2 damper and all the settings), X2 performance shock (up to you if worth it but technically better although only low speed comp/reb), better wheel set
For me deffo worth it and I'm really happy with it, would've cost me >1K to make the improvements afterwards
I'm 189cm and unsure of inseam but I went Large and it feels awesome, I know Rob is a bit taller than me and went Large too. That said I know some folks on the board, albeit not many, are around this height and went with XL.

I feel that an XL would be a little unwieldy on the tech trails that I like to ride in Swiss Alps

edit: oh also 6 bolt rotors as I hate centre lock rotors

im 188 and have size L does not feel small , i think \l would be a more fun size for you

Some photos from yesterday ride (36km / 1584m/92% @750W battery)
Knowing that wild horses didn't run, means bike is silent, after "repairing" upper bracket and "Simple Solution Prototype" meaning it's doing it' work in holding properly the battery! Eheheh

Joy has returned, knowing that the annoying cutouts has been sorted (up to now, at least!!!)

Fully agree to all of this. But there is one "small" issue with it: the battery latch problem always prevents me from using the full potential of this extremely good bike (it is meanwhile a kind of latch protection built into my brain...).

Solution is on the way!

In the meantime, check your upper bracket, and assemble everything with threadlock

At least we didn't had this kind of problems

Ehehehheeh!

Thing is...
A dog with two onwers, will die of starvation!

Same here! Power units are closed systems and propertery.
Manufactures don't go to solve their issues, but suffer from it!
It's a shitty world we live in... where money is the king, and being honest is close to being stupid!

Yes, nice video, that's exactly what is in my head and prevents me to push to the limit... (my worst nightmare came true).

Ive had my Strive on crf ltd for 7 weesk , ive only done 200 miles on it in that time ,but that 200 miles is bike park miles , the bikes been hammered and never missed a beat , it did come with the new latch system from new so the issue is now a none issue

I would (really, really and honestly) love to believe that, but unfortunately there are others who have had the problem after a while despite having a new latch. In principle, this is to be expected, because the two small additional "struts" cannot seriously be a solution to the problem. The static 4.3 kg of the Powertube 750 plus the corresponding additional dynamic forces when riding in tough terrain require a "slightly" different solution (something an engineer learns in the first semester..., sorry). As I already said before: Canyon should have accepted a few grams more and installed a Bosch Rail so that the static and dynamic forces are not absorbed by a ridiculous latch on one side and the battery connector on the other side. Just to avoid misunderstandings: the bike is great, but whoever came up with this battery holder solution should first be slapped on the backside by everyone who bought this bike and then be fired by Canyon. That wouldn't help anyone who owns the bike, but hopefully it wouldn't happen again.

Unfortenatly (Very Unfortenatly, btw...), I had several battery problems after the first 1.000 kms.

When I first saw the msg stating the problem, I thought it would be just some, and mostly those that remove/install the battery regularly.

Never thought it won't happen, but since I rode over 1.000km problem free.... There was a bit of hope, that the Strive :ON, I received was ok on this battery/disconnection issues (it had other issues, that were solved).

Thing is, I don't recall seeing someone wirh problems from kilometer 0.
battery/disconnectiin problems start after XXX kms, meaning is something that agravates with riding time.

On mine, after several issues, and having placed the bike in 3 bike shops, I quit repeating the process, and check personally what was happening.
What I observed, is that the upper bracket, is not properly assembled - meaning using threadlock on all bolts.

I sugest to anyone with this problem, to go ahead and verify this upper support.
It's a bit of a PITA, but is worth the trouble and assemble the bike properly!

The latch, is just a part of a problem (bad battery securing design), but anyone with disconnection/battery problem, should really check both parts:
-Latch
-Upper Battery Bracket (inside downtube)

Hope this helps everyone.

so your saying im lying ? if i had tHat issue once i would be on here shouting about it

No, I'm not saying you're lying at all! But you can't say anything about the latch problem at just 200 miles... Please read the forum here. Most people think that putting in the new latch will solve all the problems. But for many people the problem recurs after 500 to 1000 km (I'm not saying it recurs exactly in this range, it really depends on the individual driving style).
I hope things stay well with you forever.
As I said: If you do the math with a bit of engineering knowledge, you'll see that neither the old nor the new latch can hold the battery when it comes down to the real business. Take a look at the solution for the Torque:On (assembly video from Canyon), the battery is screwed in there and that also holds the even heavier 900Wh battery!!
I'm also thinking of such a solution for my Strive:On. The only thing that's stopping me so far is that I have to drill into the frame for this. But if the suffering becomes a little greater...
