Whether you’re a junior adventurer or a grown-up who still loves fun and freedom, the new Grand Canyon is your ideal bike. Created to inspire and enable escape and enjoyment on every ride, for every rider.
Lightweight, tough and effortlessly controlled, the Grand Canyon is a perfect partner for play or everyday riding. Far summits, swooping singletrack, forest exploring, breezing to work or getting your groceries car free. Family rides, group adventures or mindful time for health and fitness. Whether you’re making forever memories or just tonight’s dinner, Canyon have listened to what you’ve said and designed the Grand Canyon to over deliver in every way.
Cue a totally fresh, sleeker, lighter, enhanced-versatility, alloy frame. Tough but with friendly, engaging handling and an enthusiastically lively ride feel. Enhanced with efficient yet confident component choices from top brands like Shimano, Schwalbe, DT Swiss, RockShox and Fox. Dropper post and kickstand compatible for wild rides or parking at work, with mounting points for carrying everything you need with ease.
Four different specifications on full size bikes, plus smaller wheeled versions, make choosing your ideal price and performance package simple. All delivered with inclusive sizing at excellent prices so more riders can get more. Much more.
A true mountain bike for every use and for all cyclists
The Grand Canyon is not only a multipurpose over-achiever that expands what you can do with your mountain bike, it also welcomes the broadest range of riders possible to the adventure. Available in seven sizes from 3XS to XL with proportional geometry where it counts to make sure everyone gets the same sweet ride.
24” wheels and youth specific components on the smallest Young Hero model mean easy self-start confidence for progression on all terrain. 2XS and XS sizes get 27.5” wheels too for fast growing excitement and adventurous ambitions. Larger models roll effortlessly on 29” wheels for the smoothest, most efficient experience.
The totally fresh, slimline alloy frame weighs less than 2kg in a medium size, light enough to make ‘far’ closer and ‘steep’ easier. It’s also sculpted to be forgiving and friendly however long your ride. Narrower rims and tires put your bike on its toes for faster acceleration and responsive ride feel.
Complete bike weights from 12.5kg (11.5kg on our Young Hero 24”) amplify that advantage up technical climbs, away from stop lights or when storing and transporting your bike.
With more confident geometry, Category 3 rated frame, suspension fork travel increased to 120mm travel and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, the Grand Canyon takes the worry out of wild riding. Lower top tube and long dropper seat posts on the Grand Canyon 7 and 8 let you move with the terrain so you’re a pilot not a passenger. Intuitive, sequential shift wide range gears are easy to use and efficient everywhere. So while it’s happy helping with the shopping or riding to school, this isn’t a soft roader, but a bike with its heart truly in the hills.
Built to look good and work great
Versatility is an easy word to use but a much harder reality to create. Mounts for up to three multi position bottles plus fenders, racks, kickstands, external tools and bike packing bags and ‘gear interface’ for a light/GPS/camera mount on the stem makes Grand Canyon a true multi tool.
The frame will fit tires up to 2.4” for extra comfort and grip and it’ll even tow a trailer with Canyon’s optional axle kit so the whole family can enjoy a Grand Canyon adventure. All frames except the Young Hero 24” have Boost bolt through axles and a UDH gear mount.
Cleaner internal cable aesthetic makes bag mounting easier while the minimalist look is enhanced with fresh, natural colour options. Genuinely a bike that will stand out on the high street and stand up to adventures in the high mountains.

Word to Canyon
“The Grand Canyon is all about versatility. The goal was to create a modern, attractive hardtail MTB that excels on technical trails but handles long adventures or everyday life just as well. The slim upper frame triangle and clean lines shows off the bike’s lightweight construction and retain Canyon’s signature identity. We also set out to secure our best-in-class status and be the most competitive in terms of price-to-performance. Add reduced weight, improved geometry, all the utility features, as well as the youth version, and you’ll be hard pushed to find a better pound-for-pound mountain bike.”
