My new Canyon Nerve AM 6.0 in Mamba Green

Only changed a few things since purchasing...
1. Easton EC70 MonkeyLite bars
2. Charge Spoon saddle.
3. Changed to Nobby Nics 2.25 as the 2.4's are a bit overkill imo for local use.

Bike rides great, my first full suss and turns my local trails into Easy mode :) Chose the AM over XC as i have a HT for lighter trail / Race work so wanted a more dedicated hard hitter which this bike does perfectly.

Everyone comments on the colour (in a good way :)) and cant believe the spec for the money :shock:

Overall,l thoroughly pleased :D

Anyway, pics...

    Love the colour. Totally agree with the saddle change...it is not comfy but it is light. I want to change mine, just not found the right one.

    Wow

    Looks great

    Mine comes tomorrow!!! Cannot wait. Bet it doesn't turn up till 7pm!

    Mine's in anodised black.

    Am going to persevere with the 2.4 tyres for a bit and see how we get on

    I was able to swap my stem for a shorter one when I ordered it but they wouldn't swap the tyres for 2.25 Nobby Nics that they put on the XC range?!?

    Was a tad miffed at that but never mind

    Just didn't like the feel of the saddle, purely a personal thing and the Charge Spoon is great value for money and also not bad in weight.

    Yeah the 2.4's just seem a bit much for my local trails and having a spare set of Nics i just swapped em over. I should point out the the tyres that come with the bike are also the snakeskin version so they really dont hold back on the quality parts :)
