Hi Guys

I have been looking at a Heckler or Zesty 314 as previous post however, I was looking on the canyon website and the Nerve AM 7.0 & 8.0X both look alot of bike for the money.

Can anyone recommend which is the better way to go and is the 8.0x worth the extra £300 has anyone got any experience of these if I go that Way.

Cheers

I got a 7.0, but am now about to go double and bash, and wouldn't mind a Reverb, so probably should have gone for the 8.0. However, I've never had a SRAM groupset and I know some don't get on with SRAM, so I went for the 7.0 in the end.

I don't think this helps you at all.

Depends on your personal preferences. I went for the 8.0x as i wanted 2x10 gears and a reverb.

Is SRAM XO better than Shimano XT. No not really, they are just different.

In my opinion the 8.0x Elixir 7 brakes are better than the Magura's on the 7.0 and the 8.0x Scwalbe Hans Dampf tyres are fantastic and better than the Fat Albert and Nobby Nic on the 7.0.

Other than the points mentioned above the bikes are exactly the same. Is the 8.0x worth £300 over a 7.0. In my opinion yes.

I thought that X0 was believed to be as good as XTR rather than XT? Not sure I'd tell the difference but I am perfectly happy with the X0 on my Strive.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the advice, I decided to go with the 8.0x and have been advised delivery should be next week.
