Getting a Canyon Nerve xc 7.0 - But which colour?

badgerman26

So having searched the tinterweb I have decided to get a Nerve XC 7.0. The issue is which colour. I prefer the black as its not a wierd green, but then don't like the bright silver after seeing real life photos on here. Would have preferred black and white.

Does anyone have the Forrest green and white? If so what made you choose a green mTB?

If anyone has any real life pics then please post as the website ones don't seem to be true.

Cheers

Becuase green is faster than black.
I don't have a canyon, but i have a green MTB.
I'm a bike tart, so I like green - the brighter the better (and it's different - everyone seems to have a black or white MTB.).

BTW: I love the look of the forest green canyons.

see, Im the opposite. Brightly coloured bikes in general I think look pretty horrible. I prefer black, white or silver(mainly because most colours go with these so when upgrading I don't really have to worry about colours, whereas brightly coloured bikes, unless they have a specific colour scheme, look clown-esque).

You may say I'm boring - your probably right.

However, the Canyon in green is actually damn nice. I would gof or the silver, Theres too many in black, don't see as many silver ones.

I have the green and like you was a little concerned but looks really good. In some lights it looks black then when the sun hits it the colour really pops.

I've got the xc9 in black/silver. Pretty discrete and far from bling. The green is a little more 'in your face'... depends what you're looking for

I have the black xc but chose it because of the anodized finish. Personally I love it but the green looks good as well. I am liking the understated look of the black especially when having to lock it up at work all day in the city if riding afterwards as it doesn't stand out as much to a tea leaf.

Thanks everyone. What is different about the anodised black, is the green paint then? Which is hardier?

Anodized should be more durable and hard wearing then paint in the long run although doesn't look as shiny :-)
