    By my reckoning the 8.0 is £395 more than the 7.0.

    Just checked the pricing on the Canyon website as I am deciding between the two as well.

    The XC 7 Is practically sold out
  • Thanks for replies.

    I am actually based in Switzerland so I go through different stock as not branded as Canyon (Pure cycling). That is the price difference for me.

    What u rec?

    Buy the 8, the fork is worth the extra for the FIT damper.
  • Cheers guys. I went with the 8.0 in black forest green for £1290 equiverlent. Comes in 4 days. Can't wait.
