Stay hydrated
Leave your hydration pack at home and stay hydrated on the longest races. All Lux World Cup CFR models have space for mounting two large bottles – even on the smallest bikes in size XS. There’s ample room in every frame size, although we do recommend Canyon Sideloader cages for maximum ease of access.
Integrated cable routing
Routing brake and shifting cables and lines from the handlebar through the frame creates a super-clean look and keeps your bike running smoother by protecting everything from the elements. And on the Lux, we’ve taken one step further – by routing them directly through the headset, even less cable is exposed for maximum benefit.
Details make the difference
The Lux World Cup packs a variety of smart features that deliver real benefits out on the trail. Examples? Dropped chains suck, so we fitted an ultralight 3.6 g chain guide. Likewise, our integrated Impact Protection Unit prevents the handlebars from over-rotating and crushing the bike’s top tube during a crash. Finally, the integrated Quixle has the stiffness of a rear thru-axle and convenience of tool-free rear wheel removal.
Sturdy, stiff, superlight
At a highly competitive 1,925 grams, the Lux World Cup CF frame is one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames in its class, beating many of the lightest full-suspension frames around in the weight stakes. And we actually boosted the frame’s stiffness despite its lightweight credentials, all while still meeting our punishing Category 3 testing standards.
Unrivalled climbing efficiency
The latest-gen Lux World Cup further improves on the core kinematics and anti-squat values that made its predecessor a World Cup-winning, climb-devouring racing machine. Combined with the frame’s extremely low weight, tweaks to the shock position, rocker link, anti-squat and general kinematics have resulted in our most efficient and fastest-climbing mountain bike ever. Simply put – this bike flies.
Even more capable
What goes up must come down. The Lux World Cup not only gets you to the top of the climb first – now more capable and confident on the downs, it also gets you to the bottom of the mountain even faster, even on technical modern XC tracks. All thanks to a new overhauled progressive geometry, with a 15 mm longer reach, slack 68.5° head angle, and shorter stems than its predecessor.
Dropper post as standard
Descend confident, descend fast. When things get steep and techy, there’s only one thing to do: push the handlebar-mounted button and drop the saddle down. This dropper post goes down fast and gives you more room to get low, and maneuverer your body weight so you can pick your line with precision and rip the descents all-out.
Clean, sleek cables designed for racing
Fully integrated cables isn’t just an aesthetic choice but also designed to give your peace of mind when your sole focus is the next lap. Unlike semi integrated cables, usually routed over the bottom bracket, there’s no risk of debris build up or track snags ruining your race. In the long term, there’s no risk of smaller particles harming the integrity of your frame, keeping your race ready for longer.
Shaving grams, boosting performance
We’ve eliminated every last unnecessary gram so that you have the most efficient experience possible. Creating a carbon flex pivot, developing a lighter rear triangle, and upgrading the bearings means only the essential remains.
