I FINALLY HAVE A DOWNHILL BIKE!

I finally have a downhill bike! My new Canyon Sender has arrived and with DH mountain biking being the Formula 1 of MTB I built this dream bike as fast as possible and testing it on a huge black level jump line! Would you ride this?

My new Canyon Sender CFR is here and what a beautiful machine this is with it’s sleek looks and beautiful design I was mega excited to get this MTB built up and hit the local trails to see how well it performs in the air! Of course this is a downhill bike, so todays test wasn’t the hardest but with a trip to Wales coming up very soon to ride downhill trails I thought i’d get out on it at Twisted Oaks bikepark first to see how it felt. I also fitted some Halo Gravitas wheels on there to make it fly even faster with the knowledge that they won’t break!
Would you ride this?

I hope you enjoy the video!

Hello everyone today is going to be epic because I just got message that my new Canyon has been dropped off at the local post office and it’s ready for collection let’s get It ah here it is fresh bike let’s blast that and get this build under Way oh no what was that oh no no no after a few struggles there which we won’t tell Canyon about we have made it home and this is the unboxing of this brand new bike that they have sent me because you guys kept asking for it in the comments this is my

New Canyon sender let’s get this thing built up and we can shred the Nar today on this epic downhill bike let’s get this clamped in my little bike stand unveiling oh my God look at the dreams that are about to be becoming a reality oh that is next level oh my

God wow that’s well steezy that thing there so Halo have sent some brand new Wheels as well so we’re going to leave the bike like that for now we’ll get these goody year newtons magied on then we can get it fully built and today we’re going to have a first little mini

Test a bit later on but let’s have a see what Wheels they’ve sent then fresh Halo gravitas Wheels they are going to fire on there let’s magic the tires on then so I’m going to put on some goody year Newtons and we’re going to do it in the good magic style here we

Go oh yes that is actually the best thing ever so much easier that magic oh look it’s done it in here as well front wheel is also magic done sick we can get them straight on then Co it’s really hotting up out here isn’t it let’s get this rear wheel on first then

Now it’s time to slot this back wheel in actually so so globish that is isn’t it it’s now time for the handlebars to go on that’s another super glish fit boom bars on front wheel time oh that is pure glove isn’t it yeah dreamy we now just need to put

Some air in these front forks I mean there is that debate do you call them Forks or a fork now going to fit some pil grips and this black and red marble effect so we don’t need them dreamy boom they’re clamped TN all nicely now the bike comes standard with

The ergon downhill saddle but I’ve got the pro tii version here which is got titanium rails and it’s super G so I’m going to get that one on instead let’s do that actually let’s just magic it on should we wow that is so dreamy look at that we

Now need just cut this seat post down slightly cuz I don’t want to have it super high sand that a bit now the finale some pedals there we go the bike is complete after building this absolute Beauty we’re now here at Twisted Oaks bike park to give it its first test but

First look how beautiful it Is Here we go then first ride on this Beast we’re going to use the black line here the full monty this is a big jump line where you can get a lot of airtime and give this thing just a sort of airtime test before the next video where we head

To Wales to do some real downhill stuff let’s get into it here we go then W let’s get it oh nice oh it’s well sick woo oh so quick today oh my god it feels amazing to be back on a downhill bike that’s incredible like I know this is an

Overkill bike for this line really cuz I have ridden it on the slop so bike but it feels epic let me get more warmed up and I want to just start doing big whips and things oh man I’m well excited dreamy wow this is the best that was proper sideways well

I was in a the hill climbing gear though so I pedal after and almost died that’s unreal right we’ve come to do some ghetto Free Ride mechanics now so it whips and rides so good but when you flip a downhill bik you got to be

Worried of if the tire is going to hit the seat or not cuz if it does it stops you dead and you do a huge ejecto seat cut over the handle was which sucks so I forgot my toolkit but what I’m want to do is take this shock off just to make

Sure that the seat’s not going to touch so I’ve got this like random setup here to get that off don’t worry it’s professional actually worked really well to be honest didn’t it so we get that out we don’t put that on the mud you hold that Lou one hand nicely then we

Can pull the shock up and we can slam the bike well yeah physically couldn’t go lower than that cuz this thing’s here and then that bit would be a tester and it hasn’t hit that yet I’m just going to level the seat a bit more flat so it

Doesn’t feel lent backy and then it’s perfect so we’ll put that back in cool that doesn’t fit all work in the slightest then does it actually yeah if I do it super ghetto the point if only my sponsors Could See Me Now oh why don’t you yeah well whatever

That’ll do right you don’t need to film anymore we got the seat checked out that it’s safe so I’m not going to get pinged over the handlebars so let’s just get a back flip on that last one see how that feels and then we can slowly start adding Maneuvers in different zones I’m

Literally loving my day out this bike’s incredible Huge didn’t even need the safety pedal oh so fun I love how it feels you can go like big and then you’ve got the extra Landing with the suspension you can go long and it’s fine let’s try slowmo just a flip can I haven’t done one of them

For ages just a one foot can so I’ll can this way so from down here will be perfect that was a well rad flip can on that beauty now I want to do a three on it but if you do 360s on bikes the smaller they are the easier it is so as

You start to get bigger the feelings of the 360 become bit different so we’re going to go on the big big one there The Mulch just to give it a little practice if I do land on my back it’s not as stiff as dirt let’s give it a go I still feel I

Could spin a touch harder to be a bit more nose dive let’s try that yeah I know so far this hasn’t been really a downhill video cuz we’ve just been riding jumps but I to get out on it this thing is actually the most incredible looking machine ever it’s

Amazing so stoked on it we got a final little line to do here on the big jumps again I want to get a flip on that hip soy that one into the last one and then a 360 on the final boot let’s see what that’s like who

Scary that’s such a steep lip to three on the D I think it worked out though I mean I didn’t die did I felt like a little bit kicked on that lip with the lack of speed so for the finale I’m going to get a slowmo on there and I’ll just race at

This jump and Then there we go blasted out a cool finale line there on the first ever ride on my Canyon sender this is incredible size medium which is a bit smaller for some of my size but I like that so I can throw it around a bit easier when doing

Tricks obviously it’s not too small so on the downhill it’s still going to perform so next week we’re going to Wales to Bike Park Wales and we’ll be able to shred some proper downhill sections on this beauty so look out for that video coming in a little bit like

Two videos down the line but wow that’s so cool The Rock shock boxes working great we got the rock shock spring on the back which is a 400 weight it actually came with two other Springs so I might explore the different weights I

Got a 450 and a 350 I think the 350 will be too soft for my weight but 450 on bigger jumps might be helpful just to keep that speed up so you’re not losing all of it in the compression through the jumps there the Shram exos in carbon feel beautiful they got these

Nice little gripper bits on there to give you a bit more grip while bombing down the hill of course the pel grips on there working like a treat look at this come here come full day of lapping not a mark on there I know there shouldn’t be

Cuz it’s just already been only a few hours but with the cheapest and best lock on RPP in the market why haven’t you got a pair on your bike already Link in BIO no link in description or up here and like you saw earlier I fitted the Goodyear Tires

These are actually the Newton trail tires so they’re the less strong tire but because of that the weight is less and that’s exactly what I want for whipping the bike around and things so we’ll see how they work at bike P whales in the rough stuff but I’ve actually

Been using them on my ebikes all year with no problems and with inner tubes that isn’t with the goo in the middle so they’re a very strong tire so they should be fine but other than that I’ve just had the best day ever thank you very much Canyon see you in the next
