Vintage Rider Vs Modern Superbike | XC Edition

@gcn Dive into the ever-evolving world of mountain biking with Si Richardson from GCN as he takes on the challenge of embracing the latest trends.

In this video, Blake Samson introduces Si to the game-changing Canyon Lux Trail, a 120/115 mm full-suspension, modern geometry cross-country bike. Will this bike be the key to pulling Si into the present? Join us for a fun journey into mountain biking’s evolution and the quest to bridge the gap between old-school and modern trail tech!
