THE PATHLITE:ON 9 LTD SUV: CANYON RELEASE THE BEAST

EMBARGOED UNTIL TUESDAY 7 MARCH (11AM CET/10AM UTC) – Everyone has something in common: they weren’t born to sit inside. Rolling green landscapes, balmy summer evenings, and the smell of woodsmoke at sunset: memories are made from sensory bliss. Canyon are expert innovators in building dream bikes equipped for exploration, and their latest, greatest e-touring SUV hybrid bike brings memorable escapades right to your doorstep. Owning an e-touring bike opens you up to fresh possibilities, and the limited-edition Pathlite:ON 9 LTD SUV is kitted to the nines for weekend sunsets, dawn-to-dusk escapes, and exhilarating excursions. Whatever your call, this bike has the answer. 

The Pathlite:ON 9 LTD SUV takes the combination of sport, function, and adventure native to the Pathlite:ON family by the horns – and then throws in outrageously decadent extra features for that extra helping of innovation, premium technology, and superior handling. Long-range battery capacity, a powerful motor, and functional safety features steal the show. Not made to sit in the shed, this bike is armoured for the chop and change of mother nature. A massive range of features require no cautious approach: they’re there to remove stress from planning and logistics, so there’s more energy to explore. Whatever the riding styles, whatever the terrain. Hop on. 

Its off-road comfort and performance, low-maintenance drive system, and wireless gear shifting all breathe “gold standard.” And the elegant step-through frame is easier to get on and off, even when the bike is weighed down with supplies. After all, if you’re out all day, freedom of movement is key. Built for comfort, the dropper seat suspension post takes the sting out of jarring bumps and protects your spine on long-distance stretches. Outfitted for the outdoors with the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System, this bike has it all. The 750 Wh battery capacity makes mega-long adventures possible: that’s 340% pedal assistance with 85 Nm of torque for plenty of juice on tap across mixed terrain and ascents.

And on the subject of mixed terrain, the ingenious Bosch ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents front wheel skidding and rear wheel lifting if you suddenly need to slam on the brakes. 

For those curious about their current location or what the weather’s going to do, they only need to glance at the handlebar. The Pathlite:ON 9 LTD SUV gives two choices of display: the Bosch Kiox 300 and the SmartphoneGrip. Choose the compact Bosch Kiox 300 for route planning, GPS tracking and crystal-clear colour display. Navigation and connection to functional apps such as Strava and Komoot deliver the ultimate smart riding experience. Or, choose the SmartphoneGrip to mount your smartphone to the handlebar mount: just download the eBike Flow app and tap Ride Screen to see current speed, ride time and distance. The bike’s battery charge level is shown on screen, too. Whichever display you choose, both show all the data you need for great bike rides, every time. 

Finally, theft anxiety needn’t stop you getting your dream bike. For free additional protection, just link your choice of display with the Bosch eBike Flow app to get its anti-theft technology. Your smartphone acts as your digital key to turn off motor support after the ride. 

The limited-edition Pathlite:ON 9 LTD SUV and Pathlite:ON 9 ST (Step Through) LTD SUV will be available at canyon.com from Tuesday 1 March 2023, starting at €5,499.
