EMBARGOED UNTIL 11:00 CEST, THURSDAY 12TH JUNE 2025 —The new Pathlite:ON SUV is Canyon’s powerful and reliable do-it-all e-touring bike, engineered for riders who crave more than just their daily route, designed for both paved paths and rugged trails.

A smoother, smarter ride with automatic shifting from TRP Bosch

At the top of the range the new Pathlite:ON SUV 9 takes things a step further by blending power and precision for next-level smart performance with the revolutionary TRP Bosch automatic e-shifting derailleur.

This groundbreaking derailleur seamlessly adjusts to your cadence, torque, and terrain in real time, guaranteeing you’re in the right gear whatever the situation. Whether you're climbing sharp hills or rolling out from a stop, the system automatically, in milliseconds, puts you in the right gear. The result? A smoother, smarter ride that lets you focus on the journey, not the mechanics. More flow, less fuss and just the ride.

Built to take you even further, the Pathlite:ON SUV comes with the brand-new 600W Bosch CX motor. Paired with an 800Wh battery and the option to add a 250Wh range extender, the Pathlite:ON SUV isn’t just built for the road ahead — it’s made to chase the horizon.

Ready for any adventure

Stay in control when it counts. Whether on trails, gravel or asphalt, the SUV excels on any terrain thanks to a 120mm suspension fork and, on the Pathlite:ON SUV 9, the Bosch ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) technology option. Plus the adjustable stem adapts to your favourite riding position because comfort is king when you’re adventuring.

The Pathlite:ON SUV shares similar frame elements and carries the same motor system as Canyon’s Grand Canyon:ON, but the difference is in the details. Here's the summary:

  • The Pathlite:ON SUV 9's smaller 27.5” wheels give it more manoeuvrability and provide extra space for touring-friendly features such as mudguards.  
  • Equipped with a multitude of cargo options and a range of technical safety features such as ABS and integrated lighting, the Pathlite:ON SUV 9 makes loaded touring safe and comfortable in all conditions.
  • For the first-time ever, Canyon is offering Bosch’s optional, automatic rear derailleur shifting on the Pathlite:ON SUV 9. Thanks to its revolutionary TRP system, the innovative drivetrain gives you hassle-free gearing that matches your cadence, with the ability to switch back to manual shifting at the touch of a button.
  • For extra comfort the Canyon Vario Stem has an adjustability angle of 60° that can increase the stack height by 6 cm and shorten the reach by 3.5 cm. 
  • The Pathlite:ON SUV’s super sturdy, heavy duty MIK rack expands your possibilities. Securely attach bike accessories to any position on your bike with a simple click—from bags, to baskets, to child seats. Also compatible with Ortlieb’s QL3.1 mounting system and most standard bags, you can easily clip on your panniers and fill them with your gear.
