Origin

The Canyon Stitched is the German direct-to-consumer brand's dirt-jump and slopestyle platform, built around 26" wheels, a 100 mm-travel dirt-jump fork, a low-slung aluminium frame, and a singlespeed 30×11T drivetrain. It targets dirt jumpers, pump-track riders, and slopestyle competitors. The current line splits into three jobs: the all-new 2025 Stitched 360 hardtail (from €1,099, with a €1,499 CLLCTV upgrade build), rated to the gruelling Category 5 standard — the strongest frame Canyon makes; the full-suspension Stitched 720 slopestyle bike with 100 mm of progressive rear travel via a RockShox Monarch RT shock (from ~€1,800); and the carbon Stitched CFR Trial, a 24"-wheel street-trials machine co-developed with Austrian rider Fabio Wibmer. The platform is a deliberate, value-led alternative to slopestyle specialists like NS Bikes, DMR, and Saracen.

Specifications

Frame: Aluminium (360 dirt-jump hardtail, Category 5 rated; 720 full-sus uses mixed 7005 & 6061 alloy). Carbon on the CFR Trial street-trials build (1,700 g frame with polymer-fibre reinforcement).
Weight: kg
Drivetrain: Singlespeed 30×11T. RaceFace Aeffect cranks on the standard 360; SRAM/Truvativ Descendant cranks on the CLLCTV and 720. Single front chainring, dropout chain tensioner — no derailleur.
Brakes: Single rear hydraulic/mechanical disc brake (no front brake) with a custom short Canyon lever — standard on the new 360. Magura MT7 on the CFR Trial. Older STCHD builds used SRAM Level T with a 160 mm Centerline rotor.
Wheels: 26" (360 and 720); 24" on the CFR Trial street-trials build. New 360 uses Canyon Stitched wheelset; CLLCTV gets DT Swiss DJ 370 hubs; older builds used Alexrims FR30 on Stitched hubs (20×110 front / 9×135 rear).

The verdict

+Strengths

Exceptional frame strength — the new 360 is built to Canyon's Category 5 standard, the toughest frame the brand makes, ideal for repeated hard dirt-jump and slopestyle landings.
Strong direct-to-consumer value: a complete dirt jumper from €1,099 (360) with a Manitou Circus fork, undercutting most shop-bought rivals on spec-per-euro.
Two reach options (S/L) on the 360 plus the updated longer/lower/slacker geometry let riders dial fit for technical pumping or bigger, more stable jump lines.
Clean, purpose-built singlespeed setup with a dropout chain tensioner — low maintenance, nothing to snag, and the BB-box keeps the bottom bracket stiff.
Broad, coherent range: hardtail 360 for jumps/pump, full-suspension 720 for slopestyle, carbon CFR Trial for street trials — one platform covering three disciplines.

−Weaknesses

Single, niche purpose: a slammed seatpost, singlespeed gearing and one rear brake make it useless for trail riding, commuting or any seated pedalling — buyers must already want a dirt jumper.
Direct-to-consumer model means no local shop fit/test ride; the rider must self-assess size (S vs L) and assemble/tune the bike out of the box.
26" wheel/tire and dirt-jump-specific parts (e.g. 20×110 front, 9×135 rear hubs) limit cross-compatibility with modern boost trail components.
100 mm of travel and slopestyle geometry feel harsh and twitchy on rough natural trails — it is built for smooth man-made jumps, not chunky descents.
Limited spec choice and frequent sold-out status (Canyon stock model) can make it hard to actually buy the variant or size you want when you want it.

Did you know

01The Stitched is not a 20" race BMX — it is a 26"-wheel dirt-jump/slopestyle hardtail (360) and full-suspension slopestyle bike (720), competing with NS Bikes and Specialized P.Slope rather than traditional BMX.
02The new 2025 Stitched 360 frame is tested to Category 5 — Canyon says it is the strongest frame the brand has ever made, aimed squarely at the repeated heavy landings of dirt-jump and slopestyle riding.
03There is a sibling model that is NOT 26": the carbon Stitched CFR Trial is a 24"-wheel street-trials bike co-developed with Fabio Wibmer, weighing just 9.95 kg with a 1,700 g frame, Magura MT7 brakes and an SQlab signature cockpit.
04Like all dirt jumpers, the Stitched 360 ships with only a single rear brake and a slammed, non-dropper seatpost — there is deliberately no front brake and the saddle is for grip in the air, not for sitting and pedalling.

Who it’s for

Dirt-jump, pump-track, or slopestyle rider who wants a tough, light, singlespeed 26" hardtail with direct-to-consumer pricing and a recognisable freestyle pedigree.
