With only three models, the Forestal range is pretty easy to navigate. It’s an e-bike only brand from Andorra, where the Siryon is the 170mm-travel enduro model that we tested in the November issue, the Hydra is a Siryon with a dual-crown fork, and the Cyon is Forestal’s 150mm-travel trail bike.
Forestal then splits each platform into tiers, lowest to highest as follows: Halo, Neon and Diode, so the Cyon Neon tested here is the mid-range, mid-powered, mid-travel model. Simple, right?
It shares the exact same full carbon frame as the other two bikes in the Cyon line-up, a frame that’s designed around a powerful 60Nm Bafang-built EonDrive motor (1.95kg). Geometry and sizing is modern for a 150mm-travel 29er trail bike, bar the 480mm seat tube length that limits the amount of drop you can run on your seatpost.
