  1. After turning heads and dividing opinions with the launch of the Grail and its "hover bar" in 2018, Canyon have added a new, more adventure oriented gravel bike dubbed the Grizl. The Grizl builds on the successful formula of the Grail in sticking closely to a geometry mix that Canyon found works well, but amps up the accommodation for burlier tyres - up to 50mm on 700C wheels with 45mm fitted out of the box. The Grizl also brings mounting options on the fork legs, top tube, the usual bottle cage mounts, another below the top tube and a traditional handlebar setup. You should not be short of options when it comes to stowing extra gear, snacks or spares. View full article
  2. On Tuesday, 2 March, at one of the opening classic races "Le Samyn", a part of the handlebar of our Alpecin-Fenix pro Mathieu van der Poel (NED) quite obviously broke off during the race. Experts from the Canyon development and quality management departments immediately began analysis and testing to understand the cause of this incident. The affected cockpits (CP0018 and CP0015) are only installed on the current Aeroad models CF SLX and CFR. The Aeroad CF SL model is not in any way affected by this issue.

  3. Press Release In 2015 we launched the rim brake Speedmax. And ever since, it has achieved a level of success unmatched and unsurpassed in the world of triathlon. Continuously improved by our engineers, it has helped the best athletes in the world achieve the greatest success in our sport Click here to view the article
  4. Press Release In July 2014, Canyon unveiled the Aeroad CF SLX, a bike that would move the aero road bike game on considerably. Until this day, the Aeroad CF SLX has been held as a benchmark for overall aero road bike performance. It united clear aero­ dynamic gains, comfort, stiffness, lightness and an aggressive geometry in ways the competition had yet to succeed in doing. This generation of the Aeroad is arguably one of the most complete road racing bikes ever created. Click here to view the article
  5. Press release The original Exceed was raced to World Championship victory, shattered the course record at Leadville, and repeatedly rocketed to World Cup podiums at Albstadt, Cairns, Nove Mesto, and Val di Sole. How do you improve on all that? Like this. The all new Exceed is lighter, stiffer, and carries you over rough courses with absolute control. Click here to view the article
  6. It’s simple: the Neuron is the definitive all-round full-suspension mountain bike – efficient enough for big days with plenty climbing, and with 130 mm of travel, also capable enough to tackle technical trails. And it just got even better for 2020 – inheriting a range of design features and technologies from its big brother, the multi award-winning carbon fibre Neuron CF. Click here to view the article
  7. Hi there Does anyone know is it is possible to replace a H36 cockpit on CF SLX Ultimate? How would I go about it? Does canyon sell replacement parts? @erikkleinhans Regards Johan
  8. Hey did you see Canyon running a free shipping promo for the epic!! This means you can purchase a brand new bike from Canyon and you wont pay shipping! now that's a reason for a upgrade! Hassle and worry free, follow the link below to get you and your bike sorted! https://www.canyon.com/en-za/experience/news/article.html
  9. Hi Hubbers, I would like to state from the outset that this is not a scathing review of Canyon nor is this intended to sway you from making a purchase. Rather, I'd like this to be an informative post that you can take into consideration when making your bike purchase. I speak here, purely, on the Aeroad model from Canyon. A little background... I purchased my Canyon April-May this year. I was absolutely blown away by their prices and components, not just on the Aeroad but on ALL of their bikes. Including the 30% tax and duty charge (15% each), the Aeroad at my door came to a rough R78K. This was the 8.0 Model with Reynolds full carbon wheels and Ultegra Di2. Finding anything close to this locally would have set me back +100K! So it seemed a no-brainer to buy the Aeroad. I am happy to explain the import process but thats not the point of this post. All in all bike arrived relatively hassle free. I loved the bike! looked great, rode even better! After the second or 3rd ride I noticed a small hairline crack in my top tube, just forward of the seat-post. I emailed Canyon with images. They made me cut the old frame in half and sent me a new frame free of charge. No import duty or tax. All canyon's responsibility - I was very impressed. Had the bike rebuilt and continued my riding. A couple of weeks later I noticed another crack very similar to the first - in the same place. I was devastated and contacted Canyon again and with very little questions asked they replaced my frame in a similar manner as the first time around. Again I was amazed at the service I received. Bike was rebuilt again. About a month ago I was going down Sandton Drive (A regular road on a regular route here in Johannesburg) I got into an aero-tuck as I, and everyone else does when getting to this part of our regular course. The road surface is a normal (for South Africa) tarred road. I was in the aero-tuck on the top tube half way down the descent and heard my frame crack underneath me as i went over a rougher surface of the road... Suddenly everything came together and I realised what happened to the last 2 frames! This is where my email string picks up... I am 86kg. 1.83m... (relevance to follow) Hi ***. My Canyon Aeroad frame has cracked on the top tube again! This is now the 3rd time this has happened. I was descending on the top tube this morning and I heard it crack. This is very frustrating and now the 3rd time this has happened. I understand the top tube is not as strong as the other parts of the frame but surely it should not crack? You have world tour riders on the same frame and they spend a lot of time on the top tube. I did not expect this when I bought this bicycle. It’s very disappointing. This is now the 3rd time and I am frustrated and I am starting to run out of patience with this issue. I also have to pay every time for my bike to be be stripped and rebuilt when you send a new frame. I spent a lot of money on a ‘top line’ aero bike and if I can’t optimize my aero position by sitting on the top tube when I’m descending then what’s the point? Please get back to me as soon as possible. See images attached. Regards Service Center | Canyon Bicycles GmbH via z9vvaoxyfx1jnn.0y-lcabuac.eu11.bnc.salesforce.com to meHi ***, thank you for your email. First of all I would like to apologise for our late response. Thank you also for freely admitting, that you have been sitting on your top tube whilst riding, as this is not covered under our warranty or guarantee, as this is not considered a normal use for a bicycle. Under normal riding conditions only very minor forces are led through the top tube which is why it is not designed to withstand considerably larger forces like a riders body weight. Whilst it is of course very tempting to mimic what pro riders are doing it should always be considered, that on the one hand they are usually much more experienced regarding bike handling and many do not actually sit on the top tube but rather hover over it keeping tension in the legs. Also when winning a stage nets you 11000 € risking an expensive frame in the process is usually worth it. Regarding the circumstances we can only offer you a new frame under our crash replacement program. (a small discount on a frame only) Kind regards, *** Servicecenter <>Tue 21 Aug, 10:47 (6 days ago) to ServiceHi ***,Thank you for your reply. I, however, can not accept this response. I found your email brash and somewhat offensive. If this is the way you talk to your customers and your target market then my perceptions of Canyon are way off. Firstly I am a Cat 1 rider. This is one level under a domestic pro here in South Africa. I know how to ride a bicycle. Comparing me to a pro and suggesting I have damaged my frame due to a lack of skill or knowledge is offensive. I also find it hard to believe that on long descents riders would choose take tension in his legs the whole time. But that's just my opinion and I'm not a pro so what would I know... right? I rode a Giant before this, had it for 2 years, sat on the top tube all the time and never experienced this issue. I have friends on Cannondale, Specialized, BMC, Trek (all of which make aero frames) - who descend on their top tubes and they have never had issues. I thought of Canyon to be part of the top brand manufacturers but if your bicycle frames break easily like this then I'm starting to doubt my assumptions. If you (Canyon) know the Aeroad to be so very weak in this area then why is it not communicated clearly to potential buyers? Why is there not a disclaimer upon checkout or even better a 'DO NOT SIT' sticker on the top tube? I could only imagine the drop in sales if this 'fault' in your design was communicated clearly. I spent a lot of time and energy searching for a new bicycle. I could have chosen anything but the look and 'value' of the canyon settled my choice. If this 'cracking' is par for the course with the Aeroad frame then I am really starting to regret my bike choice. On top of this I paid 30% duty and tax to bring the bike in. I could have easily bought something locally and if it was communicated to me that my top tube will break that is exactly what I would have done. Its not as easy for us in South Africa to get bikes from you than it is for people in Europe and I went through the effort and admin because I perceived your quality to be up there with the best. You referred to the fact that pro's earn 11000 euro for a stage win so breaking a frame is worth it. This seems, to me, to confirm the fact that your frames crack like this regularly. If this is the quality standard that you strive for at Canyon then this is very disappointing. I am very saddened by all of this. I loved my Aeroad, I really did. This reply from youl has left a bitter taste in my mouth and if anyone asked me my opinion about the Aeroad I would have to be honest and say; "Yeah its a nice bike but your top tube will break if you sit on it". For a direct-to-customer business model I was absolutely shocked at this response. This could really impact your sales. I ride with a huge group of people here in South Africa - a mix of pro's and amateurs, managers and directors, team owners and sponsors - they have all been through this with me and have seen the response I have received and they too have been amazed. After hearing good things from Canyon I'm sure some of them will be having second thoughts. If this top tube crack is not as regular as you have made it out to be and it is a factory fault or a carbon mold fault, then I want a new frame. If this is as regular as your email reply suggests then I am out of suggestions and dont know what to do and I'd hope that you have an answer for me. I dont want to have to go to social media and forums about this for advice. I hope to receive a reply from you in which you actually have your main target market and customers interests in mind. Regards Service Center | Canyon Bicycles GmbH via uyetr4x8vodhu.0y-lcabuac.eu17.bnc.salesforce.com to meDear ***, thank you for your email from the 21st of August 2018. We apologise, if you considered the answer from our Servicecenter as brash. It is not our intention to treat our customers rude. But as my colleagues from the Technical Support informed you already, in the present case we only can offer you our Crash Replacement Service, because such an issue is not covered under our warranty / guarantee. Since the sending of your bike for check to our Canyon workshop in Germany seems not to be a viable option for you, we can give you the addresses of two service partners in South Africa, which you can contact regarding that issue. Shop Name: John O Connor Cycles Address: 3, Aquarius Building, Rothesay Pl, Mouille Point, Cape Town, 8005, Südafrika Phone: +27 21 434 7741 Website www.joccycles.co.za/ Shop Name: BMT Bike Shop Address: Black Horse Centre, C/o Dorp and Market Street, Stellenbosch, 7600, Südafrika Phone: +27 21 887 3417 Website bmtsa.co.za/ Kind regards, *** Customer Relationship Management ______________________________________ I was absolutely shocked at their reply to my very lengthy email. They didn't answer any of my questions. I understand they would never admit that there is a problem with their frame but I fear that their silence regarding my email does just this. It seems to me that manufacturers are trying to save weight anywhere they can with these new age aero frames and they end up compromising their bikes so much that they sit on such a fine line between beneficial and detrimental I would love to hear your guys thoughts and opinions and if anyone has experienced issues like this with their Canyon or even with other bikes. Again I dont want to be scathing but If I had this information at hand when I was making a decision I most likely would not have bought the Aeroad and I hope that potential buyers would appreciate the information. Thanks for taking the time to read this post Cheers
  10. Hello everyone, I want to start riding dirt jumps, but I can't seem to find any stockists. Does anybody know of a stockist in South Africa? Few options I've looked at: Scott Voltage YZ 0.1 Specialized P.3 Canyon Stitched 360° (*) *Only available through shipping, but if someone has it for sale,I'd really like to buy it! Thanks a lot, Oscar
  11. We (and looking around the Internet, many others) spotted Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and Mathieu van der Poel riding a new Canyon cross-country bike at the Stellenbosch World Cup. Could this be a new Lux or something completely new? The most obvious change being shock position (moving from vertical to horizontal ) and what looks like space for two bottle cages. Does anyone spot anything else noteworthy or get a better look on Saturday?
  12. Hi Guys, New to the triathlon scene. I need to buy a bike and looking at triathlon specific. I have been looking around and come across Scott (out of price range), Cannondale (didn't appeal to me), Specialized Shiv (looks ok but no stock), Fuji (waiting on quote) and the Argon 18 E117. Out of the lot I prefer the Argon. This it seems will set me back about R46k for a standard set up, 105 components. I came across the Canyon thread and browsed around on their site. Falling in my budget I can get the Speedmax CF 8.0 with a landed cost of approximately R50k. On the whole better components and wheels than the Argon. This will just mean abit longer wait before my race or I just continue on the MTB for now. I know nothing about bikes and obviously am therefore worried about sizing if I go for the Canyon. What would you guys and girls suggest in this price range between the two? Or if i have overlooked any other brand? I don't mind 2nd hand either if i can get a decent bike for a good price. However if the difference is 15 - 20 k and it means the newer one will last me longer, I'm happy ( or rather prepared) to spend on new. Being new to the tri scene all the options and so on have been somewhat of a minefield and will appreciate any advise. Thanks.

  14. Morning all, Trying to see whether this man is a Hubber - gentleman on a Canyon doing his morning commute (I presume), every morning on Heidelberg Road leading into town just past fruit market. Anyone know this guy? His bike sure looks expensive. Traffic was tight this morning, hope he made it to work!
  15. Hi all, not sure if theres been a forum before regarding this issue, but im looking to purchase a Canyon Aeroad directly from Canyons warehouse in Holland, can anyone help out with how the shipping works from them, and what all the fees are? If i had to buy the frame and get it sent to a friend in Germany and have them send it to me without the slip and tags inside would i still have to pay all the fees. Ive also heard that you can send it with an airline rather than sending it through a courier company? Any help will be much appreciated.

  17. Okay, so I'm finally on the cusp of my first n+1 bike and have decided on a balls-out AM rig. I've narrowed it down to the following: 2017 Canyon Strive AL 4.0 Race2017 YT Capra AL2016/7 Radon Swoop 170 7.0 http://www.radon-bikes.de/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_899320_d441f6d2c2.jpg In short, similar bikes, but with noteable differences. In short: The Strive is the raciest of the three, with the steepest geo and shortest travel. It's also the most expensive, but is only specced with a Yari RC - the rest of the components package is good.The Capra the bare fisted brawler and has serious freeride/AM cred, but has quite conservative reach numbers and lots of folks metion sizing as a bit of an issue. It's got a Lyrik RC upfront.The Swoop 170 the new kid on the block and is the 'biggest' of all the bikes with the long reach and wheelbase numbers and packs 170mm back and front. It received a glowing review recently over on Pinkbike, but could possible be a bit of a handful on slower, tamer trails. The 2016 version also has the Lyrik RCT3/Vivid Air combo, which is Gucci level suspension. The 2017 version in ly budget range has a Yari RC/Monarch Plus RC3 combo. So, what would you go for?
  18. Anyone out there have any experience with getting a Canyon bicycle in SA. And if so how would one deal with warranty issues service etc? Seriously considering one of these as it is one of the few bikes that would properly fit me. https://www.canyon.com/en/road/ultimate/2016/ultimate-cf-sl-9-0-di2.html
  19. Canyon is a name many of us are well aware of, mostly of the fact that they're not yet available to our market. Having joined the Topeak Ergon squad in 2016, Erik Kleinhans' new steed is the XC and marathon focused Canyon Lux CF. Click here to view the article
  20. It's time for me to buy a new bike and I've got €2000 to spend, so I want some honest opinions. I've narrowed my list to the Spectral and Slide, as they fall under the €2000 mark and represent really great value. For those who don't know, Radon is a direct-sales manufacturer from Germany, similar to Canyon. Both bikes are complete overkill for the riding I'll be doing on the local trails, but I want something that will be suitable for the odd excursions in the Ardennes and Alps.

    Canyon Strive

    Hey guys So I'm going to Europe in May/June for a short trip and to do a bit of riding in Switzerland and Italy. And I was thinking of getting a bike while I was over there. Currently I race Enduro and Downhill, I'm not going for the podium, but I do aim to always improve my times and my overall position. For Enduro I ride a 26" Giant Trance 2012, it's pretty well kitted out... For Downhill I ride a Giant Glory 01, it's a 2011, fairly stock. I'm toying with the idea of selling both of these to buy a Canyon Spectral Al 6.0 Race... One of the reasons is that my trance doesn't seem to be able to cut it anymore, when I'm going really fast through bumpy stuff with the Revelation fork it just doesn't quite cut it. So I toyed with the idea of getting a Pike, but that's a 10grand fork on it's own. And i think it will be capable for downhill, cause most of the tracks in KZN aren't too gnarly, and I don't do the big jumps yet (that's the main reason). So it could possibly be faster for me in face I know a lot of people are going to say get the YT Capra, but the availability of that bike is an issue, I won't be able to get it in time. I think this Canyon Strive is definitely in the same bracket of bike... So what do you guys think about my plan? Any insight will be helpful...
