Canyon Aeroad - Read if you planning on purchasing one

[thisismyotherbike]

Why stop there, axle handles for extreme aero.

 

Top tube saddles?

[SwissVan]

Nah

How many seconds will it save...

Compared to how much time you could loose when you have to crawl around looking for your front teeth

10/10 maxillofacial surgeons recommend the super tuck.

GCN - they wouldn't understand science if it was introduced to them by Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse and Brian Cox.

My best guess is they're core strentgh somehow lets them rest their bodies more while being so low 

 

I just find it stupid to put yourself in A position with that little control 

 

For them it might just be risk vs rewards, they have higher appetite for taking those risks, backing their skill level.  The same as some people think it is ok to drive at 160km/h+ on the highway and others only 130km/h

They're also paid to take those risks

Mystery solved! Now we know why Zakarin from Katusha is so bad on the downhill and does not go into a tuck... His frame will break...

Not being facetious here, but I tried the hands adjacent to each other over the crown this morning and my descents were definitely faster and power output lasted somewhat longer. This is going to be fun!

 

should probably add it was on the mtb

On the road?

[gummibear]

Not Aeroad related but Canyon related.

 

I had an issue with a 10 month old Fox fork and Canyon replaced it under warranty.Just cost me the labor and some grease to fit.It was a good experience dealing with Canyon throughout the claim

I've tried this on my MTB on the road into a strong south easter.  It definitely helps the aero, but the loss of control is huge.  For me I wouldn't ever try this anywhere but on the flat back road I was on doing my 13km/h into the wind. 

At least with an aero tuck on the road bike your hands are still on the controls.

It would be funny if Canyon tells us the Ultimate is the model where you are allowed to sit on the top tube and the Aeroad is not.

 

I wasn't serious about Zakarin, just remebered him getting stick on the forum for sitting up on the downhill. Might be demons from his 2016 crash.

he's a notoriously bad descender. IIRC he had eyesight problems too. can't have been much fun for him. and then to have that bad crash on the Giro stage.
