News bot Posted October 6, 2020 Share Press ReleaseIn 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 6, 2020 Share I’m not that into road bikes but I can appreciate a piece of art when I see it. Super clean lines. Some good innovation there on the cockpit. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted October 6, 2020 Share Nicely done Canyon, superb looking bike! Let's hope they reinforced the top tube... *Edit: great detailing with the handlebar design - especially for travelling, as well as for adjustment purposes RustyHWR, MDJ and Pure Savage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon55 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Good looking bike, but I can't believe they brag about the 7.26kg best spec model (let's assume around 7.4kg with pedals and all). This is for a $8000 bike LOL! The best part is they use Van Der Poel to market this. Who actually thinks if he had a choice that van der Poel would choose this mamil tech over a 6.9kg older rim version.

Current marketing: Aero + Disc is more importanter than weight. In reality, very few of the pro bikes are actually on the 6.8kg limit.

That's the marketing in 2020 for ya Pogacar and Roglic both had 6.8kg bikes for this years tour. They were lucky as their teams went with performance > marketing.

CrankShaft Posted October 6, 2020 Share Has anyone sat on the top tubes yet to see if they crack? ???? I would be embarrassed to market a 7.5kg bike for that money when things like the tarmac sl7 exist Jon55, Dwaine, Pure Savage and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight is just one metric to measure a bike. Yes, an easy one to measure and compare so people obsess over it but sheds little light on the speed of a bike. In MvdPs case, he's not going for GC in mountainous grand tours (yet). He's fighting in breakaways or sprinting. Aero is king for this racing. When he feels the need, I'm sure he can just reach for his Canyon climbing bike without upsetting the sponsors.

'Dale Posted October 6, 2020 Share Canyon has had at least a 30% growth in sales for the 2019-2020 financial year, if my memory serves me corrrectly. This is incredible considering what the global marketplace is going through. The brand is working on further expansion strategies. Ze Germans know how to engineer.
