And sure enough, the Speedmax CF shows off its value in price (you can see how it compares above) and that it, alone among the bikes so-far reviewed, actually specs a 105 crankset as part of the 105 kit. You would assume you get more for your money because Canyon cuts out the middleman (your LBS). These are all Shimano 105 bikes and so is the Speedmax CF. I’ll reference back to the other bikes I’ve reviewed in this class, the Quintana Roo PRthree ($2,599), Cervelo P2 ($2,800) and the Felt IA16 ($2,999). The Speedmax CF 7.0 is an example of this. I’ll tell you what they are.Ĭanyon is the first direct seller (manufacturer to the consumer) of high quality bikes to successfully navigate the entire bike making process from design, testing, building proprietary molds and products, all the way to the consumer. Talented family! I don’t see them often enough. He’s one of the true gentlemen in the business, and it’s been my pleasure to know both Roman and his brother Franc, who is the founder of Ergon (this brand's grips are on the Speedmax). ![]() He and I have known each other for going on 30 years. I’ve done a lot of business with the founder and owner of Canyon, Roman Arnold. The bikes in this category are among the most efficient values (not the least expensive, but the sweet spot in tech versus price). ![]() These are tri bikes aboard which you could win the Hawaiian Ironman with a little sprucing. Today I’m writing about the Speedmax CF 7.0 as part of our series on Entry Level Plus tri bikes. We will be doing an in-depth review of both the Speexmax SLX and its little brother the Speedmax CF, very soon.When we poll Slowtwitchers, Canyon is the brand of tri bike that generates the most intrigue. So if you are going for the Speedmax SLX, you'll want to be dead sure you can hit your fit coordinates, and won't be needing to go higher.Ĭheck out the gallery below for lots of shots of this new cockpit. The bad news is that 1) this setup is ONLY available for new bikes, there will not be an upgrade kit for old customers of the Speedmax SLX, and 2) that the adjustment range is somewhat limited, going from 0 to 55mm of stack, less than half the height of many other adjustable aerobar systems. And there is a cup mount that offers another 10mm of stack height. It offers 55mm of stack adjustability - the extension clamps can be on top of the 45mm of available spacers, on the bottom of that stack, or anywhere in-between. It even offers tilt, although you have to choose between exactly 0 degrees or exactly 7 degrees of tilt. The good news is that the new setup is beautiful, does offer some adjustability, and really makes the bike shine. It snaps together in two main parts, and holds about 720ml of liquid, about the same as one large bottle. The new bottle is made in-house by Canyon, who is no longer partnering with Profile Design on the setup. ![]() The new setup also uses a new base bar with a very deep, tri-specific (UCI-illegal) airfoil. And although the whole system appears to be just one airfoil rising up, it's actually several parts: two sets of risers spaced closely together, and a two-part bottle that sandwiches between them. Canyon has just unveiled a new cockpit for their high-end Speedmax SLX which finally brings to production the monoloc prototypes we've seen on Jan Frodeno and Patrick Lange's bikes over the last couple of years. ![]()
