I found it faster than both the Trek SpeedConcept and the Giant Trinity that I tested for some time.
Cyclist logoCyclist
The Canyon really does deliver on nearly every point that matters, but I have one criticism. Long crank arms may be in fashion for some, but they can make getting into a low position difficult.
