Summary
The Canyon Inflite is a highly regarded cyclocross bike, praised for its comfortable yet fast performance on 'cross-specific terrain, excellent handling, and impressive value. It features a lightweight and stiff frame, good mud clearance, and a distinctive top tube design for easier shouldering. While it excels in racing and adventure rides, some riders note sizing issues and a higher bottom bracket as minor drawbacks.

Exciting to race
Handles ably on 'cross courses
Lightweight and stiff frame
Good mud clearance

Size medium test bike was too big for a 5'10" rider
Higher bottom bracket makes hop into the saddle slightly higher
The wonky top tube just doesn't do it for my classic tastes

I’m amazed at its composure, especially when I’m on the ragged edge of skill and fitness!
Cycling WeeklyCanyon is not interested in making a cyclocross bike to have people swooning over its press release. It wanted a bike that wins races and does everything possible to make this easier for the rider.
