Review: Canyon Sender CFR

Mar 2021 · Drew Rohde

Overall, the Canyon Sender CFR is a highlight in my decade of testing bikes. Few bikes have made an impression in the way this bike has.

  • Makes us feel invincible

  • It’s not a play bike

  • Takes some extra effort to get around flatter, tight terrain at lower speeds

  • SRAM Code brakes don’t last

After about two years of R&D led by the same engineer who created the first Sender model in 2016, making use of the constant interaction with the World Cup athletes and mechanics, today the Koblenz brand presents the brand new Sender CFR.
