Embargoed until 11:00 CEST, 26th July 2024: In the city of light this summer, we may well witness light speed performances. The whir of a thousand photographers’ lenses will capture the high-speed motion, the blur of colour and the incredible performances from the world’s best athletes. Whilst the speed of light - 1,078,553,020 km/hr or Mach 874,030 – is far beyond the realms of possibility in cycling, Canyon is taking this concept into the naming of the bikes designed for its athletes in one of the biggest races of their careers.
Canyon’s MACH874 artwork plays on the city of light theme with a prism colourway to let its athletes shine in their own colours.
Selected Canyon atletes will ride in a version customized to their own national flags, celebrating their unique identity on the global stage.
From Track to Road, Time Trial, Triathlon and Cross Country events, Canyon’s Aeroad, Speedmax, Speedmax Track, Lux World Cup and Exceed CFR models will all feature the MACH874 design to inspire its athletes towards world-beating performances.
- Lux World Cup CFR frames, one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames on the market, for climbing like a dream and the geometry to rip descents with confidence-inspiring control, destined for Loana Lecomte (FR), Sam Gaze (NZ), and Luca Schwarzbauer (DE).
- Freshly released Aeroad CFR frames, proven to be one of the fastest frames in the peloton, well suited to the ambitions of Hayden Wilde (NZ) and Mathieu van der Poel (NL).
- Released last year, Canyon’s Speedmax Track CFR bike is the embodiment of innovation, speed and performance, perfect for Chloe Dygert (US) and Team Denmark's track ambitions.
- With a meticulously simulated and sculpted Speedmax TT CFR frame thanks to wind tunnel analysis from aerodynamics experts at Swiss Side, Christina Schweinburger (AUT) will be aiming for glory in the race of truth.
