CANYON AND ZWIFT ANNOUNCE ACTION-PACKED SCHEDULE OF EVENTS IN MONTRÉAL THIS SEPTEMBER

Following their recently announced pop-up locations in Montréal, Canyon Bicycles and global online fitness platform Zwift are sharing more details about their upcoming fortnight of cycling activities.

Timed to coincide with GP Montréal and the 2026 UCI Road World Championships, the immersive program offers cycling fans a unique opportunity to ride, connect, and celebrate the sport. Canyon and Zwift will be joined by athletes and ambassadors over the two-week period including renowned crit racer and highly skilled rider Alec Briggs (pictured below left), gravel pro racer Freddy Ovett (middle), Los Angeles based rider Shreddy Pendegrass, athlete and keen cyclist Georgia Hunter-Bell, and former Zwift Academy winner Ella Harris (right).

From community ride-outs and elite watch parties to product unveilings and pub quizzes, their events will be split across two dedicated hubs: L’Arrivée for daytime activities and Siboire Saint-Laurent for evening entertainment.
