- From Track to Road, Time Trial, Triathlon and Cross Country, Canyon riders are primed for performance

Within cycling there are those annual blue riband opportunities to win a Grand Tour stage, a Classic one-day race, a World Cup round, or even a World Championship – and quite rightly they are the pinnacle of most riders’ careers – but every four years a race comes around that is so difficult and so prestigious to win that it will sit atop of everything else on a rider’s palmares.
With the sporting world’s attention centring on Paris this July and August, Canyon has announced which of its riders are scheduled to be racing, and which bikes they are riding.
Opening proceedings on the first weekend (27/07) will be the men’s and women’s time trial where Canyon’s Speedmax CFR time trial bike will be employed. With a meticulously simulated and sculpted frame thanks to super-computer and wind tunnel analysis from aerodynamics experts Swiss Side, the Speedmax CFR deliversperformance worthy of champions, such as CANYON//SRAM Racing’s Chloe Dygert (USA) and Alpecin-Fenix rider Christina Schweinberger (AUT) who will be challenging for medals.
Cross-country mountain bike racing also begins on that opening weekend. Canyon CLLCTV riders Luca Schwarzbauer (DE), Loana Lecomte (FR), and Adair Prieto (MX) as well as Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Sam Gaze (NZ) and Alpecin-Fenix rider Puck Pieterse (NL) will ride the full suspension Lux World Cup CFR.
The Lux World Cup has one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames on the market, meaning it climbs like a dream, yet its geometry and shock tuning allows it to rip descents with confidence-inspiring control too. Meanwhile the Exceed is a no-frills race machine intent of providing the maximum efficiency with minimum weight.
Into the first week the men’s and women’s triathlon will see Tim Hellwig (DE) and Hayden Wilde (NZ) challenging for medal places on the Aeroad CFR. They’ll also be back in action on Monday 5th August for the mixed triathlon relay. With the allowance of bunch riding, for safety reasons riders must choose the road racing cockpits, as found on the Aeroad, rather than the TT-cockpits, such as that used on the Speedmax.
The second weekend brings an endurance spectacle in the shape of the Road races. The men’s race will feature medal prospects including Mathieu Van der Poel, Alpecin-Deceuninck (NL) and Oier Lazkano, Movistar (ES) while the women’s race will see Chloe Dygert (US), Christina Schweinberger (AU), Kasia Niewiadoma (PL), Ricarda Bauernfeind (DE), Liane Lippert (DE) aiming for glory. Both male and female riders will use Canyon’s Aeroad CFR, perfect for such a course with its claim as one of the most aerodynamic and most winningest bikes in the peloton.
Wrapping up the cycling events will be the track cycling. Released last year, Canyon’s Speedmax Track CFR bike is the embodiment of innovation, speed and performance. Two years of intensive development with 442 supercomputer runs, 312 wind tunnel analyses, and 155 hours of track testing time with Canyon’s world-class engineers and the fastest professionals in the sport resulted in the fastest bike Canyon has ever produced.
Team Denmark’s Niklas Larsen, Tobias Hansen, Michael Morkov, Amalie Dideriksen and Julie Leth, Team Belgium’s Fabio van den Bossche and Robbie Ghys, and Team USA’s Chloe Dygert will be on the boards aboard the Speedmax Track CFR.
