Canyon soovis ehitada ühe maailma kergema tootmishardtaili oma maailmakarika XC-sportlastele (nagu Mathieu van der Poel). Nad kasutasid Toray M40X 'unicorn hair' süsinikkiudu, et saavutada uskumatult madal 835g raamikaal ilma sprindijäikust ohverdamata. Gen 1 (2021-...): CFR (Canyon Factory Racing) taseme turuletoomine, kasutades Toray M40X süsinikkiudu, et vähendada raamikaalu 835g-ni.

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Exceptionally light, brutally stiff CFR carbon frame (~835g) with full-build weights under 9kg — instant, razor-sharp acceleration and sprinting.
Outstanding value for the spec via Canyon's direct-to-consumer pricing (premium XTR/SRAM AXS race builds well below boutique rivals).
Race-focused 100mm XC geometry and integrated cockpit deliver precise, no-excuses handling for smooth race courses.
Canyon VCLS 2.0 split flex seatpost adds genuine rear vibration damping that a normal post can't on a hardtail.

−Nõrkused

Unforgivingly rigid ride — fatigue sets in fast on long rides and traction suffers over rough terrain due to minimal compliance.
One-piece CP08 integrated carbon cockpit is non-adjustable: changing bar width or stem length requires a full bar replacement, complicating fit.
Traditional/steep 69° head angle feels nervous and dated for any descending beyond smooth XC race tracks.
Press-fit (PF92 / Race Face Pressfit Cinch) bottom bracket is fiddly and creak-prone vs threaded.
Limited 34T chainring / tyre clearance and direct-to-consumer model (no dealer fit, self-assembly, sizing risk).
