Speedmax
Izcelsme
Speedmax ir Canyon specializētā triatlona un individuālā brauciena platforma, kas tika laista klajā 2015. gadā un uzreiz guva panākumus: Jans Frodeno ar to uzvarēja Kona sacensībās 2015. un 2016. gadā, bet 2016. gadā Challenge Roth sacensībās ar Speedmax CFR uzstādīja tālsatiksmes pasaules rekordu 7:35:39, kas vēlāk tika atjaunināts 2021. gada Tri-Battle Royale. Platforma pēdējās desmitgades laikā ir izcīnījusi astoņus Ironman pasaules čempionātus starp Frodeno un Patriku Langi. Disku bremžu Speedmax Disc tika laists klajā 2021. gadā, bet pašreizējā CFR Moonshot paaudze ieviesa Frodeno paraksta konstrukciju ar integrētu hidratāciju, modulāru vadības paneli ar 25 mm sasniedzamību un 5–22,5° leņķa regulēšanu, kā arī 6 gadu garantiju. Tas ir īpaši izstrādāts garo distanču triatlonam un individuālajam braucienam, nevis šosejas velosipēds ar piestiprinātiem aerostūres stieņiem.
Specifikācijas
- Rāmis
- Monocoque carbon fibre, three layups: CF (entry), CF SLX (mid), CFR (flagship, ~1,440 g frame). Non-UCI aero tube profiles with frame-integrated hydration and storage. Disc-brake only since the 2021 generation.
- Svars
- kg
- Transmisija
- Shimano 105 Di2 / Ultegra Di2 / Dura-Ace Di2, or SRAM Force eTap AXS / RED AXS — all electronic, in 1x or 2x setups, often with dual- or single-sided power meters. CFR builds run Dura-Ace Di2 or RED/Force eTap AXS.
- Bremzes
- Hydraulic disc brakes across the current range (rim brakes dropped with the 2021 redesign); Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra or SRAM RED/Force hydraulic discs depending on groupset.
- Riteņi
- Deep-section carbon aero wheels by build: HED Vanquish V62/V62 Pro on CF SLX/CFR Vanquish builds, DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut (db 80) on CFR Di2, Zipp 858 NSW on some AXS builds.
Verdikts
- Among the fastest production tri bikes — Canyon claims 9–10 W saved at 45 km/h over the predecessor, validated across 456 CFD and 97 wind-tunnel runs.
- Best-in-class on-bike integration: frame-built 750 ml hydration bladder, bento box and an aero toolbox in the bottom bracket, all UCI-illegal but ideal for self-supported long-course racing.
- Highly adjustable mono-riser cockpit (armrest 0–110 mm, extension tilt and reach range) makes dialing in an aggressive aero fit far easier than on most rivals.
- Proven at the top level — multiple Ironman World Championship and long-distance world-record wins under Frodeno and Lange.
- Strong value: direct-to-consumer pricing puts Dura-Ace/RED + deep carbon wheel builds well under comparable Specialized/Cervélo bikes.
- Single-purpose: useless as a road/group-ride bike — steep TT geometry and aero-position fit make it uncomfortable and twitchy outside flat solo efforts.
- Integrated cockpit and proprietary parts make fit changes, travel packing and component swaps fiddly and time-consuming.
- Heavy (~9.1–9.4 kg) and not built for climbing or punchy terrain.
- Direct-sales model means self-assembly and remote-only fitting — getting the aggressive position right without a fitter is hard for newcomers.
- Non-UCI-legal storage/tube profiles mean it cannot be used in UCI-sanctioned time trials, only triathlon/non-UCI events.
