Canyon Speedmax CF 9.0 LTD (2013)

Straight out of the wind tunnel and onto the street. The Speedmax CF is the result of the most elaborate development project in Canyon’s history. Staying true to the principle “form follows function”, every minute detail on the frame is well thought out and all the components – from the fork, stem and handlebar right through to the perfectly integrated brakes – were designed entirely from scratch and perfectly matched to the bike’s range of use. The world-class frame boasts an unbeatable set of wheels which has caused furore on the pro scene. The 808 carbon clincher front wheel with its revolutionary Firecrest rim design impresses with outstanding aerodynamics as well as the best possible performance in cross-winds. The Grand Prix TT time-trial tyres from Continental also help to save those last few watts of rider power.

The 780g light full carbon disc from Lightweight demonstrates its unrivalled stiffness, top aerodynamics and outstanding acceleration on even the most demanding courses in the world. A 25mm ContinentalCompetition tyre is surely the best choice, too. 100% speed for the battle against the clock – you can always rely on the precision of the premium Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset. The new levers shift through several gears with just one click – these are the best prerequisites for the charge ahead. The Speedmax CF 9.0 LTD lives and breathes speed. Regardless of whether you are competing in a time-trial or a triathlon, there’s no other bike around that will get you to the finish as fast as the Speedmax CF 9.0 LTD.
