Guys, I did not ride Ironman last year, had to refocus on finishing Cape Epic 2021 last year. But I am happy to report that one year later than planned I finished my first full Ironman @ Challenge Almere clocking 5 hours 20 minutes on the bike section with really strong Cat 3 headwind on the main segment (total time 11:16). HSF Aeria worked like a charm! I drank 2.5 liters out of it, dumping all bottles into it. I drank Maurten Drink Mix 320, which basically supplies you with all the food you need. It was quite satisfying to overtake a couple of dozens Speedmax CF SLX and S-Works Shiv on the way. The engine still matters after all =)
@@azamatismailov1438Thankyou! Great effort👍 Didnt expect that much wattages with that time though. Read people doing about 180 watts to reach about 32km/h

Hi Chad, enjoy! About the hydration - if you read comments below, you will see that officially Profile Design do not seem to approve the use of their faceplate on the Canyon handlebar claiming some sort of incompatibility. In reality, this is seems to be the legal rather than real reasons. My faceplate holds the handlebar with no issues with thousands of km ridden. It does fit quite tight - you will need to move the aerobars to the widest position possible.
Hi, i believe you live here in the NL? So do i. How is riding a triathlon bike in the (smaller) villages here? Just have a normal but old road bike atm and might whant to buy this one in stead for triathlon. Thanks!
I have done Tri Amsterdam a week and a half ago. This was in Amsterdam towards Ouderkerk and back - two laps with lots of turns and lots of bumpy roads with tiles, speed bumps, etc. Still managed to clock 38 kph avg speed on this bike. You have to get used to handle it of course, but for me it's still worth it, because on any straight you win a lot of time vs. normal roadbike - especially against the wind.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have the Canyon Speedmax CF 8 Disc bike, does the hydration system fit on this bike? And in case you need to buy an adapter, do you sell it separately or does it come in the same hydration system?
I did buy that same bike….. just thought I’d check in with how the front hydration system is going for you. Still good? Which stem adapter did you buy to mount it? Thanks!

I think they do that for some legal reasons. It worked for me and I never issue with it, riding for several thousand km now, including full Ironman. For €20 it's worth trying)

Hi, thanks! I am 182 cm. The size of my bike is M and that was something that Canyon determined themselves when they took my measurements in their showroom in Koblenz. so I guess that is pretty reliable =). Honestly, I wish the handlebar was positioned even lower (like in SLX or CFR) to have more freedom to choose the position, but ok, I can live with the current one. I know a lot of people that are quite tall prefer smaller sizes. Lionel Sanders is 178 cm and his Speedmax is S! Good luck! The bike is insanely fast, I have to say.
I have a question for the aerial system. How to install those "small thing" under the stem? I dont see any hole for the bolt in the canyon original stem

Yes, you're right. Always better to go for a smaller frame in case of doubt - this will give you more ability to adjust your position. I actually think I (182 cm) would have been better off with frame S, as I could more aerodynamic position. Still, as ever, it is best to consult Canyon. I have done my measurements at their showroom in Koblenz, which is quite to visit anyway.
