I wish you were my coach, Mark. You have a really exuberant mind that is really skilled to explain sports related subjects. In short, you are a genius!
Smartest designed bike ever! The new solutions are many levels up from other brands. And it looks amazing. I'm buying the cf8 with disk and di2 though because it's slightly cheaper but will still have a good second hand price.
Not at upwards of €10.000,-. New frame compared to my Chinese Miracle frame build (total cost €1.175,-), is in the region of 10 Watts. At the speeds I’m travelling that’s no more than 20-40 seconds over 40km, Olympic distance I’m doing this year. I’d rather save up for an extra car/holidays/training camp with the family in the tropics, etc.
Get the Speedplay! They remind me of my double sided BMX pedals I used to race with, You can move your food around, they are easy to clip into, they last a long time, and they are easy to walk on.
Daughter runs speedplay, super easy clip in, need to clean and lube monthly a full ten minute job, more float than most pedals can take a bit of getting used too
Absolutely awesome bike extremely quick but I was wondering as of 1st January 2021 the UCI have relaxed their frame restrictions from 1:3 ratios to 1:8 ratio so doe that mean this now the CFR Speedmax is now UCI compliant for doing time trials could you clarify this for me. Many thanks
The bit that you push down actually protrudes around the side of the nozzle. So the nozzle itself doesn’t actually touch anything. It’s actually the cap that makes contact
I've been trying to determine how big the built in bento box is. I see pictures with gels sticking out at odd angles to show "you can fit three gel packs," but that doesn't tell much. I prefer cliff bloks to gels. Could you fit three packs of cliff bloks in there?
Would love to hear more about Mark's experience with the ride. Why did he choose Shimano vs Sram? Why didn't he go with the larger arm rest pads? Is the answer it's what Canyon gave me or did you make any personal choices around the build? Here in Australia orders are being taken for an October delivery date
@@markthrelfall3577 I guess for viewers it would be good to do it more as a review rather than an advert... Is it worth the insane pricing customers have to pay? Is it really any better/worth the upgrade over the previous model? Is it worth the wait that customers will have to wait to get one? 6+ months Can we the buyers pay these large amounts without never even seeing one? It would be nice to come more from the customers/buyers perspective rather than the businesses/canyons/sellers perspective
@@michaelkennedy9064 Is it worth to buy a Mercedes Benz or a Jaguar? Shouldn’t we all drive a Dacia? Those questions are (sorry) stupid. Canyon needed 3 years to invent tis bike and it is game changing as the other speedmax were in the past. This is not a bike for everybody and canyon does surely not expect to sell millions of them. Somehow the costs have to be returned and this happens within the price. However it would be great to see a full review of the bike.
@@misanthropos5553 While I would love to hear your thoughts on how this is a game changer the bigger question is how do these costs that you speak of get covered if they don't have any stock to sell. You do know they don't have any stock to sell? I spoke to Canyon and they said they don't know when they will have any.
@@markthrelfall3577 Hi Mark, it would be great to hear how you managed to get the hydration straw the exact length to fit so nicely on to the side of the Garmin mount?
Isn't Shimano due for an update of that crank soon? Not a big deal but frame magnets in 2021? No Bluetooth etc etc. Anyone heard any rumour of an update soon?
I love the speedplay aero pedals. However they do require a little more maintnance. It's also easier too move around OFF the bike with the cleats ;-) And personally i struggle with some kneepains from now and then.. So the extra float i get with my feets, helps me prevent any ITB-related problems on the bike.
Hey Mark nice bike and awesome review...QQ You mentioned your hight is 6'1"...what is your inseam if you don't mind?.. I am at the same hight and just over 34" inseam..,.Basically at the upper edge of Medium like yourself and was thinking to order CF SLX Large frame...now that you mentioned your bike is Medium, makes me rethink lol...Thx!
Alex, I’m in the exact same boat. Have you decided between the L and M? Canyon’s online fit calculator literally tells me I’m between the Med and Large frame too. I’m 6’1” with a 35.25” inseam. I can’t decide …
And it's only 11 Grand! Lovely bit of kit but mad money outside of sponsored rides Do you have many events in the diary this year with it? Im at Outlaw Half in May and IMUK in July and looking forward to seeing these up close
Speedplays Zeros are so much better you won’t look back. The positive lock they have on the shoe allows you to pull up with much more power than the Looks and they don’t accidentally disengage as easily due to cleat wear. Also cleat wear doesn’t really effect their consistency and float. I have them on all my bikes.
How I would love to ride one of those bikes just for one day, but it literally costs more than 1 1/2 years of rent for me 😂 But beautiful none the less. 😍
Funny is, I am 5/6 with 28.5 inseam and when I went to canyon web and put my measurements the message is they don’t have a bike fit my body!!! Weird!! I didn’t think My body was that much different!
Cleaning the hydration pack is going to be a tedious process. If it isn't rinsed out well enough, you'll surely have something nasty growing inside. Let's not kid ourselves, no triathlete is going to put just water in it like recommended by Canyon. They should have incorporated a hatch like what is on some Nathan hydration packs where it provides a good seal during normal use, but allows it to be flayed out for cleaning after a ride with product mixed in. Also curious why the Di2 model isn't being offered in the United States, only the SRAM model. I've never ridden SRAM before, so I googled it. Not going to lie, Mollema has me a bit worried about it's reliability. Can't wait to drop an order in though once Canyon's supply chain catches up!
@@alexbojanic7363 Yeah, thinking it won't be a big deal. Still would prefer charging one battery though, over charging two and replacing coin cells periodically.
That moment when you finally get your speedmax, and are looking up where the hose magnet is supposed to attach to carbon aero bars, and you start reading comments, and think - oh man this guy is absolutely right! Only to realize it was your own comment from over a year ago 😂. First fill of the bladder was definitely not just water, and cleaning it will be a pain, but it seems to be ok for now…
Prefer speedplay...double sided entry....very easy,just press your shoes in...even while youre pedalin,no slippin,not like other pedal,you cannot pedal while you clip in & no need to slide in front end first.... save your time in transition.....👍
No thanks Trek Speed Concept ! No disc brakes needed in Triathlon. Road and MTN bikes for sure. Also not a fan of the hydration system. Cleaning it would be an arduous process.
@@MJarthur95 Maybe so. I am just not a fan. In the multiple IRONMAN races that I have completed (including IM Boulder) I don’t see the need personally. It most certainly could be a good fit for others. I will keep my Trek Speed concept 9.9 as It is a Rocket. Onward we roll 2021
is there a reason why you dont try to imitate the track or tt position? they say its supposed to be fastest. also you guys have slacker or no rules when it comes to bike set ups right?
Dear GTN, please can you show us how to fit the hydration pack? Canyon’s video on the subject misses out the key step of fitting the hydration pack into the spacer that comes with the bike by default. The hydration packs also don’t include detailed instructions. This is disappointing for a very expensive bike. As someone who has recently bought one this has left a nasty taste in my mouth and is unfortunately typical of the Canyon experience - good products, lousy customer service.
Speed play pedals rust badly, not the pedals themselves but the clips on the shoes. I now have a decent size rust stain on my floor thanks to them... don’t get them if you plan on using them on a trainer
What do you think? 🔥
Beautiful
Game changing bike. This will create alot of change from other bike makers in next couple of years
Nothing beats new bike day !
Looks great, can I have the old one please ?
@@gourami7 There might be a queue on that one...👀
Can we get the p5x back? 😃
I wish you were my coach, Mark. You have a really exuberant mind that is really skilled to explain sports related subjects. In short, you are a genius!
I am absolutely in love with this bike
If you put on the 55-42 chainring you can fit up to an 11-36 cassette on your rear wheel to balance out
What a beast of a bike !
Smartest designed bike ever! The new solutions are many levels up from other brands. And it looks amazing.
I'm buying the cf8 with disk and di2 though because it's slightly cheaper but will still have a good second hand price.
the second I saw this bike I was in love with it. hit the like if you were too.

This literally reminds me a cool jet fighter!
What about mold build up in the hydration system? Great video!
Love it, thanks for the bike tour!
Get the Speedplay! They remind me of my double sided BMX pedals I used to race with, You can move your food around, they are easy to clip into, they last a long time, and they are easy to walk on.
When’s the next Speedmax coming out? Last version is 2020. Has been 3 or so years now should be due soon!!
What happens to your old bikes?? I must say... I’m pushing towards the Canyon bikes!! 🥰🥰🥰
Dint mark buy a canyon SLX just prior to his norseman? If only I could change/add such bikes to my garage like him😆
Great bike! I hope to see you race it soon
Daughter runs speedplay, super easy clip in, need to clean and lube monthly a full ten minute job, more float than most pedals can take a bit of getting used too

When you depress the hydration valve with the bottle nozzle to open it, doesn’t it push the bottle nozzle closed?
I was thinking the same thing
by the looks of it, The part that is depressing is a little ridge that will go around the nozzle therefore keeping it open :)
The bit that you push down actually protrudes around the side of the nozzle. So the nozzle itself doesn’t actually touch anything. It’s actually the cap that makes contact
Fantastic looking bike!! Looks fast too!! Best of winning look with it Mark!! Why dont you go with the look aero pedals??
I've been trying to determine how big the built in bento box is. I see pictures with gels sticking out at odd angles to show "you can fit three gel packs," but that doesn't tell much. I prefer cliff bloks to gels. Could you fit three packs of cliff bloks in there?
i would say no..it is more than obvious just looking at the box
Great review very helpful.
How do you clean the hydration system
Would love to hear more about Mark's experience with the ride.
Why did he choose Shimano vs Sram?
Why didn't he go with the larger arm rest pads?
Is the answer it's what Canyon gave me or did you make any personal choices around the build? Here in Australia orders are being taken for an October delivery date
Partly, this is what I was given, and I’m incredibly fortunate and happy to have that. I would love to try the larger arm rests though

This channel is hilarious. One day: how to run a sub 1 hour 10k, the next day: here is a look at my £11,000+ tri bike.
Awesome vid Mark.. how tall are you and what size bike it that? Just curious as I’m 6:1 really long limbs 😂 wondering if it’s M or L (54/56)?
Orderd the slx di2, and jest woder if its come with the elite bottle and the tri? Coz i order it separately with the bike
Wow 🤩 amazing bike 🚀
Is it possible to have two bottles on the holder behind the seat?
What is the speed at 300 Watts and What is your speed on a ultimate or endurace at 300 watts. In other words what is the actual Watt savings at 40 kmh
Speedplay all the way .... moved over ages ago .... never looked back.
Waiting nice 1 year to get the Speedmax CFR Disc Etap
Isn't Shimano due for an update of that crank soon? Not a big deal but frame magnets in 2021? No Bluetooth etc etc. Anyone heard any rumour of an update soon?
Any information about whether it's more aero with the two bottles than without?

I have a plan to buy the exact model, is that any problem until this point?
why didnt u choose they L Frame size, there u got 750ml waterhydration?
Might get one!! Speed play is good enough for Alex Dowsett it’s good enough for you?
how does it ride, handle vibrations, transfer power?
And it's only 11 Grand! Lovely bit of kit but mad money outside of sponsored rides
Do you have many events in the diary this year with it? Im at Outlaw Half in May and IMUK in July and looking forward to seeing these up close
And Canyons cheaper Soeedmax has got a lot more expensive as well
Somehow I don't think we'll be seeing many on the outlet site at £500 off..

How can the hydration system be cleaned? Can the bladder be removed/replaced?
Yes all can be removed very easily from the top

What is the diameter of the tires?
How much did that cost you? Or did Canyon give it to you?
Nice bike
Think the disc breaks are slowing all TT bikes at this stage.
Can you fit a rear disk to it?
What weight is a bike?
Still want to hear him compare this and the Felt =P

Convert your measurements to metric and try again. It is a bug in their website. I had the same issue.
@@perevodchik I did !
@@perevodchik its actually wired..i thought it is a bug but realized when CM is underlined, you suppose to enter inches and vice versa...lol...

just use hydration pack cleaning tablet..have been using them for other kind of packs..they work great...

I honestly don't understand why everyone doesn't ride speedplays - dual sided clipping is so much easier

Fancy doing an insurance job on that Mark? Leave the shed open and I’ll take care of the rest 😉
You fail to answer the most important question, how much faster is it?
Agree its a great bike, but, they never have them in stock to purchase.

If only I could spare £10k for a new bike 😁
My way of thinking is if I have £35,000 to put towards a car I’m going to buy a £25,000 car and a £10,000 bike
Only buy the bike and save the 25k for something more useful than a car 😉
No thanks Trek Speed Concept ! No disc brakes needed in Triathlon. Road and MTN bikes for sure. Also not a fan of the hydration system. Cleaning it would be an arduous process.
