How much faster do you think a bike like this would make you? 🚴💨

@SBoots29 Месяц назад

I would think this would bring me up about 10K per hour. Only because of the aerodynamics and better body position. This is my untested theory.

@lgmsampaio Месяц назад

I don’t need to be convinced, I just need the money

@deanb61 Месяц назад

Accepting that cycling is never really going to be a cheap sport, there's no need to buy a brand new TT bike. Pretty much any genuine TT bike will be faster than even an expensive road bike. I bought an old second had alloy TT bike for £350. Even before I did any upgrade work it would have saved me about 30 mins on an ironman.

@musclelessfitness2045 Месяц назад

We already knew the results from previous youtube videos, but we don't know if the power was kept the same in all 3 runs. You might have conserved energy when riding the regular bike while going all out with the featured bike.

@daviduranie964 24 дня назад

Thanks for making this video mate, shame to see all the moaners in the comments. I’ve been riding the 2023 version of this bike (only difference is the stem), and have noticed a couple extra’s which haven’t been mentioned (took me a while to figure out too!). 1. Top tube snake: you can slide your chain breaker, spare links, even the tool kit that comes with the bike into the top tube snake, wedging it in with the other equipment. And a spare tube, rolled up on top of it. I dare say you could squeeze two spare tubes into it, but I’ve not tried. I’ve got no saddle bags or any other storage at all, everything fits inside the frame. You can’t do this on the more expensive models. 2. Bento box: I can fit ten gels in it. The bottom bracket box is used as a “bin“ for used gels. You can’t do this on the more expensive models. 3. Adjustability: massively underrated advantage on this bike. You can have a beginners position or completely stretch out to a pro level position. It’s easy to get very comfortable for Ironman. Again, you can’t easily get the same aerobar tilt, or BTA bottle on more expensive models.

@clairesgl8119 Месяц назад

What about the power output ??

@coachjohn Месяц назад

For safety and some aero some sunglasses...monochromatic...should be worn. Love the video and the fact you added the clip on bars to show that they are not as fast as a tt bike...and with a tri bike you will run better too.

@LSracing971 Месяц назад

I feel like canyon paid you for this video. Why don't you measure the power like usually? The Guy isn't even on an Aero position on his road bike. You don't really show if he keep a good position on his test on the road bike with bars extension. Average speed? Watts? You only concluded showing us how the canyon was good and "not that expensive"

@exploring_thailand Месяц назад

Agreed. After the first sentence of the video, you know what you're going to get. They were paid for it, that's what the "includes paid promotion" line at the top of the screen means. I wouldn't be surprised if that first sentence and the thumbnail were part of the contract.

Having amazing sponsors like Canyon is how we can continue to produce the best content possible for all our fans 🙌 We hope you could take some useful tips from this video! Anything else you would like us to do alongside Canyon?

@dre78 Месяц назад

Best content is just rehashing the same video's over and over again? You do this road bike vs tt bike every 6 months

@daviduranie964 24 дня назад

You expected them to do a wind tunnel analysis on a bike just to do a 7 minute video of a bike they lent a bloke? Do it yourself and report back.

@deanb61 Месяц назад

The difference for me was huge. Once I got used to it (couple of weeks), and got a decent bike fit (Matt Bottrill), we're talking 5kph for the same power over my Giant Defy endurance road bike.

@stpOwner Месяц назад

I have a defy, did you have race wjeels and aerobars on the defy or was it just standard?

@deanb61 Месяц назад

@stpOwner I'm comparing a standard carbon/ultegra Defy, no aerobars, to a fairly cheap second hand TT bike with 40cm deep section wheels.

@gtn Месяц назад

That's so cool! 🙌 Would you ever go back to a road bike for triathlon?

@deanb61 Месяц назад

@@gtn Probably not. I did a few sprints early on, but now I've settled into the longer distance races which I think suit us older people more (62). Barcelona Ironman, last year (final finisher), and this year (hope to beat that). It's pretty flat, well suited to a TT bike. Possibly do Valencia half next year, still on the TT bike.

@wynchesster Месяц назад

in August 2023 I bought the current Speedmax CF7-disc, their lowest end Speedmax. A month after I bought it, I competed in a 70.3 that I had done before on my road bike. I was 15-minutes faster. I was very well prepared for the race and my training leading up to the race was perfect, so that also played it's part, but what I can't argue with is with my average speed. I only got to ride it about 10 times before my race, and I road it on all my favorite routes, climbs and straights. I was smashing Strava PR's on every ride that I had on my road bike. I averaged 20.5mph during the 70.3. I have never averaged better than 19 mph on my road bike on a course that long.

@edwarding4355 Месяц назад

The problem with this sport is that entry level bikes are costing more and more and aero marketing is making people think they nee at least a md range one. Young people without rich parents can't enter the sport until.they establish themselves in a career.

@bikeybrian Месяц назад

I have been trying to get comfortable on the TT bike. After 2 + hours on the TT I find I become less comfortable and start spending a bit more time on the bull horns instead of the aero position. You commonly see this in the second half of an IM. Many people riding Triathlon bikes in a non aero position. We are not all limber serious athletes. It would be interesting to see how Triathlon Bike in non aero V road bike, and is there a level at how much time you need to spend in the aero position before it starts been counter productive.

@calvinh208 Месяц назад

That bike is stunning and would probably gain me a couple minutes in placebo confidence alone! That being said, I'm too tall (6'6") for any used bike options and family and medical financial priorities mean I'm stuck with my 12 year old motobecane carbon internet special 😬🤦. I have a half ironman coming in Sept. Could you do a video of the best bang for your buck add ons and accessories like aero bars, socks, helmets, bottom bracket, chain, etc.? I'll just continue dreaming of a canyon aero bike for now and grind away at V02 max gains!

@olivergrffiths5694 26 дней назад

@timwe8044 Месяц назад

I bought my first road bike, 2 weeks after I put some aero bars on it and after that I wanted a tri bike, even I dont di triathlon at the moment, just want it to be faster and more comfortable bcs I really enjoy the position on the aero bars the most

@gtn Месяц назад

That's awesome! It's a slippery slope though 👀 You'll be entering triathlons before you know it 🤣

@Palkovasko Месяц назад

I am actually trying to purchase either the CF 7 or CF 7 AXE. Not sure if the extra money is worth for electronic shifting only. Saying that, I do hate the cables sticking out on the CF model. I am also considering the Giant Trinity. Any thoughts?

@Choedron Месяц назад

17 min if you are in the lower 50% of participants makes little sense compared to price. Granted you can get cheaper triathlons bikes than the expensive Canyon. Love the Canyon though. Would love to see how much each minute improvement costs. Wish Canyon would sell it as a frame set, so you can utterly customize it.

@BrianBrehart Месяц назад

So is this only available in the UK/Europe? Because there's only one option here in the States (the CF 7) and it's sold out. The AXS is not available as a selection at all.

You would expect that with a proper bike fit rather than the default set up and time spent in the aero position that his time would get faster than the one posted in the video. This would be the case on the cheaper version of the bike (or any other TT bike too).

It’s all well and good showing us that you can buy speed with an aerobic. Please do a video where you put yourselves in the shoes of 90% of the people who watch your videos and buy a second hand aero bike (off something like Facebook marketplace). Let us know what to look for and what to avoid. What would be a good deal etc… and then compare to a bike like this and compare how much the extra money buys you.

Hey GTN, can you make a comparison of the Speedmax CF 7 with one of your Speedmax CFRs? How much time difference can you buy with the fully kitted Speedmax CFRs? And could you match it against Ollies TT-Bike on a budget (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sOmLV0EVv_4.html) or against Belindas Bike (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-saGwndgPRnY.html) Is the CF 7 really a superbike on a budget or is it just a expensive gateway drug?
