A bike that doubles as a road and gravel bike is called a gravel bike.
neither here nor on the actual video are there any links to said bike.
great marketing – poor excecution
Where back to pre Covid prices at last! I may well get one, I have a propel, but want a bike for cycling to shops and with kids on gravel paths etc. seems perfect
Well already have an all terrain bike, a MTB, it can take any terrain I can take.
Ok. It is the price for an alloy bike with basic components. If you want to go up with tech and down with weight, you still reach outrageous prices.
Itโs an improvement, but I remember my first bike back in 2011, a Speciaized Allez woth Sora I got for ยฃ450, with inflation thatโs around ยฃ700 now. Add ยฃ100 for discs over rim brakes and youโre still looking at a fairly inflated price. Itโs good but still damn expensive for many
It's a step in the right direction, but $1150 for what's considered a budget, entry level name brand bike is still expensive. I imagine if you told people unfamiliar with cycling that "cheap" bikes start at around $1000 they'd be shocked.
Nice!
So the bike industry has completely given up on getting normal people into cycling. A grand for an entry level bike.
Buy used. Anyone who isn't using the cycle to work scheme and is buying new clearly arent budget conscious.
Its still a thousand pounds
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
so just an expensive allez
Thatโs cheaper than the aero socks and shoes Iโll be riding with!
1000Euro for a brick with wheels. Sounds reasonable
The cheaper the base line bikes get the higher the top lines get.
Still way to expensive for a push bike! Youre not gonna convince new riders to a risk am spend a ยฃ1000 for a sport they dont even onow if they'll like or not.
Unfortunately the size xs comes with 40mm bars and 170 cranks. Canyon and their sizing ๐
What the heck is a Shimano Cues?
Just buy a second hand do some research and get yourself a really good bike for around 700
Another reason to buy, maintain, and own at least one single speed cruiser brake bike. For the annual cost of registration at the DMV, at least in Washington State, you can buy one Seachange Walmart brand single speed cruiser brake bike for $200 plus tax, and have $28 per week to spend on extra food for a year. I suggest a crockpot with homemade chicken bone broth, lentils, and split peas.
$75.00 Electric Vehicle Transportation Fee
$30.00 License fee funds road construction
$150.00 Electric vehicle fee funds roads
$10.00 Additional vehicle weight fee
$45.00 Vehicle weight fee funds Highway improvement
$4.50 Filing fee funds go to the county
$8.00 Service fee retained by subagent
$0.25 License service fee supports the computer systems
$0.50 The DOL service fee supports the computer systems
$1,331.00 Regional Transit Authority tax
$ 1,654.25 Subtotal
$ 5.00 Optional state parks donation
$ 1,659.25 Total
How can it cost $1,659.25 a year just to register one car with the DMV?
That's still not affordable. I'm sticking to my road bike with clip on bars
Decathlon sells the Triban RC500 road bike with Shimano Sora and disk brakes for 700โฌ right now, so the Canyon isn't really competitive.
You could even go as low as 500โฌ, though then you get an off-brand 8 gear shifter.
Would've been better if there's a Rim version

Better than Pinarello and Colnago at 15K ๐ that's for sure
The whining about price I just donโt understand. My Campagnolo clad handmade steel frame bike cost NZ$4500 in 1984. That is ~$19,500!!!!( halve that for pounds). Any top end bike below that is cheap! In NZ at present the carbon version of this bike shown is ~$2000 NZ. At the bottom end you are not getting the best deal.
Perhaps this will tempt ordinary people back to cycling . With the advent of so many different branches of cycling prices are crazy, and unless you have a large disposable income people cannot afford to race anymore. I worked in factories all my working life, yet when I was racing I could afford in the summer to race Saturday and Sunday ( road race) and the Paddington track on a tuesday plus club 10 mile TT granted I would ride to the track and the time trials but it never broke the bank. Manufacturers have just become greedy and reverted to selling a few very expensive bikes rather than a lot of cheaper bikes. Now they are realising the mistake and trying to retrieve the situation
It is not that much money anymore if you think about it then 10years on this bike 100 euros per year is pretty low cost tbh
Bargain. That being said, one has to account for the extra expense of purchasing fitting handlebars and crankset after delivery so do add that to the $999 starting price.
Well, that indeed does sound like a very reasonable offer to me! ๐
That actually looks a decent deal!
the cheapest gravel bike in 2019, with at least a tiagra groupset, was 1600 euros. it was a scott speedster or a canyon. both with mechanical brakes. the prices are high, but 999 for that bike is a great deal. i feel like people miss out on pre covid prices
That starting price is already pretty great if it ever goes on sale its absolutely amazing.
this is like 50k
But this is the only Aluminium-frame her, next one already full-carbon. Why?
I don't think cycling is really getting too expensive. Only the top tier stuff is. But if you need a top end bike, you're probably getting one through the pro team that you're on.
1000 dollars doesnโt sound like affordability to me but hey maybe I canโt count
ooooor, and hear me out, you get a 2nd hand bike for half the price max. Still get great components and have money left over if you want to upgrade some components later on, if you decide cycling is for you. Heck, I might even buy this Canyon, in a year or two, when all the people who bought them new end up selling them, because they realise they spent 1000โฌ on something they used 3 times.
And can we talk about the geometry? It's a goddamn mess, reach is far too long for most people, size XS still comes with 170mm cranks, and not a single size comes with 38cm handlebars, that should really be the standard instead of those stupid 42cm bars.
Buddy you have to go to decathlon
Have you been paid to make videos on this bike or not?
I lok forward to when it hits the second hand market
This is a misleading add. The bike costs 999 only in Germany. I recently tried to order it from Sweden and the final cost came up around 1200 Euros. You can get similar one in any country for that price. GCN do your homework first
