Hello!
New bike day for me, with a beautiful Speedmax cf 8 in size XS.
However just one major disappointment, the wheels on the XS are not 65mm / 80mm depth but 50mm depth.
Sadly this is not advertised or informed anywhere on the website so I wanted to let the audience here on reddit be aware. I was hoping to get a good wheelset, and it’s not a bad one but it’s a let down from Canyon.
I contacted them and they aren’t budging, insisting that the value of the 650c 50mm rim depth wheels, is the same as the 700 65/80mm rim depth wheels. Which I just can’t believe to be true.

I don’t think there are 65/80mm 650b wheels produced by DT Swiss. In terms of price they cost the same. It does seem a bit shady, that they aren’t mentioning it anywhere on the product site or during checkout (I even checked in German). The choice for 650b wheelsets is really limited as well if you are looking for disc wheels and such (but there are some) which makes it even more of a bummer.
While I get that canyon usually offers great prices, and their 650b wheel choice is great for shorter riders on most bikes, it wasn’t the best choice for a TT/Tri-Bike.
Seems to be listed on the site. Did you just miss it? Could also be an honest mistake until they got the first complaint. But what do you mean the value isn’t the same? Check the DT website. The retail price for the different depths is the same.
