Canyon Bicycles Now Available Direct in the USA - Crankworx Whistler 2017
Canyon announced that they are open for business in the USA. After ironing out some details that postponed their original plans, the German direct-to-customer bike brand has opened shop in Southern California, where they will service United States customers from offices in Carlsbad and their warehouse in Chino. The Canyon USA website officially went live Tuesday. Canyon will initially be offering a modest selection, including select road bikes and their three most popular mountain bikes: the cross-country Exceed, the AM/enduro Strive, and the Dude fat bike. The Spectral trail bike and Sender DH bike available later this Fall.
I rode Canyon's Strive all-mountain/enduro machine, which will be first up for USA sales.
To celebrate the announcement, Canyon invited its media friends to join them on a heli-drop trail ride in the mountains near Whistler. We were joined by Troy Brosnan and Mark Wallace to keep the pace slow and easy,

descending a route that began in the alpine above the treeline and tumbled down natural terrain, for an enjoyable hour of technical bliss. It was Brosnan's first helicopter ride, and from the smile on his face, It won't be his last.

What's in store for Canyon in North America? Canyon is following their German rival YT, who has successfully gained a toehold in the North American mountain bike economy - and that is a good sign. Sales in the US and Canada have been stable, so YT's inroad into the market is a strong indicator that up-scale mountain bike enthusiasts are embracing the direct-sales model. I'm only guessing here, but I'm sure that Canyon's plan to hold off until its customer service and distribution channels were locked and loaded before opening its doors for business will be its most potent advertising tool. If you're in the USA, visit Canyon's new landing page and have a look.

as long we don't have the same president of yours iam with that
I mean Canyon must be a right bunch of tools to grab everyone they know in the media from their doorstep and not transport them to the US for a media announcement, mustn't they...!?!

Great to see Canyon spreading its wings ! Awesome bikes
"Tools needed for assembly and adjustment:
Torque Wrench with Hex inserts 3,4,5,6 and Torx T25 (included in box)
Air pump for tires (not included in box)
Suspension pump (included in box, Mountainbikes only)
open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver (included in box, specific Urban bikes only)
Carbon assembly paste (included in box, carbon parts only) "
I'm sometimes wonder whether these bike companies should just focus on riding and making bikes and leave the PR to someone who has a clue. Yes, Whistler is where everyone is right now but who gives a flying f**k? It seems like more of a snub than anything... as though the real estate is cheap enough in San Diego county, but the riding certainly isn't?
Put on large events in SoCal and throughout the southwest you dummies...
Never open , no one is there , looks really bad on YT
The commencial
Only one AL version...it looks like cables are on the outside of the downtube even if the frame seems to be drilled to go internal....Does anyone know the reason for that ?
the Strive is a weapon. great on climbs and rocket fast on the way down.
the spec for the price (2-3k) is unreal, the equivalent from a trek, spec or kona etc would be like 4- 6 grand.
If you accidentally damage a part on your frame e.g. a rock strike on a chainstay. Canyon won't sell you just a replacement chainstay, or even a rear triangle. No, you have to buy a whole new frame at a so called discounted price. However, the discounted price increases depending on how old your bike is as follows:
If you crash on year 1 of ownership, a new crash replacement frame will set you back £1229 ($1575) then there is the cost / hassle associated with a complete bike strip & rebuild.
Year 2 it is £1719 ($2203)
Year 3 £1919 ($2460)
The real insult comes at year 3, as this isn't really a discount, not when you consider a frame, complete with shock (Monchar Debonair) and Reverb can be bought for £2649 ($3396). The shock and Reverb is worth cira £700. So the 3rd year crash replacement frame only isn't discounted at all.
Est republicans spending big money to go against constitutional conservatives in races all across country.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are trying to erase tge history if the racist democratic party by trying to say its republicans whom were the southern racist...and people fall for it bc they don't know history! Sad
@jrocksdh: I don't know if using Trumpisms while debunking the "Southern Strategy" is going to help your argument anywhere, nevermind on pinkbike.
1) That golly Ted Cruz would just have been the best, you know, while he worked to reverse civil rights gains for women, gays, and generally anybody that isn't a white Christian man.
2) But since he didn't make it through the primaries (which btw, isn't he foreign born so barred from serving as president, but oh i forgot, Republicans don't care about silly laws that disqualify a president, so long as a Rep is in the White house), "we sure as hell made sure to get someone that would stabilize the lefts radical supreme court picks". Ya, unconstitutionally holding up the vote on Obama's nominee and then changing voting rules to push Neil Gorsuch through was the right thing to do. Good thing, cuz if we'd had a centrist like Merrick Garland he may have overturned the Citizen's United decision and then you'd be fettered by big government because your "free speech" would be limited because you couldn't spend ad much as you want in influence elections. And we all know more money means more democracy.
3) "that its too bad the swamp hasn't been drained" because Trump was TOTALLY going to do that and then someone put a gun to his head and forced him to appoint all those billionaires from corporations, banks and lobbying firms. Damn shame that is.
4) The establishment wing of the Republican party is the reason why we don't have soooo much winning. If only those dumb establishment Republican's would just believe everything I believe then we could get so much done. That's how politics works, right? You refuse to budge until people who disagree with you come over to your side OR you just kill every bill. See how successful that strategy was with the health care bill? Bill was super dead even when the Republican party had the numbers. Big win!
4) That democrats are engaged in a conspiracy to trick America into believing that Republican harbor the racist fringe elements of our society when really its THEM because over a hundred years ago the coalitions they represented were entirely different. Things were one when back in history, they can never change, therefore Democrats are the racists.
So in fewer words any of this shit.
Those bikes are awesome!!
