My best guess is that the funny shape top tube is the top tube plus a wedge storage box that cleans up the top tube=head tube transition.

In terms of the down tube the bike looks Di2 so I wonder if that is where they are hiding the electronic gubbins. They wouldn't be the first to come this solution and it may have given them more freedom when designing the front end of the bike. What would be real neat is if alongside the electronics there was a hydraulic hose quick connector so you could really play around with the front end without having to re-bleed the brakes. I don't think that is possible though unless the front brake cable loops around.

Waddup crew! I've been eagerly following this thread along with anything on social media and have put the speculation together with my thoughts on a video here

Her latest instagram video is the old model.
In the story, she's (probably) riding the new one, which is hidden below the towel, and the old model is in plain sight.

Yeah I get it. Everyone's needs are different. If there was an option where you could do either/or, I think that would satisfy everyone.

As mentioned, the Trinity does this. As do the existing Speedmax, Aerium, and Plasma. They are all designed to clean up nicely without the bottles/nutrition storage in place.

Can you easily mount a standard bottle bta? And does removing the integrated bottle negatively affect drag or is it drag neutral?

Yes, they have standard extensions and there's nothing in the way of mounting standard BTA.

Removing them is, at worst, drag neutral. Cube, for example cites a minimal % drag increase by using their system. They're likely all faster than a standard BTA though. If you're worried about drag, use their system.

Screenshot taken from Canyon's last Instagram story (the original picture is blurred). It clearly seems to me that integrated hydration or an integrated storage box will take place at the beginning of the top tube.



It also seems rather close to the prototype picture that could be found on the web some years ago.

Maybe I am in the market for a new tri bike. Possibly I want to future proof my purchase and have a wheelset that will be transferable to other bikes. Disc brakes have been on MTB's for 3 decades now. They are pretty much all you will get from now on new road bikes. Quite simply they are far superior to rim brakes. Disc brakes on tri bikes are opening up new design options for aero wheels. Time for people to get over the x watt penalty if there is one and realise there will be gains elsewhere.

Go on. I'll bite.
When it pisses down every other day, and there's a hundred corners you need to brake for (inc many near-dead-stop junctions) and the route has 100+ of 112 on open roads, and you know the braking on most carbon rims is the wet is utter shiiite, then you'll know the benefit of discs.

I'll save WAAAAY more time with good reliable brakes in these crappy conditions than any amount of aero gains from an uber bike.

I do agree however that if you're in Arizona and have 4x 90 degree bends in 112 miles on a shitboring course, then they aren't needed.

You don't. So don't buy a bike with disc brakes or keep the one you have.

Have you ever ridden disc brakes. They’re better. The modulate better. They require less finger tension which keeps your hands/arms more relaxed on long descents. The allow for more radical wheel designs like the new Roval Rapide which is the most amazing wheel set I’ve ever ridden.

Maybe you can’t afford to upgrade all your kit. That’s too bad. But seriously, pull your head out of your ass.

so you can run wider tires and wider wheels. if you still run latex its nice to not pop your tires on a steep hill. Yes I have done it before with latex.
