Hi everyone,
I just got an email from Canyon stating I should stop riding my Speedmax CF 8 Disc(The poor man’s speedmax, not the cool one). Looks like the fork can potentially crack. Canyon has indicated a fix is coming in December.
Does anyone know more about this?
I received the same. The message just says to sit tight. I’m guessing that they will arrange for local repairs. I’m hoping that if the cockpit is changed or swapped out, that we can replace it with something that is more compatible with the newer hydration systems.
Screen shot?
My fork broke in 2021. They are shameless for doing the revision in 2024. In 2021 there were already many comments on the internet from people who had the same thing happen to them.
I was lucky and it broke while climbing up. If it were going down, maybe I wouldn’t be here today.
It’s a shame that they do the revision in 2024. Who knows how many crashes there have been
Can you please DM me…
I’m glad you’re ok. That’s terrifying, especially at the speeds that we can hit on a TT bike. I wonder why they took so long to address the issue. Now that you mentioned it, I found a bunch of posts for steerers breaking - on the Endurance, Ultimate and the Speedmaxs as well.
We have an email out to find out more information.
My wife has a CF 7.0 and received the same e-mail yesterday. We replied saying that we’re leaving for 70.3 worlds in a couple of weeks. For now they said they’re “doing their best”, whatever that may mean.
It’s interesting from the legal perspective as well.
Do we know if the new updated Canyon Speedmax CF (from this year, with hidden cables) has an updated fork? If yes, do you think it’s a plausible assumption they waited with the investigation finish up until they could rely on a new production line readiness? If so, how many people could’ve been injured in the meantime, when they might’ve known the issue (as per Anakin’s post), but had no solution at the time?
I got the email too and I had (and have since sold) the 2019 CF 7
Forward on to the buyer 
.
The buyer was TPC (the pro’s closet)…so they will have inspected it, but I’m not sure who will have bought it from them. Hopefully they read forums like ST?
Ha…in that case you’re free of guilt.
“mostly after a harsh impact” - so not exclusively after a harsh impact, just “mostly.” yikes.
A harsh impact could describe every British road ride ever so it’s fair to say mine will stay on the turbo until resolved. I’d be really annoyed if I was getting ready for 70.3 worlds!
Received the mail. For a 2017 model I have been riding for the last seven (!!!) years… Little scary it took them all those years to find there was an issue… Now I am using a Tririg cockpit and not the original stem, but it is not clear if the problem is the fork, the stem, or the combination.
Don’t have a Canyon, just curious. The email says don’t ride until inspected by a professional mechanic. Is Canyon reimbursing everyone to have this inspection done? If not does it open them up to a class action lawsuit?
Argon 18 also issued a similar thing earlier this year on the first model of the E119, which is from 2016.
