Now give us the slx version! Looking very much forward to seeing that, hope they keep a lot of their great features
What do you think the chances are that they show it tomorrow during the World TT Championships. Obviously without all the storage but this could what they are waiting for.
Any new leaks on the more top end version of this bike maybe?
They are releasing the new Aeroad on October 6th so they may release with that due to the aero nature of both bikes or wait 2 weeks after like they did between the new Ultimate the released the other day.
5-11 Oct is the Ironman VR world championships celebration so we may see something there.
On October 06 there is a launch event. Don‘t know exactly what bikes they are showing.
While that Orbea Ordu looks like something about five years from the past, that Speedmax is a step forward aesthetically. We’ll learn in time how fast it is, but the silhouette passes the eyeball test.
Considering the group set on that is etap circa 2017-18, I don’t think that silhouette is anything more than a design fancy

Speedmax Disc
This is the picture of an old concept bike, dated 2017 or something like that.

Speedmax Disc
If that’s the new one it looks like they’ve got downhill mountain bike levels of slackness in the front fork.
It seems that Frodeno is currently doing pictures/shooting with the new Speedmax according to his Instagram story.

And the Y-shaped extensions look similar to Cervélo’s. Interesting. I wonder whether they will announce it on Saturday for “Kona” or it we’ll have to wait more.

That is the lotus concept bike isnt it?
Anyway looking very much forward to the release of the canyon speedmax disc CF SLX! The new aeroad looks amazing hope this is too.
I think the old canyon is close to perfect already, just need some kind of read storage, maybe a bit more adjustability and a size XL!
I picked up my Speedmax CF SLX last fall and can’t imagine anything on the new model that would peak my interest in any way to swap to it. I can’t remember the last time needing the brakes (in a serious way) on the bike, or something with the stopping power of a disc brake. Everything else on the bike is amazing and leaves me wanting nothing more. Now, if it was a CF (non SLX) model that I was riding while eyeing the CF SLX, then I’d have to think long about it as to which one I prefer. I actually like the rim brake version with the “hidden” brakes inside the fork and behind the BB. Can’t imagine throwing a set of calipers and discs into the airflow is anything but a wattage loss (albeit small). Maybe they are tweaking a few other things to offset that. Who knows, but I think we are at the point of progress in some of these bike that are merely marginal gains and ones that we mortals would even feel the difference.
Has anyone else clocked Jan Frodeno being at what looks like a photoshoot for the new Speedmax today on his Instagram stories? The single riser is visible along with a sram 12sp crank, I think I can make out a downtube storage box too. Fingers crossed it drops soon!
Yeah I also saw that - as you said, looks like a single riser and storage above the BB. Not sure whether this means there no front mounted bottle and no bento? Big selling point for the previous model was the completely integrated hydration/food system and tool storage in the frame.
Exactly - it’s called SpeedMax after all. If brakes were that important they’d be calling it StopMax
Anyone see Jan Frodeno’s “My Story” on Instagram? It is only up for 24 hrs (stories) & they were in an airplane hanger. He panned the camera quickly & partial view of a mono-stem TT bike was leaning partially seen against something. Could this be a fast glimpse of the new Speedmax Disc? He said, “Baack…boys…you can’t see what he is looking at…” just as on the return pan of the camera, he skips OVER the TT bikes to the left and said, “It is time.” I wonder if the elusive TT Disc is ready?
Jan Frodeno has just posted a picture of him on the new Speedmax Disc so it must be coming soon. Looks like the bike from the discussion above too
Certainly the disc model.
Probably be Released on the 24th and that is when canyon have the DIY-TRI Event
