Hopefully the prices will not increase a lot.
Any update on this topic?
Dan said on the topic related to last Friday’s Frodeno interview that he had news (but obviously couldn’t communicate). As far as I know the Speedmax disc has not been talked about during the interview (Canyon 360 lab)
I believe/hope the bike shall be published/released in November.
Personally I am waiting for information on this bike before making my choice on which disc brake TT bike to buy for 2021 and I am slowly getting sick of waiting.
IIRC Canyon’s recent releases were all made on Tuesdays. With their event now finished I wouldn’t be surprised to see it coming out tomorrow or next week. But frankly that is pure speculation.
Frodeno’s Insta story - riding a disc braked TT at the airport - assuming from last week or whenever. Looks pretty good from afar!
Surely that’s the trickle down version. The P-series equivalent for Canyon. Not a very attractive head tube/stem area. Looks like some kind of storage above the bottom bracket as well.
I remember making my own storage bin in like 2008…

I see close to zero storage on the one he rides. No benti, no draftbox. Seems something is out at the BB though.
Very curious of the bta hydration system

It’ll be super interesting as the Speedmax hit all the buttons - storage, hydration, etc. I would be surprised if they lost all of that!
Should be interesting to say the least.
Also could only see the box above the BB for storage. It doesn’t look like there is enough space in the frame for storage (as there is at the moment) so this likely replaces that.
I can’t see where they would put reservoir to feed a BTA straw - there just doesn’t look like there is space for fluid anywhere in the frame (similar to the old Shiv). The downtube doesn’t look ‘fat’ enough and surely you couldn’t fit a reservoir in the headtube around the forks?
It wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve done anyway with the integrated hydration system. In the survey they sent out about the Speedmax last year there was a lot of focus on trade-offs (i.e. would you prefer disc brakes over integrated hydration) and ranking of how important these sort of things were to you. Clearly they were thinking about not bothering with it then as you were being asked what sort of features were more or less important to customers. They could go down the route of the Cervelo where they sell a version that comes with some sort of BTA bottle that is aero and works with the frame (maybe not dissimilar to the new Scott Plasma?) but isn’t fully integrated like the current version.
I think the video in the frodeno post must be the TT version of the speedmax. No bento boxes and no hydration system. If the speedmax looses that I believe it will loose part of its essence.
I’d be quite surprised if they did completely different Tri and TT versions, the current TT version is an identical frame and bar set up without all the integrated hydration/nutrition. From an economic perspective, it probably doesn’t make sense to have very different bikes at the top end. They might be able to fit a bento on the bike in the video but the one piece riser means they couldn’t fit the current Speedmax bottle on.
It looks more likely that they’ll offer some other solution (like the Scott Plasma I mentioned above) to get the necessary integration for triathletes.
How often does Canyon keep their tri bikes without an update? Are they on a 5 year cycle? (no pun intended). Cervelo is what–every couple of years? I’m wondering who does more updates…?
Thinking Cervelo is more frequent possibly due to more $$ behind them? With the new owners of Canyon I wonder how that may change…(if that deal was in fact inked already).
Isnt that the same riser cups snd extensions as Kona2019? Just without the hydration unit there

If you look at the ‘classics’ (P2c, P3, P3c, P4, P5), Cervelo’s are actually around 5 years too. Some brands are longer but I think it’s less to do with the dollars available to spend and more about there being a business case. Tri and TT bikes are not huge markets so often not worth the more frequent investment.
Mmmmm…it doesn’t seem
.
So how long can it take to edit that hangar video so we can get a damn release, feels like forever!

Feels like waiting for an iSpeedmax and seems like an iphone release to me!

And he said - two weeks to go - following the Tuesday release idea someone said a while back!
Agree - looks good.
Interestingly, they seem to have taped over the stem to frame interface to do wind tunnel testing (?).
Very wide fork, but that was to be expected I guess.

Yup, will be interesting, still seeing no bento box or front end hydration.
