What's going on with Canyon USA? Bikes are available in Canada and Mexico, but not in the USA

I’m in the US and I’ve been trying to buy a Speedmax CF 8 Disc since last November. In the beginning I thought the delays were due to Covid, then because of ships getting stuck in the Suez Canal, then the lack of capacity of American ports, materials, workers, etc… I also trusted their “Notify Me” feature but I quickly realized it wasn’t reliable. Then I tried using browser extensions to notify me of page changes, and more recently, I wrote my own script. What I noticed lately is: when it approaches the “due date”, it gets pushed back further and further.

Today, I decided to check the Canyon’s Canadian and Mexican websites. To my surprise, pretty much all models/sizes are available. From the cheaper CF7 to the most expensive Speedmax CF SLX, and everything in between. The Canadian site, even offers the Speedmax CF 8 without power meter for a more reasonable price. That’s exactly what I wanted!

My two questions to you all is:

  • Has anybody been able to buy the Speedmax CF 8 in the US in the past few months?
  • What’s going on? Are the bike getting sold out as soon as they become available and I’m missing that opportunity?

This is so frustrating.

A guy at the pool told me this morning “I think pretty soon ‘The Truth’ will be revealed to us”, so maybe this is what he’s talking about - The Canyon mystery?

JK. But seriously. He did.

Not 2000 mules but 2000 marathoners?

I’ve been trying to get the Speedmax CF 7 Disc eTap. In stock both Canada and Mexico. I am in southern California. I wonder if I can order the bike on Canyon MX, have it shipped to a facility in Mexico, so I can drive down and pick it up.

3 days ago the Canyon USA website said “11/14 - 11/25”. Last night it said “11/25 - 12/xx”, now it just changed to “January 2023”

I’ve wondered the same thing. The Inflite cs sl 8 doesn’t even show any kind of availability or timeline, but on the German site it’s just available.

I’m considering some sort of shipping proxy service… any experience with these?
