Canyon Bikes now available in the US
It appears that the site is now up and running and bikes can be ordered.

For a consumer direct business, these aren't THAT cheap...

The Ultimate CF SLX 9.0 is a fantastic value. The DT Swiss wheels and full 9100 retail for over $4000. A Specialized S Works Tarmac or a Cannondale Hi Mod Evo with the same build would be on the floor at over $9000. I've been in the industry for nearly 10 years and I can't recall a big brand bike with those specs for less than 8 grand. Obviously, you're not paying UK mail order prices for Dura Ace from the Big 4, Giant, Trek, Specialized and Cannondale.

someone remind me why $5000 and up bikes are supposed to cut into the business at the LBS again?

Uh, there's $2,000 bikes and below that on the site.

These should be a really good deals once the original owners decide to sell them.

I am sure they are nice bikes. That said, whats the big deal? Will they cool here in the US now that you can get one?
I bought a big box bike from the S (not sHram) store and cant really imagine it being leaps and bounds better. Just another option. Like I said, look really cool and I am sure they are nice but whats all the Hubbub. Bub. |

all I can think of when I think canyon now, is how UGLY their new cross bike is.
also, what a soft launch, there are barely any bikes in there, no framesets. lame |

I'll be interested when I can get a used Aeroad frame under $1000.

This was my reaction. I've been watching them for a while and they've always had a large selection of levels for a given bike - often every level from 105 up to DA. But the launch here is pretty limited. I'm surprised. Probably just a "we build what we think we can sell and any unsold inventory hurts the bottom line."

Earlier in the year Canyon announced that when they launched in the US (late in 2017), they would only be selling 2018 model bikes. As not all 2018 models are available yet, the US web offerings will be a bit sparse at first, and increasing as the new year approaches.

I saw one of their TT bikes in the flesh a few weeks ago. It's very slick. The bento box add-on's are weird looking. Seems like more tt bikes are getting that.

The prices are nothing special until you get into the über bike categories... also that cx bike is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Canyon was supposed to be the lbs world killer, but this is a solid meh.
