This summer’s Paris Olympic Games saw 40 Canyon athletes competing in track cycling, road cycling, time trial, triathlon and cross-country mountain biking. Each of the athletes’ bikes was decked out in Canyon’s speed of light-inspired ‘MACH874’ artwork.
To celebrate the athletes’ performances, Canyon is releasing three limited-edition designs: the Aeroad CFR MACH874 performance road bike, Lux World Cup CFR MACH874 cross-country mountain bike, and a urban commuter, Canyon’s Roadlite:ON CF 9 LTD MACH874 e-bike.
The MACH874 design came from Canyon’s Creative Director Ultan Coyle who took the inspiration of Paris as the city of light together with the high-speed performances of the athletes to create a speed-of-light inspired design, otherwise known as MACH874.
Each bike was designed with a prism colourway on the forks and a deep blue/grey base colour with silver accents and an iridescent Canyon logo that changes colour as light hits it.
The Aeroad CFR MACH874 retails for €11,999. It is built with Canyon’s CP0048 adaptable PACE Bar aero cockpit and aero seatpost, and equipped with Shimano’s Dura-Ace drivetrain, brakes and powermeter, along with DT Swiss’s aero-engineered ARC 1100 wheels with 50mm rims, shod with Continental’s tubeless-ready GP 5000 tyres.
With a retail price of €7,999, the Lux World Cup MACH874 is Canyon’s cross-country bike, designed with one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames on the market. The MACH874 version comes with a FOX 32 Step Cast Factory fork, a FOX Float Dual Piston System Factory Shock with handlebar-mounted lock out control, Shimano XTR shifting and braking systems, plus DT Swiss’ cross-country wheelset, the XRC 1200.
The Roadlite:ON CF 9 LTD MACH874 retails for retails for €6,499. It is a fast, flat bar e-bike for city speed. It comes with a compact and lightweight Fazua Ride 60 motor, matched with a 430Wh battery with a connected 150-lumen LightSKIN Ultra Mini light and a Supernova TL3 PRO rear light that adapts its light settings when braking.
