Ahead of Eurobike, German direct-sales brand Canyon has unveiled its updated range of Inflite 'cross bikes for 2017.
Canyon has again opted to only offer the Inflite with an aluminium frame, either made from the brands' top tier smooth welded AL SLX alloy or second tier AL 7005 alloy. However, according to Canyon’s website all the frames will carry the same claimed weight of 1,480g in a size medium.
For 2017, Inflite ‘cross bikes come with Canyon’s F21 full carbon fork with a tapered steerer and VLCS (Vertical Comfort Lateral Stiffness) seatpost, which has a built in leaf spring to absorb bumps and vibrations.

At the back, the Inflite sees asymmetric seatstays that are also given the VLCS label, which Canyon says allows for a comfortable ride without sacrificing power transfer or succumbing to the additional forces of the disc brake. The bottom of the Inflite’s toptube has also been flattened for more comfortable shouldering.
It seems that Canyon has opted to offer the 2017 Inflite with front and rear quick release over thru-axles, an interesting choice given the way the industry is going and considering the brand's Endurace disc road bikes feature front and rear 12mm thru-axles. The bikes also see a PF86 bottom bracket and Selle Italia saddles across the range.
New for 2017 is Canyon’s Sponsorship deal. For ‘cross racers, especially in muddy areas of the world, having an A and B bike can be invaluable, but for many amateurs this isn't financially feasible. So to soften the blow to your wallet ever-so-slightly, if you order two Inflite AL SLX 8.0 Pro Race or 9.0 Pro Race cyclocross bikes with identical specs Canyon will knock £400 / US$N/A / AU$600 or £600 / US$TBC / AU$1000 off the price.
