Canyon Bicycles is relatively new to the cycling scene but has quickly grown into a major player as a result of its direct-to-consumer online sales strategy.
The company was founded in 1985 by two brothers, Roman and Franc Arnold, who initially provided cyclists in and around Germany with high-end bike components. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that they took the leap and began manufacturing their own bicycles.
Based at a cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Koblenz, Germany, Canyon is now a highly profitable and popular brand. The company sponsors several teams across the professional road-racing spectrum, Movistar Team, Katusha-Alpecin and Canyon-SRAM, as well as having a presence in cyclo-cross and mountain bike disciplines.

Canyon’s road-bike range and coding explained
As a German brand, Canyon is naturally very particular when it comes to the naming philosophy of its bicycle portfolio. Using an alpha-numeric coding system, Canyon’s bikes are named according to their frame material and component level. The road bike range comprises bicycles such as the Aeroad, Endurace, Ultimate and Speedmax as well as two off-road options, the Grail and Inflite.
Canyon alpha-numeric coding made easy
- AL — Aluminium
- CF — Carbon Fibre
- CF SL — Carbon Fibre Super Light
- CF SLX — Carbon Fibre Super Light Extreme
- Disc/Aero — Brake type/bike function
- WMN — Women-specific
- 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 — Component level, with 10 being the best
In other words, the Canyon Aeroad WMN CF SL Disc 8.0, can be deciphered as a women-specific model, featuring a carbon-fibre super light-frame, disc brakes with mid-level components.
