The frame Canyon Road Lite is triple butted aluminum with carbon fiber fork for. Is assembled with the full Shimano 105 adopted, with compact crankset and possibility for triple crankset. The wheels are Mavic Aksium with Cotinental tires. Stem, handlebar and seat post are Ritchey WCS, while the saddle is Selle Italia X1. Does not include pedals and bottle cage. The bike has a claimed weight of 8.15 kg and a price of 999 Euro. It’s without doubt the best entry level price/performance/quality; in this Canyon is an advantage from the sale online. The frame is very light and rigid, while praising the use of the Shimano 105 adopted in full and good wheels. Quality of the saddle and Ritchey WCS components. A bike that has good performance for the only real flaw in online sales, which is a limit, to evaluate carefully the possibility of assistance and some difficulty in reselling the bike. A valid means, but buy with care.

Negative aspects
Bottle cage and pedals not included
Sales only online
