The new frame Aeroad CF has several innovations. Its structure monocoque high modulus carbon fiber, has the internal cable, the bottom bracket with standard classic and enhanced aerodynamic profile of a large tube and pipe, which follows in the rear, part of the wheel profile. The tube is wide and flat, so as to have a more aerodynamic profile. The rear tubes with a good size. The fork has straight legs and aerodynamic profile, has the special feature of the adjustable dropouts. In fact you can adjust the rake of the fork of 5 mm, through a rotation of the inserts present in the same dropouts. This adjustment allows the wheel forward or backward, relative to the fork. In the first case you'll get a bike more stable and accurate high speed, in accordance with a faster bike to fit into corners. Basalt fibers it is made of allow better absorption of vibrations and the range of the steering i-lock allows a perfect seal without damaging the upper stem of the fork. The seatpost is always in carbon fiber and basalt, is oval and has an adjustable slide of 20 mm to better position the saddle. 9.0LTD version is assembled with the Campagnolo Record 2011, adopted the complete crankset, controls, brakes, sprocket, chain, front and rear derailleur. The wheels are the new Cosmic Carbone SR, with high-profile rim and aluminium braking track. The stem Ritchey WCS 4-Axis, while the handlebar is always Ritchey WCS Logic II. The saddle is a Selle Italia SLR XP. The bike, so assembled weighs about 6.9 kg and is available in 6 different sizes. The list price is 4199 Euro. The new Canyon Aeroad CF is a great bike for those who do triathlons or races on tracks very fast and with few climbs. The weight, however, makes it competitive even uphill though not a model designed for this use. Excellent opportunity to adjust the rake of the fork, so as to adapt the best features of the type of bike path ahead. Always consistent and high quality assembly, with the excellent Mavic Cosmic Carbone SR that enhance the best qualities fast acceleration of the bike. For this is a very competitive model on fast tracks and courses. The price is very competitive, like all the Canyon, where the removal of the traditional sales network delivers a significant savings, so you can consider this model as the ideal purchase in its category for value for money. The negative points are not resident in the bike, but in the absence of the sales network and direct contact with the seller, which can often be helpful. It is also impossible to think of the classic trade-in, another thing to keep in mind, but the bike itself, from the technical point of view is valid, competitive proposal and a very competitive price.
