Award-Winning Precede:ON Carbon e-Bike From Canyon Will Leave You Wanting More 30 Apr 2021, 10:35 UTC ·

Ladies and gents, the bike smashing into your visual cortex is none other than Canyon Bicycles Precede:ON CF 9. I’m sure you’ve heard of Canyon before, but not so sure you’ve heard of the Precede. Why? Well, this bike seems to only be available in Europe, where the urban biking scene is a bit more developed than in the U.S.
Still, if you know little about Canyon, I can tell you it has been around since 1985 when Roman Arnold and his brother, Franc Arnold, founded Radsport Arnold. Much later, in 2021, the company rebranded and adopted a slightly different sales approach: the internet. It seems like business has been booming since then and have risen to become a world-renowned cycling force.

Canyon has asked current Aeroad CFR and CF SLX owners to stop riding their bikes after Mathieu van der Poel’s handlebar snapped during the Le Samyn one-day race in Belgium.

Canyon’s sponsored professional cycling teams, including Alpecin-Fenix, Movistar and Canyon/SRAM, have also switched bikes – to the previous-generation Aeroad and Ultimate all-rounder – following the incident.
Van der Poel finished the race with the handlebar on his Aeroad snapped roughly halfway down the right-hand drop. The handlebar is being analysed by Canyon’s development and quality control departments, according to a statement issued by the company.
