L'applicazione della tecnologia degli impianti frenanti a disco per le bici da strada è da anni argomento di discussione, che ha coinvolto corridori, tecnici, dirigenti, costruttori.
Canyon ha esplorato il potenziale della tecnologia nel 2006 con Projekt 6.8, e dieci anni dopo è nato il modello Endurace CF SLX, il primo modello che ha permesso ai corridori di sperimentare la tecnologia Canyon.
Ora questa tecnologia viene applicata su tutta la gamma stradale Canyon, quindi sui nuovi modelli Aeroad CF SLX, Ultimate CF SLX, Ultimate CF SL, Endurace CF SLX e Endurace CF SL.
La creazione di una gamma completa di bici da strada attrezzate con freni a disco non ha comportato semplicemente un adattamento, ma tutti i modelli sono stati riprogettati da zero e completamente testato dai nostri corridori professionisti, con l'obiettivo di offrire la stessa guidabili e maneggevolezza che da sempre contraddistingue le specialissime Canyon.



How to apply disc brake technology to the road has been a topic of heated discussion for years. Various standards have come and gone while riders have debated the positive and negative impacts of disc brakes on road bikes and on road cycling in general.
Canyon first explored the potential of road disc technology in 2006 with Projekt 6.8, a concept study with a full hydraulic braking system that tipped the scales bang on the UCI’s 6.8 kg minimum weight limit. Ten years on, we have reached a crossroads. Technology has caught up. We are no longer just dealing with concepts. Back in June 2016, we launched the Endurace CF SLX, the first model that enabled riders to experience our interpretation of how a disc brake road bike should perform.
Now, we can announce the expansion of our disc technology across the entire Canyon road range. All-new Aeroad CF SLX, Ultimate CF SLX, Ultimate CF SL, Endurace CF SLX and Endurace CF SL Disc models offer unparalleled Canyon
riding performance enhanced by levels of control only disc brakes can provide.Creating a complete range of disc-equipped road bikes was not simply a question of adapting our existing rim brake platforms. All models have been re-engineered from the ground up and thoroughly tested by our pro riders and engineers so that they offer the same ride and handling performance Canyon road bikes are known for.
