At Canyon individuality and in-house development are of highest priority. So it was never up for discussion to launch a fork with individual solutions on the market which was developed exclusively for the Speedmax. Not only does it blend in harmoniously with the outer appearance, but it also outstandingly complements the aerodynamically optimised frame. The wide fork legs route the air stream steadily into the complete system and as the first touch point to the wind they contribute an important part to the Speedmax's excellent aerodynamics.

Air turbulence on at the rear wheel can be minimised by using a seat tube which is perfectly aligned with the rear tire. That's why Canyon has developed the Super Aero-Shape seat tube. All frames are fitted with horizontal drop outs and allow any wheel or tire to be perfectly positioned in the seattube cut-out, thereby minimising the clearance between tire and frame. Because the smaller the clearance, the lower the air turbulence. In addition, the clearance between tire and frame which is required by the UCI (the thickness of a credit card) can be adjusted without any tools using knurled bolts.
