Highlights Speedmax CF SLX 8 AXS

Speedmax CF SLX

The best. Better.

Jan Frodeno. Canyon Bicycles. The partnership that changed triathlon forever. We first joined forces in 2015: the top engineers in the industry, collaborating with the greatest triathlete of all time, united by the same goal. To take the best bike, to be the best athlete – and never stop levelling up. The result? The Speedmax, the benchmark triathlon bike on the planet today.

Canyon Engineered Perfection

The Speedmax CF SLX represents the bleeding edge of bike design in modern triathlon. Inheriting the same sophisticated, race-inspired integrations and storage solutions as the flagship Speedmax CFR and featuring one of the most adjustable cockpits around, this is the most advanced bike on the scene.

Key features

Adjustable cockpit

This highly adjustable, high-end cockpit comes supplied with a fitting kit, so you can adjust your fit to perfection. The premium grips deliver performance, comfort, and aesthetics in equal measure, damping vibrations and giving you plenty hand grip in wet and dry conditions alike.

An aerodynamic integrated hydration system

Stay hydrated easily: access your drink without removing your hands from the bar or changing your riding position. Developed in collaboration with Hydrapak, this hydration system is perfectly integrated into the downtube, creating zero additional drag. The system consists of a hydration bladder, a drinking tube, and bite valve.

Bento Box

In triathlon, having quick and easy access to your nutrition is key. That’s why we place a hard-shell Bento box on the tope tube, right at your fingertips. Equipped with hinged lid for optimum durability and ease-of-use, this is the ideal place for storing your gels and bars.

Simple tool storage: bottom bracket box

Smartly integrated into the bottom bracket area, the BB Toolbox actually increases the bike’s frame stiffness thanks to its double-walled design. The toolkit comes equipped with a replacement tube, two tyre levers and a CO2 pump, and there’s space for 2 additional CO2 cartridges. The sliding cover is simple to use and looks super-clean too.

Bike classification

Bikes of this category are designed for riding on hard-surface roads where the wheels remain in permanent contact to the ground. These are in general road racing bicycles with racing handlebars or straight handlebars, triathlon or time trial bicycles. The permissible maximum overall weight comprising rider, luggage and bicycle should not exceed 120 kg. Under certain circumstances this permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations for use. Proven cyclocross and gravel bikes with racing handlebars and cantilever or disc brakes are a special case in this category. In addition, these bikes are also suitable for gravel paths and off-road trails where a short loss of tyre contact with the ground due to small stairs or steps at a height of 15 to 20 cm can occur.
