"Canyon has slackened the head angle by a full 2.5 degrees, bringing it down to 66°. They've also stretched the wheelbase by roughly 40mm, enhancing descending performance."
"The new Lux now has 120mm up front and 110mm in the rear. According to Canyon pro Luca Schwarzbauer, that extra capability is about more than just speed-it's about recovery."
"Canyon managed to shave 55 grams off the previous CFR frame, bringing the size Medium frame weight down to just 1,480 grams. Complete bike builds are weighing in at as low as 9.8 kilograms."
"The most interesting technical addition is the adjustable anti-squat flip chip. This allows riders to fine-tune pedaling efficiency and suspension feel based on their specific gearing or the day's terrain."
