CanyonSpeedmax CFR TT
The UCI-legal time-trial version of the disc-brake Speedmax, launched in May 2021 for Canyon's WorldTour teams. It keeps the CFR-grade frame with Toray M40X fibres developed with Swiss Side, but uses its own UCI-compliant tube shapes and drops all of the triathlon bike's hydration, storage and nutrition features. The front end is a conventional aluminium stem with a flat carbon basebar and Canyon's Pro TT extension system, and the XS size rolls on 650b wheels. Canyon still sells it beside the sixth-generation Speedmax triathlon bikes.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 6 categories
A proven WorldTour time-trial frame in Canyon's top CFR carbon, light at a claimed 1,030 g and sold only with Dura-Ace Di2, a power meter and deep DT Swiss wheels. The stem-and-basebar front end is conventional and easy to work on, but the 2021 design has no tri storage, and the 650b XS suits smaller riders.

Design
Canyon says the TT frame uses its own UCI-legal tube shapes and strips out the storage and nutrition features of the triathlon Speedmax. The armrests adjust with spacers and are set closer together out of the box.
SourceDesign
Size XS uses 27.5-inch (650b) DT Swiss ARC wheels with 50 mm rims and Continental tube-type tyres, plus 140 mm rotors front and rear.

Canyon's product page says Chloé Dygert rode the Speedmax CFR TT to a world championship victory.
SourceHistory
Canyon announced the Speedmax CFR TT Disc on 5 May 2021, ahead of the Giro d'Italia, as the UCI-legal counterpart of the disc-brake Speedmax tri bike. At launch it came in three sizes (S-L) in a single build with SRAM Red AXS and Zipp 808 Firecrest / Super-9 Disc wheels for €9,999.
SourceVersions
In October 2026 canyon.com/en-gb lists two versions: the 2026 bike with a spoked DT Swiss ARC 1100 rear wheel and a Shimano press-fit bottom bracket, and leftover 2024 stock with an ARC 1100 Disc rear wheel, ARC 1100 Dicut 80 mm front wheel and a CeramicSpeed bottom bracket at a reduced price.
