| Overview | ||
| Brand | Canyon | Ceepo |
| Build | Speedmax CF 8 Di2 Race | Shadow frameset |
| Build notes | — | Sold as a frameset with stem through Ceepo dealers. The USD price is from the 'Shadow Frameset Kit' listing in Ceepo's own online shop (the Shadow product page shows no price); that listing gives the older 450/490/520 mm seat tube lengths, so confirm the current frame with a dealer. |
