Canyon's 2025 in review

Best in class. In every class.

At Canyon, we chase performance in every form. Race wins, world-class German engineering, breakthrough design. It all feeds one purpose: to make your ride better.

Throughout 2025, Canyon bikes continued to lead from the front, on all fronts.

These are the highlights of our year.

Right: The new Canyon flagship store opened in Munich in March.

Racing recap

Drama, glory, and the best bikes in the field.

Mathieu van der Poel raises his Aeroad CFR Tensor to the sky after winning his third Paris-Roubaix in a row. The special edition model sports a design inspired by the brutal impact of the Roubaix cobblestones.

Road & Gravel

The cobbles of Roubaix. The flats of San Remo. The hills of the Ardennes. The sprints of the Tour.

This season, the Aeroad CFR proved untouchable on all terrain. MVDP, Puck Pieterse and Jasper Philipsen made sure of it with a run of huge wins.

And on gravel, Rosa Kloser piloted her Grail CFR first across the line in eight big races, taking home the Gravel Earth Series crown.

Swedish cross country mountain biker Jenny Rissveds (pictured, left) had a stunning debut season for Canyon on her Lux World Cup, while the Canyon Factory Racing downhill team (right) won Team of the Season on the new Sender CFR.

Cross country & Downhill

Across MTB racing, the Canyon teams delivered a standout season. In cross country, Jenny Rissveds helped turn the Lux World Cup CFR into the winningest bike on course with a rainbow jersey and eight World Cup victories, all in her first year on Canyon.

Downhill saw the launch of the new Sender CFR, developed hand-in-hand with our pro team and built to turn small gains into big results. Marine Cabirou claimed two World Cup wins, Henri Kiefer broke through with a thrilling World Championship silver, and the squad closed the year as Team of the Season.

Part of me was like, 'Am I crazy enough to even think of riding again?'

– Harriet Burbidge-Smith

Read the inspiring comeback story of freeride pro Harriet Burbidge-Smith, who returned from a broken neck to compete at Rampage this year.

The new Grizl boasted never-seen-before features, including the unique Full Mounty handlebar setup and the ECLIPS dynamo power system.

The bikes that moved us forward in 2025

As well as the Sender CFR (mentioned above), we released an array of exciting new bikes in 2025.

Among them, the sub-€1,000 Endurace AllRoad brought performance to more riders than ever, and its :ONFly cousin used an ultra-compact battery system to make electric riding feel more natural than ever.

The new Grizl followed with an eye-catching range of on-bike innovations designed for out-the-box adventure, reflecting our drive to stretch expectations at every step.

‘The Monster’ prototype downhill bike that allowed Canyon’s engineers and pro riders test different setups to find the perfect formula for the new Sender CFR.

ICYMI – Meet ‘The Monster’

Our new downhill rig, the Sender CFR, was a good example of Canyon engineering at its finest in 2025. As shown in the bike’s launch film, the Sender’s story runs deep, all the way from The Monster – the prototype that locked in the high-pivot concept – to the top step of the World Cup podium with Troy Brosnan.
