WELCOME

DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER,
We have summarised for you in these addi-
tional instructions for the Canyon bicycle
manual road bike a large number of tips con-
cerning the use and handling of your Canyon
Speedmax CF SLX which take into account
the differences between this and a conven-
tional bike.
The chapters here supplement or even re-
place the relevant section in the bicycle man-
ual road bike. Thoroughly read through these
additional instructions and the bicycle manu-
al road bike and then
carry out exactly the assembly instructions
given in the chapter "Assembly from the
Bike Guard".
note and follow the information given in the
chapter "Before your first ride" in your bicy-
cle manual road bike.
read the chapter "Intended use" to find out
on how to use your new Canyon Speedmax
CF SLX and what the permitted overall
weight is (rider, clothing and baggage).
carry out the minimum functional check
before every ride. For more details on how
to proceed, read the chapter "Before every
ride" in your bicycle manual road bike. Do
not ride your Canyon Speedmax CF SLX un-
less it has passed the functional check one
hundred per cent!
On the digital data medium enclosed with
these additional instructions you will find a
number of maintenance and repair routines
in detail.
When carrying out these routines, be aware
that the instructions and information provid-
ed in your manual only refer to this Canyon
Speedmax CF SLX and that they do not nec-
essarily apply to other bikes. Due to numer-
ous designs and model changes, it may be
that some of the routines are not described
in every detail. For that reason it is essential
to follow the additional instructions of our
component suppliers on the data medium and
those enclosed in the BikeGuard.
Note that the instructions and tips may re-
quire further explanation depending on vari-
ous factors, such as the experience and skills
of the person doing the work or the tools be-
ing used, and some jobs may require addition-
al (special) tools or measures not described
in the manual.
Furthermore, you will find numerous service
movies on our website www.canyon.com that
will help you carry out small repair and main-
tenance works. For your own safety, never do
work on your bicycle unless you feel absolute-
ly sure about it.
Note: These additional instructions cannot
teach you all the mechanical skills of a bi-
cycle mechanic. Even a manual as big as an
encyclopaedia could not describe every pos-
sible combination of available bicycles and
components.
For this reason this manual focuses on your
newly purchased Canyon Speedmax CF SLX
and standard components by drawing your
attention to important notes and warnings. It
is not, however, suitable to help you assemble
a complete bicycle from the Canyon frameset.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. For
this reason this manual focuses on your new-
ly purchased bike by drawing your attention
to the most important notes and warnings.
This manual cannot teach you riding a bike or
make you familiar with the traffic rules.
Be aware that cycling is a hazardous activity
that requires that the rider stays in control of
his or her bike at all times.
Like any sport, cycling involves a risk of injury
and damage. By choosing to ride a bike, you
assume the responsibility for the risk.
Always bear in mind that on a bicycle you
have no protection technology around you
that could prevent injuries, such as the body-
work or the airbag of a car.
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect
the other traffic participants. Never ride un-
der the influence of drugs, medication, alco-
hol or when you are tired. Do not ride with a
second person on your bike and never ride
without having your hands on the handlebars.
WELCOME
Last of all, a few notes from us. Always ride
carefully so as not to endanger yourself or
others. Make it a habit to only ride with ap-
propriate equipment. At the very least you
should wear a properly adjusted bike helmet,
sturdy shoes and suitable, brightly coloured
clothing.
Your Canyon team wishes you lots of fun with
your Canyon!
Note that the distance you need to
stop your bicycle increases if you
are riding with your hands on aerobars.
The brake levers are not within easy reach.
For your own safety, never do any
assembly or adjusting work on your
bike, unless you feel absolutely sure about
it. If you are in doubt, contact our service
hotline at +44 208 549 6001.
