2 WELCOME
Dear Canyon Customer,
We have summarised for you in these addi-
tional instructions for the bicycle manual road
bike a large number of tips concerning the use
and handling of your Canyon Speedmax CF
and which take into account the differences
between this and a conventional bike.
The chapters here supplement or even re-
place the relevant section in the bicycle
manual road bike. Thoroughly read through
these additional instructions and the bicycle
manual road bike and then
carry out exactly the assembly instructions
given in the chapter "Assembly from the
BikeGuard".
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 Speedmax CF 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 unless
it has passed the functional check one hun-
dred 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 pro-
vided in your manual only refer to this Canyon
Speedmax CF and that they do not necessar-
ily apply to other bikes. due to numerous de-
signs and model changes, it may be that some
of the routines are not described in every de-
tail. For that reason it is essential to follow the
additional instructions of our component sup-
pliers on the data medium and, if applicable,
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 jobs. For your own safety, never do
work on your bicycle unless you feel abso-
lutely sure about it.
Please note: These additional instructions
cannot teach you all the mechanical skills of a
bicycle 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 bicycle and standard com-
ponents by drawing your attention to the most
important notes and warnings. It is not, how-
ever, suitable to help you assemble a com-
plete bicycle from the Canyon frameset.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride a
bicycle. For this reason this manual focuses
on your newly purchased bicycle by drawing
your attention to the most important notes
and warnings. This manual cannot teach you
to ride a bicycle or make you familiar with the
traffic rules.
Please 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.
WELCOME
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect
the other road users. Never ride under the in-
fluence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when
you are tired. do not ride with a second per-
son on your bike and never ride without hav-
ing your hands on the handlebars.
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 and
enjoyment with your bike!
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 adjustment work on
your bike, unless you feel absolutely sure
about it. If you are unsure about anything,
please call our service hotline +44 (0) 208
