Canyon Aeroad CF 9.0 Pro (2013)

There is a long list of successes. The world’s best bike of 2011 continues to triumph in the new season and has already clocked up numerous wins for Team Katusha in major UCI WorldTour races. Not surprisingly for a top quality aero racer, the cables are concealed inside the frame. This prevents turbulence around the frame while guaranteeing smooth gear changes. What makes the fork special is that the cables cross each other, providing support and preventing them from rattling in the down tube, even when they are not under tension. The Aeroblade SL carbon fibre fork is another highlight – it uses basalt fibres to deliver maximum lateral stiffness and minimum weight.

When it comes to equipment, only the best will do. The Record groupset has been playing in the premier league for years, offering unbeatable quality and the superior ergonomics of the Ergopower gear shift and brake lever system. French specialists Mavic have developed an Aero race wheelset – the Cosmic Carbone SLR WTS – that can withstand the toughest stresses and deliver outstanding performance. Feel like a pro with the Aeroad CF 9.0 PRO.
