Over the last few years the German bike brand Canyon has stepped into the limelight and at Eurobike they introduced the Concept Speedmax TT bike.
The bike was designed with the Omega Pharma Pro Tour team in mind and will apparently be available in 3 sizes - small, medium and large. The bike we saw in Friedrichshafen was built around a 73 degree seat angle, but we were told that an additional 3 sizes are in the works with triathletes in mind. The bike we are featuring here has been somewhat under wraps at the show, with only the white puzzle test bike inside a glass showcase, but owner Roman Arnold let us spend a few minutes with the black stealth one.

The bike is quite sleek and stealth looking.
A closer look at the integrated front end.
The front brake is neatly tucked inside the fork.
The same is true for the rear brake.
The bike featured a monolink Selle Italia saddle.
Wolfgang Kohl is the responsible engineer for this Concept Speedmax.
During wind tunnel testing different frame elements could be swapped out like puzzle pieces.
