Canyon has finally announced the launch of the new Canyon Aeroad, more than a year since a prototype appeared beneath Mathieu Van der Poel ahead of the 2019 UCI Road World Championships. 

On first impressions, the design is very much in keeping with the modern trend of combining aerodynamics and reduced weight. It features an integrated cockpit, wider tyre clearances and a commitment to disc brakes.
