Biking like Mathieu van der Poel
At the first test of strength in the Swabian town of Albstadt, the 26-year-old, who competes for Team Alpecin-Fenix, once again demonstrated his impressive skills on this cross-country bike and confidently won the short track race in the elite class. And at the last World Cup weekend in Nové Město, he also left no doubt with an impressive second place that he should be in the running for overall victory in the still so young racing season.
"I'm very happy to be back on my mountain bike," said van der Poel after his almost two-year absence from the Mountain Bike World Cup. He competed in his last race in Lenzerheide in 2019, as the following year's calendar was already full with road races. The big goal for the season has already been set with Tokyo: "Now it's important for me to collect as many points as possible so that I can start from a good position at this year's Olympic Games."
In cross country, it's the valuable details that ultimately decide whether you find yourself on the podium or chasing the best. With the Lux CF SLX Frameset MVDP, Canyon has taken every last detail into account. This is the key to success and makes this frameset the ultimate centerpiece of your bike for all ambitious professional or amateur racers.The special blue paintwork doesn't just stand out on the starting line. The exclusive details and high-quality equipment also speak for themselves. The top-class carbon frame weighs just 1662 grams (frame size M) and impresses with an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio. If you take a look at the add-on parts, it becomes clear that only the best components are used here. The Fox Factory suspension provides the necessary performance and control to keep the speed high on the increasingly technical sections. At the front, Canyon's CP08 carbon cockpit combines maximum ergonomics and aerodynamics with modern aesthetics. The special shape allows a secure grip in a low, aerodynamic body position. The front view is also enhanced by a discreet MVDP 3D logo on the head tube.
With its high-end frame, premium components and exclusive details, the Lux CF SLX frameset MVDP forms the basis for building the ultimate top-class cross-country race bike. At the starting line of the next race, all that remains is to quote the words on the underside of the top tube behind the shock: "Let The Legs Do The Talking."
The MVDP frameset will be available from May 18 in a limited edition of just 50 for € 3,499* exclusively at canyon.com.
