Canyon Factory Racing (CFR) leads the company's development and innovation and sets new standards for first-class products on the market. The new Tempr CFR shoes underline this impressively. Thanks to the most advanced materials, the highest production standards and leading technology partners as well as close collaboration with athletes, Canyon presents a shoe collection that is made for winners.

The new Canyon Tempr CFR shoes perfectly combine stiffness and comfort: they offer sufficient space in the forefoot area for optimal expansion at higher wattages, firmly enclose the midfoot, fix the heel and create the perfect basis for fluid and powerful pedaling.

Expertise in development

Canyon not only drew on the expertise of industry veterans Carl Bird and Eric Horton from FORM8ION to incorporate their knowledge and input into the cutting-edge designs, but also collaborated with partners such as BOA®, Solestar and Vibram. Together, they developed a world-class shoe that top professionals can use to win competitions.

"Our expertise in developing world-class bikes is second to none, so it was clear that we had to apply the same standards to shoe development in order to perfect the crucial connection to the bike," says Stan Mavis, Canyon Global Gear Director.

Innovation and performance

Canyon focused on three challenges during development: optimizing the foot shape for maximum power transfer and comfort, eliminating power loss due to unwanted movement in the shoe and measurably increasing wattage.

The answer lies in three key technologies:

Together with technology partner Solestar®, the PureFit360™ foot shape and the concept of neutral foot positioning for maximum power transfer was integrated into the construction of the shoes. In combination with the CFR full carbon sole developed by Canyon, with a unidirectional carbon layer for targeted stiffness and strength, this enables the best possible power transmission.The PerformFit™ Wrap, developed in collaboration with BOA®, is a strap system that encloses the heel and arch to fix the foot and prevent unwanted movement. The result is comprehensive stability and control, reduced pressure points and thus a perfect connection to the bike.these two technologies combine to create what Canyon calls Percent+. The technology partners and the innovative shoe design ensure highly efficient power transmission, race-ready performance and measurable watt gains compared to conventional shoe closure systems.

"Our first shoe models set new standards right from the start and have already proven themselves at the highest racing level. We are known for challenging the status quo with our design expertise and input from our professionals. With these shoes, we've reached another milestone in innovation," said Mavis.

The shoes have already been worn by Canyon athletes such as Petr Vakoč, Zoe Bäckstedt (below), Luca Schwarzbauer and Dante Young, who have taken victories in gravel, cyclocross and road races this season.

Packed with features

In addition to the latest comfort and fit standard of BOA® and Solestar®, Canyon has also integrated a unique, adaptable stretch tongue. This sock-like construction hugs the foot and provides a supportive, secure feel even when the BOA® dials are not fully closed.

Both the road and off-road shoes have stretch zones in the typical problem areas, which reduce pressure at high wattages. At the widest point of the foot, the material of the shoe is optimized so that it can adapt to the foot and no pressure points occur.

The Tempr CFR off-road shoes come equipped with a Vibram sole with Megagrip™ rubber compound, which offers stability and grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The wide spacing between the cleats minimizes dirt adhesion, improves self-cleaning and allows the cleats to be clicked in effortlessly.

Both shoe models are rounded off by two robust, anodized aluminium BOA® Li2 twist locks. The tried-and-tested fastening system stands for durability and is easy to replace in the event of a defect.  

All shoes have discreet branding - with a small CFR logo on the heel cap and a Canyon logo on the back.  

The Canyon Tempr CFR road shoes are available in white and black, cost EUR 329.95 and weigh 250 g (size 42). The Tempr CFR off-road shoes are available in black with a brown sole or in gray or white with a black sole, also for EUR 329.95 and weighing 290 g (size 42). Both models are available in EU sizes from 36 to 48, with half sizes from 40.5 to 46.5, exclusively via Canyon.com or the Canyon app.
