Anyone interested in the replica of the Omega-Pharma-Lotto team bike will have to search for a long time on the Canyon website. But the bike has no need to hide. The frame and equipment are among the best on offer in this price range. Campa's "Athena" groupset in particular makes a first-class impression with its finely stepped gearing, excellent shifting precision, easy to modulate brakes and easy-to-grip shift levers. Otherwise, the frame impresses with qualities that have already earned it several top placings in TOUR tests: in addition to superior directional stability and the best power transmission, the outstanding comfort on the saddle is particularly impressive. The only criticism of the otherwise convincing package is the somewhat rough weld seams. We've seen better on this model.
