When the bike with the unwieldy name came out of the test lab, the editors had to swallow. Never before has a frameset performed so well in the TOUR test. Canyon does everything it can to build the perfect bike according to TOUR criteria and comes surprisingly close to achieving this goal. The brand's image, which has long since been transformed into a technological pioneer, is thus further polished. In terms of handling and riding pleasure, the "Ete 201" - the name is a reference to Erik Zabel's 201 professional victories - is a sensation, everything fits and works perfectly. The exclusive equipment contributes to the outstanding overall impression, even persistent opponents of the brand will struggle to find a weak point. The independent, very technical-looking bike also appeals to most onlookers straight away. It is also good value for money: where else can you find such a light bike with "Super Record" equipment and lightweight wheels for 6,000 euros?
