Canyon's bike customisation programme makes me want to sell my car
If you're someone who's ever spent hours daydreaming about the perfect bike setup, Canyon's new MyCanyon customisation programme might just push you over the edge – straight into your savings account. Now available to customers across Europe, MyCanyon lets you tailor one of the brand's top-tier road bikes – the Aeroad CFR – down to the smallest detail. For example, want Zipp 454 wheels and a custom paint job from Felipe Pantone? You got it. Prefer DT Swiss hoops and a name sticker on the frame? That's there too. This is the kind of configurator you lose hours to, not out of frustration, but because it's genuinely fun. Launched earlier this year in the US and parts of Asia, MyCanyon arrives in Europe with expanded features. It's not just about flashy colours, though you'll find three artist-designed frame collections and an upcoming artwork drop. You can also dial in comfort and performance by adjusting saddle, stem, wheels, tyres and even your handlebar's aero profile. You can even spec Canyon's latest CP0048/49 bars, which drop the position of the rider in a lower, more compact riding position to save up to 14 watts. Even better, the whole experience happens online or via the Canyon app, with a smooth UI and neat 3D AR visualisation tool. You can spin your bike, zoom in on paint details, and get a live preview of your dream build before ordering. Once you hit buy, you can track its build progress step-by-step. Pricing starts from €10,499, depending on how fancy you go with the finish and bits. Sure, that's well into used car territory. But if you're the kind of rider who thinks a two-wheeled rocket that looks like rolling street art sounds better than a second-hand hatchback, this is your moment. Liked this?

Cycling brand Canyon lets people make their own custom bikes
Cycling brand Canyon says it will now let people design their own bikes. The new scheme, named MyCanyon, lets people choose a custom-built bike with their own design as well as choosing the fit and specific components. The company likened it to the custom work that is done for the professional cyclists that it sponsors. But it will be offered to anyone who wants to buy it – as long as they are ready to pay the very high prices that it will ask for the new products. The announcement comes amid a wave of technology-focused personalisation among fitness companies. Running shoe brand On, for instance, has recently highlighted its 'LightSpray' technology – in which a robotic arm sprays the upper part of the shoe to make custom footwear in minutes. It will also not let people actually design the bikes themselves, saying that it had instead 'taken a curated approach to artwork after carefully studying painting techniques to achieve some of the most spectacular frame designs it has ever produced'. But the bikes are hand-painted and customers can choose to have their name printed on it as if they are a professional cyclist. For now, the custom bikes are available on Canyon Aeroad CFR, which already starts at £4,000 and goes to nearly £10,000. Cyclists will then have to pay at least $500 as an upgrade to have the bike customised. Sign in to access your portfolio
