READER'S RIDE: Max's Canyon Training Bike

When you make a living out of riding fast, you need a fast bike! However, there is always a bike which does all of the work behind the scenes. Sometimes this machine is slightly less glamorous than the race day steed, but it will almost always share the same angles to make sure everything feels familiar come race day.

This is Max Stedman's Canyon Ultimate AL SLX training bike. The only compromise we can see on this bike is the slight weight penalty that comes with alloy. Everything else is top self. From the Dura Ace 9100 components and the all new 36Carbon Wide Aero, it is certainly one fast training bike!

We guess this begs the question - why should training be slow?!

Ride on Max!
