RIP Rim Brakes | Canyon's 6.04kg £9099 Disc-Equipped Superbike

Canyon has announced its lightest ever disc-equipped bike, the Ultimate CF EVO Disc. Claiming to weigh less than 6kg (how much less is not specified), the EVO’s build is exotic and expensive without pushing too far into the realms of show-bike weight weenie insanity. It’s a machine that you could conceivably ride day-to-day and, while it’s expensive, it’s some way off being Canyon’s highest-priced bike.

Canyon has form with weight weenie specials going back to the 2004 Project 3.7, which used heavily modified components to hit a jaw-dropping 3.7kg. The latest EVO is arguably more significant however. Despite its weight (sub-6kg for a medium), its build consists entirely of standard, off-the-shelf components and it has 25mm clincher tyres, 12 whole speeds, and proper disc brakes.
