Every year, there’s a post-Tour de France flurry of new City cyclers. Many will be riding the latest specced-up racers that would be more at home on Mont Ventoux than Moorgate. But the savvy cyclist would be better investing their money into one of Canyon’s new Urban range. Much of the technology in these new models descends from the pro-racing scene, but they have been designed with the unique challenges of the urban grind at front of mind. The bike’s sleek lines are courtesy of stripped-down components, internal cable routing and neat welds – even the post-mount disc brakes have hydraulic hoses routed through the frame. The 7.0 also has a belt drive – so no more messy oil stains for you, sir.
