Inside Canyon Bicycles German HQ - Behind the Brands

[@kikuru309]

Terribly filmed but still very interesting. Feels awkward all the time.

[@AK-tl2nm]

Loam Wolf presenter hungover or something!? Canyon staff carrying this one! 😂

[@topdeckdog]

Film making isn't for everyone. Just ask the presenter and Loam Wolf production team 🤦‍♂

[@lihtan]

I always love factory tour videos. It's inspiring to see how the bikes we love get developed, and learn about the lives of the people behind the scenes.

[@TheLoamWolf]

More to come!

[@Emponix]

When I got my Spectral there was a small issue with cross threading on the stem. I reported back to Canyon and only minutes later I got an e-mail confirming that a new stem had been sent. More than I expected for sure so thanks again!

[@weathdone]

that's pretty awesome i got to say.. wish all companies where like that..

[@frankpetermaeder]

@@weathdone That really happend or just marketing fake news for the company? Wide spread over the internet you can read all the bad reviews of customers waiting weeks and months.

[@peter572]

Great company! I have been buying Canyon MTBs for the last 9 years. While packaging has improved considerably over the years, more work needs to be done because customs & carriers abuse the boxes over here in mainland China. I hope e-MTBs become available for sale in China soon!

[@motorex182]

This video is so cool! As a long-time customer, I must admit Canyon is THE BIKE BRAND. Customer experience has been excellent and, you can see in this video how they took this relatively new brand to the next level. I've recently decided to move away from Canyon (my enduro bike) and the horrible experiences I've had so far with the customer support on the "biggest bike brand in the world just made me regret a lot for the change. Anyway, kudos to Canyon!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear about your bad experience with another brand. It can always happen anywhere, but it’s always a bummer

[@MrSupermugen]

odd, ive owned 3 canyons, they've all ended up with new frames. very frustrating, My torque is on its 3rd frame in a few months.

[@scottamolinari]

Great insights to the company and the brand. Obviously there are a lot of proud people working for Canyon. Awesome!!!

[@TivonSanders]

The fact that Canyon's manufacturing is as high tech as it is with the prices they have their bikes at just confirmed to me what I was feeling, which is that this company is among the best in the world. I definitely want a Canyon now.

[@iuspuniendi2077]

What really pisses me off is that the guys at bike shops hate canyon, trying to put off the customer from buying a canyon bike. The problem is, their alternatives offer significantly less value for money. Therefore, I see no reason why I should pay 700 € more for a cannondale, which hasn't even got frames in my size (xxl). As long as every other brand is significantly more expensive, canyon will be making very good money and I will gladly buy bikes from them.

[@TivonSanders]

@@iuspuniendi2077 Do you know why they hate them so much? Maybe the build quality is so darn good that they seldom see a bike shop's mechanics room? Lol

[@Futurepointmusic]

@@TivonSanders probably because canyon doesn't sell through bike shops and thereby cuts them out from the sales process

[@tomh434]

Great video with a really nice amount of detail! Loved seeing how they would've put my bike together 😍 Some constructive feedback would be more engagement with the engineers during the first half of the video would've made it a bit more interesting / higher quality. It just felt a bit awkward at times with the engineers doing all this talking and barely any follow up question to dive into some of the cool things that were being shown. Got better towards the end which I just assume was you guys getting more comfortable! Keep it up 😍😍

[@pavelmach1036]

Canyon Spectral 125 CF7 .. best bike I've ever had !! Thank you from Czechia :))

I would stay to live in Inside Canyon it's INCREDIBLY COOL

[@bradsanders6954]

Ive got 2 Canyons, a 2021 Endurace CF SL Di2, 9600 miles on it and it has worked great! Ive lightened it up a little, it was a great choice for me. So much so I got a 2022 Spectral ON CF8, had never ridden an E Mt bike, but a long time mt bike rider. Its been a blast, E Mt bikes are totally addicting, I still ride my manual mt bike some, but the E really works well. The Spectral seems like it has way more capability than Im capable of using, but Im getting better. The stock spec has been all I need so far, nice bike! Cool to see where they came from!

[@codefields]

Very cool look behind the scenes! Around 10:30 I saw what looked very similar to my frame in the test bed.. I'll be riding that tomorrow, getting close to 8000 km since Nov 2020. I love my Canyon!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for watching! And awesome to hear about the 8000km on your Neuron, that's good going! Enjoy the ride tomorrow

[@lukemtb6800]

I love canyon. I had a stoic for two years and finally saved up enough to buy a spectral. Only rode it twice and had both stolen in a burglary. I will get another one day, I’m saving now for a torque

[@TheLoamWolf]

So sorry to hear about your bikes stolen, hope you had them insured and can get a replacement!

[@lukemtb6800]

@@TheLoamWolf they was insured but my insurance (the aa) got out on the outbuilding limit. Had to take them to the ombudsman but I’m still waiting after 8 months

[@LevoSteve-O]

Love seeing the manufacturing process! Crazy to think how much tech is used in mass producing bikes.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We were very impressed too!

[@carefulsum]

Manufacturing process? Canyon doesn't manufacture any of their frames, it's all OEM from a factory in Asia. All Canyon do is paint and build up the bike in Germany, I hardly call that "manufacturing"

[@mattjns]

This isn’t a manufacturing process. They’re made in China. 👍🏼

[@martinhaba5445]

​@@mattjns Regardless where they are manufactured, the technology and metallurgy in China is actually very good providing you are not driving the price of raw materials to the ground, as then applies you get what you pay for.

[@Riverdancer2.0]

Woowoo! Assembly team! Lovin my neuron. Deciding on spectral specs!

[@StanEby1]

Here is what they say. "We're obsessive when it comes to making the best bikes. That's why we do all our design and engineering at our HQ in Koblenz, Germany." Frames are manufactured in Taiwan. They could just say that. Proudly German. This faculty is not a factory. It's an assembly plant of items made off-shore. Is there one part of their bikes actually made in Germany? I would be more proud to be from Taiwan. That's the truth.

[@TheJoeOption]

This is also basically all of the bike industry (and many other industries). Almost every carbon bike is Chinese or taiwanese made. All the design and engineering work is still usually by the OEM, but there are very very few OEMs that also manufacture frames in house

[@KOL630]

I have a Canyon and my pals rib me about this all the time ‘assembled in Germany made in China’. I mean now I realise they’re made in Taiwan that’s better than China lol. They are far too good value to be made in Germany though I think it’s obvious to anyone buying them that they’re not actually manufactured in Germany.

[@Numeriwar]

"So obsessive to make the best bikes". If that was true they would have stopped selling the Aeroad with that creaky seatube

[@Vladekk]

And raw materials are sourced elsewhere, too. You will insist aluminium to be mined in Germany, oil for dues and lubes and rubber to be be drilled in Germany, et cetera? There are no modern things made in one country anymore, so it is crazy to demand this. You need to be a child not to know how stuff is made and how our world is based on the globalized capitalism.

[@Proviction]

@@KOL630 most manufactures are building frames out of country. All of the quality is in the QC

[@Moondoggy1941]

What is amazing is that it is so quiet for a factory.

[@greggory448]

Highest Value, Best Price 👌

[@photoenduro]

Online stores always sell models from this or last year, an interesting question is what they do with old models, for example where are their bikes from 2010, 2015, 2018?

[@E9G]

Good job Rob, and the team! That's some setup they have!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you Craig, we were very impressed!

[@andyrandy0815]

Impressive insights of the production line

[@ExploringAlabama]

Bummer thing is that any local bike shop can adjust, add, or remove any component that the factory is installing. It's the frame that should be made anywhere but Taiwan. Especially since it probably only cost $300...JMT

[@Antnerd]

Using the same frame for every test rig was a huge not-so-humble brag haha. A technician, say, over tightening a bolt in up front during a seat post test could easily cause a false failure down the line for the head tube, and accepting that risk is showing a lot of confidence in the product for sure.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We were very surprised and impressed too!

[@weathdone]

in up front? wth does 'In up front" mean.. is it that ya'll are trying to speak English cause your not american or something??? LOL and what does over tightening a seat post collar have to do with a head tube false failure ? U totally lost me on this one.. and ur not the first on this vids comments.. LOL u must all not be American

[@zymzymzym]

I am always dreaming of their GRAIL model, unfortunately, it is hard to get a stock from Denmark. The stock of my size is not always available and if it is, just for few seconds and it then suddenly becomes unavailable. Looking forward to get one of their gravel model.

[@sinisakalicanec6823]

Canyon bikes are very good, I have two of them at home right now and I wanted to get a third one now that I'm a little older now and I ride over 40 km every other day in the mountains, so I don't have that much power anymore.😅 in short, everything is fine until something goes wrong with your bike, then problems arise here in Germany. Where I am, 8 out of 10 service stations do not want to receive Canyon bikes because everyone tells me that the wait for spare parts is very long, you can't talk to them on the phone , only via e-mail, you wait for someone to answer you for a day or two, whether you can get a part, or you can't get it, does Canyon accept that amount of cost from the service where you left the bike for repair, so on and so forth, in short horror. For example, I bought a bicycle for my son a few months ago and I sent it to Croatia. A week ago, the hub on the rear wheel of the bicycle broke and now there are problems. Canyon, if you leave it at a local service center, they don't want to pay that cost until they see how much it costs in English or German, does it really matter at all. How much does it cost if something breaks, because Canyon has a six-year warranty. it cost 100 EUR or 150 EUR, it doesn't matter anymore, simply Canyon has to accept that it is so because they don't have their service network in half of Europe, they say that I have to send them bikes to Germany and pay 100 EUR postage because they don't support postage outside of Germany , and they don't have their services in half of Europe.🤷 in short, until they have at least two service centers in every country of the European Union, which take over all the cost of repairs and postage, I will never buy Canyon bikes again, because what they are doing is beyond all logic 🤨

[@Velorize]

👍 Love Canyon Bikes.

[@TheLoamWolf]

[@JamesParus]

Rear world test clearly showed that these bikes should come with rear fender that works and is factory designed. At least as option.

[@trailnix3647]

The greatest i ve seen when i met canyon was the fact, the people in the show room really gives u a advice not a sales pitch... they have no sales commission and u cant buy a bike... and the company does a lot for worklife balance... in summary, witch bike u buy is nowadays a question on your personal taste not quality, cause most brands are on nearly the same level... and thats great for us customer.....🤙

The downside to canyon is their shipping provider. UPS I got my spectral just after Christmas. My Mrs had ordered the torque which never arrived, and it's not the only bike going missing story I've heard recently.

When unboxed I found 1 badly screwed in handle bar holder 3 easy to remove the 4 th was a nightmare to remove and put back in I had to re-thread that hole with dedicated tool. I understand the assembly line has a certain time per station. Perhaps worth taking it to side and send for refurb as things like this do happen. Best of luck to the team!
