Canyon stands for German engineering, progressive development, and an uncompromising understanding of quality.
One of the most innovative bicycle brands in the world
What once began in founder Roman Arnold's garage has grown over the years to become the world's largest direct-to-consumer manufacturer of road bikes, mountain bikes, triathlon bikes, gravel bikes, city bikes, trekking bikes, and e-bikes. Canyon has earned its literally outstanding reputation as an innovative company through its consistent use of advanced materials, ideas, and technology.
Canyon's characteristic, elegant, and modern design language is unmistakable and stands out from the crowd. In addition to the pure joy of competition and the constant drive for growth, Canyon strives to make the global cycling community accessible to everyone. Canyon supports some of the best athletes on the planet. The shared mission, “Inspire to Ride,” underscores the company's commitment to inspiring people to discover the fascinating world of cycling.
Canyon looks back on an exciting development
A small bicycle repair shop founded in the mid-1980s under the name “Radsport Arnold” became a pioneer in direct sales. The first bikes sold under the Canyon name appeared in the mid-1990s, and the transition from traditional dealer to manufacturer took place in 2001. Since then, Canyon has consistently pursued the concept of “design and development in Germany, sales exclusively through direct distribution.”
The company grew rapidly, establishing itself through technological innovation, modern design, and direct customer contact, and is now one of the world's leading premium bicycle brands. The awards it has received—for design, innovation, and corporate culture, among other things—underscore the seriousness with which Canyon has developed its products and processes.
"Canyon bikes stand for uncompromising performance, versatility, and innovative strength."
