Key Benefits

  • Swift and Sure. Short chainstays provide great grip and acceleration on loose climbs. OutFront Steering Geometry keeps you comfortably in control on even the nastiest descents.
  • Go Big. Enormous clearance lets you run tires up to 45mm wide for maximum traction, comfort, and flat resistance.

I think he means that only a Full Sus Mtb with Dual bottle cages would have made it to the end

Genuine question (assuming you're not joking): why? 

 

What was in those 250km that would have broken this ~70k bike? 

Or assumed the bike doesn't like snow or the cold?

I would assume that after all the comments about the SRAM brakes packing up, the bike would prefer the cold to the heat.....

The Cedar would have broken this bike up! 

The CEDER broke most bikes up, and all people, from my understanding!

I suspect it is a reference to the crazy conditions... Snow, hectic peanut butter mud and river crossing combined with some treacherous descents at the best of times.

A few guys had brake issues at the Ceder, I am not sure if it was cable disc issues or not though.

If you ask enough people, you will find people who have had issues with pretty much anything.

I have owned a stack of bikes, using both SRAM and shimano. Avid brakes were terrible, initial SRAM road double tap was clumsy, Shimano then went wiffy with a wandering bite point on their brakes with seals around the lever piston being made of cheese. The reverse pressure RD was rubbish..... I have a list of gripes a mile long for both companies.

In saying all that, actual product failure outside of crash damage has eluded me over hundreds of thousand of km

I would suggest you read the thread relating to this if you are genuinely interested. It explains exactly how Canyon in SA will now be run and by whom. 

Great ... you always seem to know everything...thanks for the advice

I know you're being facetious, but the Canyon thing was discussed here over various pages of it's own thread, facts were laid out, contact information was shared and the new model for Canyon SA was introduced and confirmed by various parties. So in this, I don't know nor do I care, but the thread has ALL the information that will shed light on your misinformation re Canyon no longer being imported to SA.
