Does anyone have any actual experience with Canyon? My main concern is figuring out if their claimed weights are accurate.

Good news though tbh Canyon's prices seem to have been drifting up relative to the competition?

No reason why they shouldn't of course as the market is sending them a signal to raise prices

What are you saying?? Are you saying that they raise prices once selling to the USA?? And why. I don't why they would have to.

Why would Canyon raise prices? They're one of the few bike manufacturers making money. They have record profits and will be pushing into a new market, where they want to make a splash, not be part of the crowd. No, I see them undercutting pricing (at least as far as dropping the VAT taxes, which will mean an automatic 18-19% price drop). I'm not saying that prices will automatically be lower in the US vs. the rest of the world, but if cars are an example, US prices will be less than EU prices by a fair amount.

hi - no I didn't say they would raise prices

my impression is their prices have come a bit closer to others' over the past few years, and the market is sending them a signal to raise prices (waiting lists for their product) ...

I agree that compared to years ago, nowdays the gap between Canyon vs Others is getting smaller, mostly from Canyon side.

That is a pretty major price difference.

Personally I like the choices design choices and options on the Canyon better then the BMC. As a GT Grade owner I am happy to see the Endurance category blowing up they are much better choice for a lot of riders than dedicated race bikes.

It certainly is not FUD. There are numerous reports from affected customers on internet forums, news site comments, and social media. I too have experienced first hand unrealiable delivery dates that are postponed time and again.

yes in 2015 deployment of SAP, the delays were historically predictable. Asso had similiar issues when they transitioned to SAP software...

in 2016 these issues have been resolved. SAP main advantage it will speed up entire process..
