Today sees the launch of the brand new Canyon Sender, and I’m going to take you behind the scenes of its development! I’ll be chatting with top World Cup racer Troy Brosnan and his mechanic Aaron Pelttari to find out about their input to the project. Including the secret testing they have been doing, what wheel size Troy will be running in 2021 and why. Then I’m joined by Canyon’s lead engineer on the project, Moritz Ströer. We will be getting into more of the engineering detail of the bike. What does a project like this look like? What sort of testing are they doing? How do Canyon make decisions about key aspects of the bike?
If you’ve ever wondered what goes into producing bikes capable of taking the win at the top level of the sport, then this episode is a must-listen. So hit play, and check out this episode all about the development of the new Canyon Sender.
Troy and Aaron – 3:45 to 43:00
