Canyon//SRAM reveals striking new bikes and kit

Canyon//SRAM Racing launched in November to take the lead in the inaugural UCI Women’s WorldTour. Bringing together the best riders to compete with some of the best equipment available, the team is now proud to reveal a bold and dynamic design to match its high ambitions.

The team will be using Canyon Ultimate WMN CF SLX bikes which claims to deliver a combination of lightness, stiffness, comfort and aerodynamic performance. Kitted out with SRAM’s eTap groupset and a selection of Zipp wheels, Canyon//SRAM Racing riders will be racing some of the best and most stylish equipment on the market.

Tiffany Cromwell will be the first rider to debut the new Canyon//SRAM Racing kit as she competes throughout the Australian summer over the coming weeks in preparation for the 2016 Australian National Championships.

I like it. Do you think all SRAM sponsored teams will switch to eTap for 2016? And do you think SRAM will be sponsoring more teams? Or failing that, will more teams NOT sponsored by a groupset manufacturer opt for SRAM over Shimano?

Me too, I like the kit as well as the bikes and their design. Not at all to be compared to the poor ladies who had to ride Liv’s chliché-dripping womens’ frames. Instead, Canyon-SRAM managed a female and elegant (as one rider put it), but professional and really “racy” appearance, something lacking way too long in the womens’ field, in my opinion. There are many good female riders out there; so why not provide them with the best kit available?

The only thing I don’t like is that they only have 9 riders. Bigger teams will be at an advantage in case of riders falling ill or not delivering at their best: They can let several riders take a break mid-season while still providing for, lets say, two teams at different stage races at the same time or directly after one another.
