With the all-new Roadlite:ON, Canyon is expanding their fitness bike portfolio with a powered model that, according to the German brand, is so much more than just a fitness bike with e-support. You can find out all the most important information here.

Inspired and based on technology derived from its road bike models, the Canyon Roadlite models have represented a performance-focussed interpretation of a fitness bike since their introduction. The release of the Roadlite CF with its carbon frame in 2018, sent a particularly clear message about how the German direct-to-consumer brand understands fitness: performance, control and comfort all fully integrated into the core of the Canyon brand.

Like the entire motor unit, the control unit of the FAZUA Evation system blends in well with the overall aesthetics of the Roadlite:ON

According to Canyon, the addition to the Roadlite family of the Roadlite:ON and its FAZUA Evation motor continues the theme. “Powered by the Fazua Evation drive system, the Roadlite:ON provides significant assistance, but assistance that always feels natural and unobtrusive as you pedal. The system’s low weight of only 4.6 kg means the whole build tips the scales at a meagre 15 kg, giving the bike agile, sharp handling – and giving the rider the stability and confidence to attack in high-speed sections,” says Canyon.

Aesthetics and function: the in-house CP04 carbon cockpit underlines the design of the Roadlite:ON

The aluminium frame shares technology and design elements of other Canyon frames with typical details such as the internally routed cables. Additional features include a carbon fork and flat-mount disc brakes. The complete package is rounded off with a wide-range 1x mountain bike groupset, the comfortable Canyon VCLS seat post and the Canyon’s own, in-house CP04 cockpit.

With the Canyon Roadlite:ON, the German direct-to-consumer brand presents a visually coherent concept that will facilitate the daily commute of many customers. We are looking forward to a first test ride, but we can’t help but wonder: is the Roadlite:ON Canyon’s first foray into the E-road bike market? We’ll keep our ears to the ground!
