Sometime collaborations just fit like a hand into a fleece lined glove on a cold day. The Rapha and Canyon link up has proved immensely successful over the last few years, so it wasn’t going to be too long before a limited edition bike was made to celebrate this matrimony.

RCC club colours fading from black to grey with pink details.

Designed by Rapha’s in-house team there will be 50 limited edition Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 9.0 Aero bikes produced which will be available to members of the Rapha Cycling Club by invitation only. The RCC synonymous grey, pink and black club colours are incorporated on the frame with a fade detail. The full build will be available for € 7,000.

Rapha designer, Patrick Wylde-Mafham says: “The details in the frame really make it – each frame is unique to the owner, with their personal RCC number and chapter logo.”
