We’re not allowed to call them chainstays anymore . We must refer to them as (part of) the rear centre… or face forum judgement.

What's amazing with this design is that Canyon have decided a single pivot is good enough to control the axle path, braking behaviour and pedalling behaviour but the leaverage rate requires a 6 bar linkage and all the additional complexity and hardware associated with that.

You just adjust your technique. If you rode exclusively high pivots for a while, then hopped on a more traditional design, it would immediately feel very strange the other way too.

I think I understand where does this build comes from. Hint: one guy dared to ask me: "Is that a gravel bike?"- (It is a rigid flat bar XC rocket with 2.2" tires and really weird bar-ends). Anyway I REALLY LIKE IT Even the name of the frame model is an irony in itself and those lines: "Sometimes you just want your bike to be a bike, you know? And sometimes you want it to be stupid. This is both." - Made me laugh out loud. I like humour but I do not laugh out loud often. Cheers to you...

Is that bike weird? No. It's normal. In fact, its supernormal.

Grovel bike? You'll be govelling with customer support if you ever need a warranty with that brand, HA! Kinda sick actually. Love the drop bar drop post combo. Working on something similar of my own less the suspension fork! I remember my first dropper post (on a 170mm fr/rr NS Soda Air, mind you) was a crotch grab style like that. Always a battle between taking a hand off during a descent to drop the seat after you forgot and just descending with your seat up. Terror indeed.

I believe that Parts&Accessories and budget bicycles typically follow the 40% guidance, but with higher dollar margin items the % drops off significantly. Not hard rules, but P&A is the profit earners for shops.

4/24/2025 2:15pm Sorry KP, I should have specified in my somewhat facetious, off-the-cuff comment that I was talking about complete bikes! Fixed now! I will also add that on the shop end we saw significant degradation in the 40-50% P&A margin across a lot of brands and categories over the last 10 years. Most things stayed in that range but a number...

4/24/2025 1:20pm Uh oh every brand selling complete bikes in the industry except the most entry-est level of hardtail from the biggest brands at their A++ level stores.

Nice to see a business pull the curtain back and lay it out in clear terms.
