I'll bet the electronic gears and suspension account for a fair chunk of the cost!

That's an insane amount of money for a canyon.
Just been looking at a YT Industries Tuesday Comp and I can't believe how much bike you get for 2.2k. I was wondering how long before they hike their prices up too.

The Alu Spectral with Sram X1 is a bargain at just over 2K... Didnt think the CF version would be this much, saying that, Electronic Gearing and Suspension is not going to be cheap!

Given I'm neither a pro racer, nor do I have the winning lottery ticket, I reckon I'll be waiting 5 years for this tech to trickle down to an affordable level.

Have a look at the 2015 Canyon Torque DHX's they look like fantastic value Just had a look and the spec is impressive for the price, especially the Flashzone with the Kashima Fox 40's and Deemax wheels. I think the YT beats it on looks mind. I had my heart set on a Nukeproof Pulse but I think one of these two may be the way forward if I'm honest. |

YT have been testing carbon tues prototypes all year, should be out soon and I bet it will still be a bargain |

It'll soon be as expensive as having a car go wrong, it's getting silly now. They can shove their electric gears up their 'arrisses, for me.  |

Whats wrong with a cable, less to go wrong and easier to fix yourself. Look at my car, never had any handbrake issues in the past , latest car has an electronic hand brake that has fecked twice in 3 years, cant fix it myself so its off to the dealer at about 500 quid a pop to fix. |

Reckon you'll get a 'courtesy bike' while yours is off the road/trail? haha |
