Fit talk:
Canyon Speedmax CFR

With rider position playing such a crucial role in performance for triathletes, the Canyon design team must place great importance on optimal saddle selection for their CFR triathlon-series bikes. Join our conversation to learn more about how Canyon match riders with the right seat—and how our Aeris Long Distance saddle ticks all the boxes in terms of speed, comfort and support.

FIZIK Why did you choose Aeris LD saddle for this specific bike?

MH The struggle for a lot of triathletes is to find the right spot on the saddle. But the Aeris Long Distance somehow leads you to finding your personal position very fast.

FIZIK Choosing a saddle for a bike when you don’t know the end user isvery difficult. Could you tell us more on your bike/saddle match selection process?

MH You're right, we don't have the foresight of knowing the exact customer but we can make a very good estimation through decisions based on data about riders, their measurements and their preferences. We also work with multiple pro sports athletes and gather their feedback to match the right saddle with the right bike.

FIZIK What’s your favorite bike ever?

MH For me it has to be the Speedmax CFR: 6-time World Championship winner. Long-distance world record setter. Raced by the strongest roster in world triathlon.

FIZIK Any cool project you’re working on that you can share some details on?

MH We're always collaborating with professional athletes on exciting developments, but it’s a bit early to share details about our 2025 products just yet. Stay tuned to Canyon—we love finding new ways to inspire our community!
