The Canyon Inflite is a cyclocross bike designed and manufactured by Canyon Bicycles. It's known for its distinctive kinked top tube, a design element intended to improve shouldering comfort while racing. The design also maximizes the main triangle space for shouldering the bike and increases exposed seatpost to allow flexure for added comfort and control. The Inflite has been ridden to victory in multiple Cyclocross World Championships by riders such as Mathieu van der Poel.
Key features of the Inflite include a lightweight carbon frame, aggressive geometry for racing, and internal cable routing on newer models. It also has ample tire clearance, mud-shedding frame profiles, and a custom handlebar/stem combination on some models. The Inflite comes in several models, including CFR, CF SLX, and CF SL. The 2024 models feature a new cockpit adjustable in width, internal cable routing, and Ceramic Speed bottom brackets. Depending on the model, components can include Shimano GRX or Ultegra, or SRAM Rival, Force, or Red eTap AXS groupsets. Availability of specific models may vary by region.
