Canyon Bicycles USA has recalled about 1,400 Speedmax CF Triathlon Bicycles due to an injury risk.
The recall involves Speedmax CF Triathlon Bicycles (R41 / R073) fitted with the V21 Aerostem. The problem is that the V21 Aerostem fork steerer tube on the recalled bicycles can crack or break.
Canyon said it “discovered a safety issue in the fork steerer tube” and is urging customers to immediately stop using the bicycles due to a risk of serious injuries, explaining:
“It is possible that after a severe impact or high load situation, like hitting a pothole at speed, the fork steerer tube could crack or break. This could lead to the cockpit becoming detached and cause a loss of control and potential injury to the user.”
The recalled bicycles were sold at Canyon.com from May 2017 through July 2024 for between $4,000 and $5,000.
Consumers should contact a Canyon Authorized Service Parter to schedule a free inspection and repair.
The repair will include removal and inspection of the fork steerer tube, a fork replacement (if needed) and preventative reinforcement of the clamping area of the fork steerer tube.
