The impressive 250-gram weight saving on the frame is due to the use of special 40T UD carbon fibers, which at the same time further increase the tensile strength of the main frame and rear triangle. To pay tribute to this engineering achievement, the Canyon designers have given the CF SLX frame a very special finish: minimal colored "Tinted Black" clear lacquer allows the pilot a clear view of the carbon fiber structures on the top tube at all times.
