Canyon is a premium, performance-oriented cycling brand based out of Kublenz, Germany. The brand is popular for its high-end mountain bikes, road bikes, and gravel bikes, but also has an impressive lineup of electric bicycles which, apart from covering the bases of competitive cycling, also include a range of practical, urban-focused runabouts.
One of these models is the Precede:ON, which is offered in either step-through or step-over version. The bike has been offered in the European market for some time now, and is now set to enter the U.S. market. Needless to say, the bike is well and truly in the premium segment, with the most affordable version retailing for $3,000.Performance line powertrain that powers the Precede:ON in the U.S. has been upgraded to support the pedal-assist 28-mile-per-hour speed limiter in the United States.
With a full carbon frame, a powerful Bosch Performance Speed motor, and a light 500-Watt-hour battery with a 40-mile range, the $4,300 Anchor Grey Precede:ON CF8 is a premium urban ebike. Only the sloping toptube version of the carbon ebike is available in the U.S. It has a Shimano XT 1x12 drivetrain with TRP brakes, a carbon cockpit with an integrated Kiox display, and Schwalbe G-One Allround tires that mesure 29 x 2.25 inches.
The Champagne aluminum Precede:ON 5 costs $3,500, and comes in either a ST Step-Through model with the Bosch Sport 500/625Wh powertrain, or a sloping frame layout like the carbon model. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, a Deore 1x11 drivetrain, and the same gravel tires are all included.
