What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported. While the hazard involves a structural defect that could cause falls and injuries, the rubric specifies that risk-of-harm products without reported injuries score at most 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Canyon Bicycles USA is recalling about 1,400 Speedmax CF triathlon bicycles (models R073 and R41 with V21 aerostems). The bicycles were sold through Canyon.com between May 2017 and July 2024 for between $4,000 and $5,000. Additional units were sold in Canada.

The aerostem fork steerer tube on these bicycles can crack or break, which poses a fall and injury hazard to riders.

The recalled bicycles are available in black/red, black/blue, gray/orange, and red and black color variants. They are marked with "Canyon" on the downtube, "Speedmax" on the top tube, and "V21" on the left side of the stem. The model number can be found on a sticker at the top of the seat tube, just below the saddle.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact a Canyon Authorized Service Partner to schedule a free repair, which includes inspection and replacement of the fork steerer tube if needed, as well as preventative reinforcement of the clamping area. Canyon Bicycles USA can be reached toll-free at 833-226-9661 from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or online at canyon.com/en-us/customer-service/ for more information.
