Many think so. That said, I don't know that they have done a lot of damage in the UK, but I don't live there, so I really cannot comment any further on that. Here in the US? In my opinion they've barely made a dint. <br /><br />Canyon Bikes are a different animal. They have the scale of a Trek, Giant, or Specialized in terms of their offerings and ability to produce that range. Their engineering horsepower is as good, maybe even better than, any bicycle company's engineering. <br /><br />On One/Planet X is not at that level, clearly. They do have a lot of products, but they, in my opinion, do not operate at the same level as Canyon, and appeal to an entirely different customer base. On One/Planet X has tried to crack the US market but I haven't seen a lot of influence here. Canyon on the other hand will have a big influence.

I'm asking you because A, you work in the industry B, I know you've owned at least one of their bikes and C,I'm really interested in their London Road model. It looks like a lot of bike for the money and I think they really got the geometry right although I'm not a big fan of aluminum frames. I'm not looking for a bike review but was wondering if you think they're an ethical company with a good product. Or are they just out to pile'em high and sell'em cheap and cut the throats of the LBS.<br />Phillip Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553979458131339924noreply@blogger.com
