This is the natural progression of most triathletes.
Starts as a runner. Gets injured. Starts to bike or swim to cross train.
Realize that just running is dumb.
Tries a triathlon
Gets hooked
Does tris for a number of years
Realizes triathlon can be monotonous
Tries trail running and/or adventure biking

From a brand perspective, good on you for a new sponsor. Feels like you are burning a bridge crapping on Ventum by calling them out in the title.

Congratulations on the new sponsorship deal! I'm super pumped that Canyon has recognized you as a valuable resource. I recently sold all of my bikes and I've been keen on finding some new wheels. 👌

great episode... did exactly the same when i spent last winter (before lockdown) on the canary islands, took both the Scott Plasma and a Gravelbike to ride passes, national parks and gravel roads along the coast. opens up your mind and soul.

I'm in the USA and picked up a 2020 Speedmax CF 7.0 just before lockdown and love it! Went head over handlebars breaking my bars and with in a few days I had a replacement pair from Canyon at a discounted price.(Thanks to their outstanding Safety warranty!!) Great customer service and what a fun bike to ride. Enjoy your new ride!

Good choice Taren! I have 4 Canyon bikes (road, MTB, TT and my latest is the same Gravel model as the one you present in this video). I never been disappointed about the quality. The price/quality/equipment ratio is just on of the best you can find on the market I thing. About Gravel bike, I started 4 months ago and I really love it! It's so fun compared to traditional road bike rides!

Thanks Taren, this was a very informative video. You just saved me a trip to San Diego to buy a Canyon bike there. Cheers!

I feel sorry for the guy/girl who dropped money on a Ventum last week because you love and recommend it ...

The Bike industry is really smart. This used to be called “cyclocross bike” and exists for around 100 years

[rickvanduin]

Just bought a new Canyon as well. Really impressed with everything from their customer service to branding, unboxing experience, easy of putting the bike together and of course the performance of the bike itself.

Congratulations on the sponsorship! Canyon is a great company! Looking forward to more unboxing.

Amen Taren, the goal of fitness is to be able to do the things you enjoy. Keep it up!

Eucalyptus oil removes decals without causing any damage. Best stuff ever for that!

Great news about Canada! Thanks for answering the question so many of us have been wondering about ;-).

[andrewluneau]

Makes me appreciate the area I live in. I have a huge library of safe, sleepy, well paved roads that I never get bored.

[hopesteadplanting]

This looks awesome! I’m excited to see where your new bike takes you!!

I love how Taren is working in his shop and brings out the bike stand with no shoes. Watching this makes my toes nervous!
