Canyon has teased what appears to be a new Aeroad ahead of the Tour de France.<\/p>

Team Movistar riders have been spotted at the Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9 \u2013 a key pre-Tour stage race, prestigious in its own right but often used as a \u2018warm up\u2019 \u2013 riding a slightly different Aeroad design, with two key changes.<\/p>

The integrated front-end has a tell-tale giveaway in the form of Canyon\u2019s \u2018Gear Groove\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>

This feature was first introduced on the new Canyon Grail gravel race bike<\/a>, where an out-front mount, light or aero extensions can be attached to the handlebar via a dedicated mounting point.<\/p>

While the new Aeroad\u2019s bar features the Gear Groove, it doesn\u2019t appear to use the same flared design at the drops as Canyon\u2019s current gravel cockpit.\u00a0<\/p>

What the new bar does appear to retain from the existing Aeroad, however, is the width adjustment \u2013 which, on Canyon\u2019s current bars, allows the rider to tune their fit by 40mm.<\/p>

It’s a very clean front-end. – Liam Cahill \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The integrated bar also seemingly continues to offer stem height adjustment without the need to cut the steerer tube.<\/p>

Canyon introduced its system, which bears a fair resemblance to a quill stem, with the 2020 Aeroad<\/a>. Given the new bar spotted in France does not feature stem bolts, we would assume that the system is still in use.<\/p>
$\"2025$
The seatstays now join the seat tube as one. – Liam Cahill \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Other changes are a little more subtle and can be easily missed in the bike\u2019s relatively unchanged silhouette.<\/p>
$\"2025$
The seat clamp looks familiar. – Liam Cahill \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The back of the bike sees the seatstays join the seat tube without a gap between them.\u00a0<\/p>
This small change is likely to have been made in pursuit of a tiny aerodynamic saving, so it will be interesting to hear from Canyon about its influence on drag.<\/p>
$\"2025$
There appears to be a more angular junction behind the fork crown. – Liam Cahill \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Another small change can be found at the base of the head tube. Here, there appears to be a more angular junction behind the fork crown. <\/p>

But once again, we will have to wait for the official release to know more. Like the new Pinarello Dogma<\/a>, also spotted by BikeRadar at the Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9, we’d expect the new Aeroad to be officially unveiled in the build-up to the Tour de France.<\/p>
