Canyon and Roth: Speedmax SLX special edition with right to start in the Home of Triathlon

In a race like Challenge Roth, where starting spots sold out in just 43 seconds last year, just getting to the starting line is quite an achievement. After extending the partnership between Canyon and Challenge Roth for a further three years, Canyon is now offering all triathletes who choose the Speedmax the opportunity to compete in Roth.
