Let´s take a step back and look at the whole cockpit: There are 3 adjustments to make: Width, length and height.spartacus wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 2:45 pm.... Specialized makes and sells a bike that you can remove the stem from without disconnecting anything, it's not that freaking hard, I am floored that people are in here apologizing for canyon for not offering cockpits as if that's even a remotely acceptable thing.
2 of these 3 you can adjust with the Canyon without buying new items. Even without goint to a bike shop mechanic. Consumers can adjust height and width at home, compleely clean and reversibel.
Only the length ist not adjustable/exchangable at all.
At Specialized Roval you need to buy new items for length and width. For width you you have to remove brake hoses, which the normal consumer ist not able to do at home.
Same with height. Cutting a steerer tube isn´t anythint most consumers can do at home. And it´s non reversible at Specialized.
So, bottom line: At 2 of the 3 possible adjustments, the Canyon has an advantage. At one not.
Judge by our own.
