Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Canyon's carbon frames are made in Taiwan - same factory as Trek.

Not doubting that they’re made in Taiwan, but do you happen to have a recent reference?

This is the brand that was once called 'remot' or whatever, then changed to 'ocoee' a year later, and a year after that is now 'obed'.

The frames are all carbon and Im pretty sure are made over in Asia. Oh, and that parent company is really struggling to find a brand name that works.
Heh, don't tell them that "obed" means "lunch" in Russian. Nice bikes, though.

When I bought my CF Grail in 2018, all the articles said it was made in the same factory with high(er) end Treks - Quest Composite Technology Corp, in Taiwan. It would not surprise me if they had factories in mainland china also.

If you're interested, my 2020 Kona Honzo (XL frame)--while not a gravel bike--was labeled "Cambodia." It's been awesome, although one the Kona Wah Wah pedals I bought with it had the bearing seize. I don't recall where the pedals were made.
