Except side to side rocking forces are not accommodated on a trainer, as the bike is held vertical by those clamps. And while it's not likely to fail, the 'funny' bit is that Canyon is one of the few bike makers that wouldn't cover a fail under their warranty terms; using a direct drive trainer which is the preferred Zwifter's tool of choice.
