Not sure what Canyon does. I've not seriously looked at them yet since I can't ride one first. Perhaps they just use a cheap but good name saddle for all their models thinking that it's going to be replaced anyway.
It's not the quality of the saddle that's the problem. It's the shape, for me. I need what they call a "wave" saddle, because I'm pretty inflexible and roll my pelvis forward, riding with a straight back. AND I have thick thighs. So I need a wave saddle with a narrow nose. A lot of saddles these days seem to be flat, with a wide nose, which just won't work for me, though they work for lots of other people.
Unfortunately for me, Avocet went out of business long ago and nobody's making the O2 Air 40R anymore!
