Loana Lecomte's and Mathieu van der Poel's Canyon bikes wear classic Scottish tartan for the Glasgow World Championships

Canyon CLLCTV riders will debut customized models for the World Championships in Glasgow. The bikes of Van der Poel or Loana Lecomte, among others, have been customized with colors and graphics that pay homage to the super World Cup venue.

Van der Poel's and Loana Lecomte's Canyon bikes wear the Scottish tartan for the Glasgow World Championships

There are many theories and explanations about the classic tartan patterns that we can see on skirts, kilts and other typical Scottish garments, but one of the most widespread is that each pattern represents a clan. So Canyon wanted to pay tribute to the host of the 2023 Cycling Super World Championships and has customized the frames of its cyclists with a tartan for each bike model.

 

The Canyon Lux on which Loana Lecomte or Mathieu van der Poel will race at the XCC/XCO World Championships features a silver and black finish with black and red checkered tartan details. In addition, each rider will have his or her name printed on the frame.

 

For the Road World Championships on Sunday, August 6th, Van der Poel and the rest of the Canyon CLLCTV riders will be racing on an exclusive Canyon Aeroad CFR in a grey tartan plaid.

 

In downhill, the chosen pattern is yellow and stands out against the black and silver colors of Australian Troy Brossnan's Canyon Sender CFR.

 

The new Canyon Speedmax CFR Track and Speedmax time trial bikes also have their own colors, green for the time trial and blue for the velodrome.
