Since 2002, Canyon has built an enviable reputation as one of the leading brands in the world of cycling. Canyon is now transferring this expertise to footwear with the launch of its Tempr CFR range of shoes designed for racing on route, XC mountain biking or gravel racing.

Canyon's Factory Racing (CFR) range is the pinnacle of the company's research and development expertise, distilled into world-class products. Using the finest materials, quality manufacturing, and the knowledge, expertise and dedication of industry experts and professional racers, the Tempr CFR range is Canyon's performance-focused shoe.

The all-new Tempr CFR shoes are designed to strike the right balance between speed and comfort, giving the forefoot room to flex, locking in the heel and hugging the foot to provide a platform for smooth pedal strokes.

Development expertise
Canyon not only enlisted the expertise of industry veterans Carl Bird and Eric Horton of FORM8ION to provide insight and input into cutting-edge designs, but they also worked with partners like BOA, Solestar and Vibram to create a top-tier shoe that allows its athletes to win world-class races.

“Our expertise in bicycle development is unmatched, so it was natural that we also bring this world-class talent to footwear development, completing the connection between rider and bike." said Stan Mavis, Global Director of Canyon's Gear.

Innovation and performance
Canyon focused on addressing three challenges during development: how to optimize shoe shape for power and comfort, how to eliminate wasted motion, and how to gain watts measurably.

The answer lies in three main development technologies:

In collaboration with Solestar, Canyon co-developed its PUREFIT360 sockliner to contour to the foot and naturally move the foot, returning it to a neutral position for maximum power transfer without compromising comfort. The Tempr CFR also features Canyon’s full-length CFR carbon fiber internal plate. These two technologies combine to deliver maximum power transfer in a shoe that’s comfortable to wear over long distances.

In collaboration with Boa, Canyon has developed the unique PerformFit Wrap system to encircle your heel and arch, controlling the instep and locking the heel in place, eliminating unnecessary movement of the foot in the shoe and providing freedom from pressure points on the arch.
These two technologies create what Canyon calls Percent+, where its technology partners and shoe design deliver efficient power transfer, race-oriented performance and measurable wattage gains over conventional shoe closure systems.

“Our first shoes out of the box push peak performance and have already proven themselves at the highest levels of racing. We are known for challenging the status quo through our design expertise and input from our athletes. With these shoes, we have taken the next step in innovation.”, Mavis said.

The shoes are in the spotlight thanks to Canyon athletes such as Petr Vakoč, Zoe Bäckstedt (pictured below), Luca Schwarzbauer and Dante Young, who have won races in Gravel, Cyclocross, XCO, XCC and on route elite level this season.

Feature-rich shoes
In addition to the latest BOA and Solestar fit performance, Canyon has also incorporated a unique sock-like stretch tongue material to comfortably hold the foot. The shoes route and all-terrain also feature pressure relief zones built into typical hot spot areas to provide a supportive yet flexible balance.

Additionally, two anodized aluminum Boa Li2s provide multi-directional, efficient and precise adjustment that is both durable and replaceable.

On the off-road shoes, a Vibram Megagrip outsole provides best-in-class traction.
