TT / Triathlon Bike - Canyon Speedmax CF 9.0?

tubsolard

Looking for a Triathlon bike to also use for Time Trial.

Budget is as much as I can convince the missus to allow me to spend but struggling to find a good priced aero TT/Triathlon bike that also comes with Deep-Section rims as I don't want to buy a bike then have to spend on a set of wheels (as seems to be the case for the bottom-mid range TT/Triathlon bikes).

I've landed so far on the Canyon Speedmax CF 9.0 which is probably absolute top end budget at £2650 - not even sure I can justify this yet but to me this is ideal as it appears to be a superb set up which doesn't seem to require any later upgrades.

Anyone got any advise on the bike above? Is it worth paying an extra £350 for the Reynolds Rims on the CF 9.0 SL?

Are there any other bikes in or under this price range that come complete with aero rims?

Thanks.

I think most people will tell you it's a great bike. What you might think about though is getting the cheaper one so you have a training wheel set and then use the money saved to look at getting a 2nd hand disc / more aero front. The time trialling forum is your friend here.
