Inside Kasia Niewiadoma’s Custom-Painted MyCanyon Motorbike as She Races Omloop

Kasia Niewiadoma completed Omloop Het Nieuwsblad inside the protection of the bunch after the breakaway made it to the end. Lotte Claes sprinted to victory after her breakaway significant other Aurela Nerlo hit out early simply within the closing kilometre.

Niewiadoma raced on a brand-new, custom-painted Canyon Aeroad CFR, which will likely be to be had to buy on-line – one thing that is not at all times the case with professional rider tradition paint jobs. 

This week, Canyon introduced its first tradition motorbike programme, named MyCanyon. 

The brand new venture permits shoppers to make a choice from curated tradition paint and spec choices for Canyon Aeroad CFR motorcycles, even though we perceive shoppers will not be able to spec their desired crank duration, which would possibly irk some. Canyon says extra fashions will likely be added to the programme in time. 

There will likely be 3 tiers of paint choices to be had for MyCanyon frames, and Niewiadoma raced Omloop at the top-tier Felipe Pantone-designed motorbike from the MyCanyon Opus assortment. 

Pantone is an Argentinian-Spanish artist whose MyCanyon design specializes in the “organised chaos” of pace. The emblem claimed the design calls for “a deeply complex paint job that is extremely hard to pull off”. 

Opus version MyCanyon motorcycles lift a $1,500 surcharge; the frames are hand-painted and can all be distinctive. We needless to say different professional riders will trip other designs at quite a lot of races over the following couple of months.
