The event offers racing from 100 km up to the mammoth 560 km event, with the 360 km taking centre stage as the marquee event. That race is around 25 miles (40 km) longer than Unbound 200. This year, Canyon invited Escape along to try out some products. I can’t yet tell you all the juicy details about what was shown, which will come in the coming months. Instead, all I can share for now is what everyone else at the event could see – a new gravel fork. This isn’t the first time this fork has been spotted in the wild, with Canyon athlete Freddy Ovett teasing the fork for the last few months on his Instagram page. This is, however, the first time I have got up close and personal with the fork. I can tell you that it isn’t the only interesting thing on this bike.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Freddy Ovett (@freddyovett) Both Canyon and DT Swiss had branding clearly positioned on the lower stanchions of the new suspension fork. To take a closer look I got my hands on Rad Pack athlete Mate Nagy's bike after the Traka 200 This will be the question on the lips of everyone who looks at this bike Although Fox, RockShox and Cane Creek have long offered gravel-specific suspension forks this corner of the market has been slow to gain speed Suspension-equipped gravel bikes remain rare typically seen at the adventure end of the spectrum Although Cannondale has tried with the Topstone Lefty and Canyon with the Grizl Trail neither bike got the masses excited about gravel suspension and its appearance on race bikes remains as rare as rocking horse droppings With the unreleased fork being used at Traka and mounted to the Grail, all things point to Canyon and DT Swiss believing the next frontier of gravel performance lies in suspension.  While wider tyres and lower pressures improve comfort and traction a suspension fork can offer performance benefits far beyond what rubber alone can achieve Adding a damped active suspension provides more controlled travel which can help in technical sections with line choice as well as reducing cumulative race fatigue.  There have always been two concerns with suspension forks in gravel racing there’s an unavoidable truth: a suspension fork is significantly heavier than a rigid carbon one RockShox's Rudy Ultimate XPLR weighs in at a claimed 1,250 grams meaning you're adding almost a kilogram over a standard carbon fork The exact weight of this fork cannot be disclosed yet but it is fair to assume it is in the same ballpark as the RockShox offering.  The other thorn in the gravel suspension fork's side is aerodynamics a round-tubed suspension fork is always going to come at an aero penalty compared to a conventional bladed carbon fork.  As races are being won at ever-increasing speeds the aerodynamic impact of a suspension fork is seemingly too great for most athletes to use in gravel races What this fork does have is a slender bottom section that appears longer than that found on the Rudy or the Fox 32 Taper Cast but the fork’s chassis design looks to be an attempt to minimise the penalty The suspension fork has a concealed inflation valve that sits under a hatch on the right-hand side of the crown (when looking at it from a rider's perspective) something far more interesting is going on.  Escape Collective is 100% membership-funded with no advertising and no affiliate links in our product coverage Our work is only possible through your support Our Member Purchase program offers discounts of 20% or more from participating brands like Velocio Hunt Wheels and more (we get no revenue from your purchases; this is purely a member benefit) Already have an account?

There are aftermarket options from Fox There’s the leaf-spring style suspension fork from Lauf and there was even the Niner MCR full suspension gravel bike Which all leads back to a question of what’s new in this Canyon launch The Canyon Grail is the brand’s race focused gravel bike and the leaks are happening under a gravel racer focused on the Traka gravel race Is it possible that Canyon has something not immediately visible in these images Could suspension make a comeback in the gravel race segment and it’s paired with drastically larger tires than the 650bx42 that the Slate sported is this just an acknowledgement of what a certain segment of riders have said all along about tire size Obviously these questions aren’t going to be answered today but this fork could be launched very soon given it’s being used in real-world testing What’s it like to be an American cyclist living in France Watch to get professional road cyclist Joe Dombrowski’s view In a move that could shake up the U.S. bike-buying experience, Canyon Bicycles is now selling select models directly through Amazon.com Amazon—the same one that gets you ibuprofen and whatever in 48 hours or less- will now be shipping you a premium bicycle Update: Canyon has given a little bit more explanation on how this is just another way to make their affordable bikes more accessible to more potential cyclists Canyon’s always been the poster child for the direct-to-consumer model in the bike industry delivering high-performance bikes at competitive prices by cutting out the middleman they’re expanding that strategy by teaming up with the largest online retailer in the world and less friction when pulling the trigger on a new ride Canyon’s Amazon storefront currently features a curated selection of its popular models—think commuter e-bikes like the Roadlite:ON and urban cruisers—with more reportedly on the way These aren’t stripped-down versions either; they come fully loaded just like if you ordered straight from Canyon’s site The price points look aligned with Canyon’s own listings Canyon had explained that this Amazon partnership is meant for the more affordable spectrum of their bikes (think: less than $3500 or so) and focused exclusively on mountain bikes and other all-rounder bikes and bikes bikes The goal is really just to make affordable bikes easier to access for more riders while maintaining all of the customer service you get directly from Canyon it’s not all that different for the ‘already consumer-direct’ bike brand to make their bikes available through the USA’s most popular direct to consumer shopping platform you still get the full Canyon warranty and customer care directly from the bike maker If you’ve ever hesitated to purchase a Canyon because of long delivery timelines the path from “add to cart” to “ready to rip” just got smoother and support directly—Amazon’s just one more distribution channel And while we’re not seeing race machines like the Aeroad or Lux Trail on there just yet the move suggests Canyon’s opening the throttle on accessibility maybe even testing the waters for broader market expansion Canyon plans to limit this only to more ‘entry-level’ bikes and doesn’t yet include their dedicated road platforms The Amazon distribution deal is also US-specific with no immediate plans to do the same in their home European market But it’s not entirely unheard of for them to partner with other delivery pathways – they have had a similar quick ship functioning for a while to consumers in China The bottom line is that you can now buy a Canyon bike with your groceries Canyon.com or now also Amazon.com Jordan Villella is the Racing Tech Editor for BikeRumor.com He has written about bicycles and bike culture for over fifteen years with no signs of stopping Jordan raced professionally and wrote for MTBR and the now-defunct Dirt Rag Magazine He’s covered the World Championships and everything in between — where he loves to report what people are riding Based in Pittsburgh, PA, Jordan coaches cyclists of all abilities with Cycle-Smart; you can find him racing bikes around North America and adventuring with his family For an inside look at his review rides follow him on Strava Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Springs Resort in LaVerkin This rendering shows the family area of the Zion Canyon Hot Springs Resort in LaVerkin At an open house near the LaVerkin Hot Springs last month area civic leaders and business officials gathered at the newly constructed Zion Canyon Hot Springs Resort for information and tours to hear plans about an opening later this summer “We are incredibly excited to be here in the area,” Maggie Cope vice president of marketing for Zion Canyon Hot Springs “It’s a great time to come in and enjoy the natural hot springs as well as the mineral springs right here in beautiful LaVerkin.” The hot springs resort will feature 53 pools split between a family and 21-plus adult areas and sits near state Route 9 northeast of the Hurricane-LaVerkin Bridge The 15-acre property consists of three acres leased from the Washington County Water Conservancy District swimsuit dryers and 1,200 RFID lockers that use chip-enabled wristbands to access a family area has various smaller pools and one large freshwater pool A smaller building houses the resort’s bar and café and an adjacent gate separates the family area from the adult side of the property “Each one of them is inspired by famous hot springs from around the world,” Cope said explaining that these pools will have an identical mineral mix to well-known hot springs like the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and the hot springs of the Dead Sea the world springs will boast the same health benefits associated with each one that inspires them “You’re getting a tour of the world right here in LaVerkin,” Cope said Thirty-two pools spread across the family and the 21-plus area are filled with water piped from the LaVerkin spring in the canyon nearby Some of the pools will also be filled with heated geothermal waters from the hot spring Cope added that water from the hot spring goes through the resort’s filtration system and removes the minerals and elements that create the sulfur smell natural hot springs are famous for This includes the salt that would otherwise enter the Virgin River “Most of our build out is actually in the water pumping system that’s removing the H2S gas and making it safe for use and also getting rid of that rotten egg smell,” Cope said flammable and highly toxic gas with a characteristic foul odor of rotting eggs It is highly toxic to humans and most animals and can be deadly Water district officials have been a great asset as partners in helping the resort make sure it operates safely and benefits both the environment and visitors “They have been heavily involved in the project to make sure it’s the best facility possible,” Cope said Water filtered and used by the resort is returned to the Virgin River in a cleaner state than when it was taken According to the Washington County Water Conservancy District the hot spring produces approximately 5,000 gallons of water a minute which translates to up to 7 million gallons daily at an average temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit The spring also dumps 109,000 tons of salt into the Virgin River which makes its way down the Colorado River This has created water quality and use issues downstream that the water district and federal agencies have been working to address Before the hot springs’ closures in 2013 due to health and safety concerns, it was a popular recreation site for locals since the late 1800s With nearly 5 million visitors to Zion National Park last year Zion Canyon Hot Springs is considered a great tourist attraction as it's 30 minutes from the park While the resort is bound to draw visitors from near and far Cope said it is a “top priority” to keep the hot springs accessible to Southern Utah residents Washington County residents will be given a 20% discount on resort visits “It’s very important to us that they can come in and can love these waters as they always have,” she said the resort is slated to produce a sizable amount of tax revenue for the local economy It is hoped that the resort will become a destination for tourists visiting Zion National Park that will create a spinoff effect While the onset of COVID-19 caused some setbacks, WorldSprings announced in August 2022 that the resort was moving forward and it’s going to be a big thing for LaVerkin and Washington County,” LaVerkin Mayor Kelly Wilson told St “This is going to be good for the city and all the businesses that are a part of LaVerkin and Hurricane as well.” The resort's operators aim for a tentative opening date of late June or early July when remaining infrastructure work is set to be completed along with members

LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah (KUTV0 — Search and rescue crews responded Friday morning to reports of a fallen hiker in the Mount Superior area of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Salt Lake County Sheriff’s deputies said they were dispatched to the mountain just before 11 a.m. Both ground and aerial resources were deployed. According to Salt Lake County Public Information Officer Arlan Bennett, the hiker—a 30-year-old man—sustained lacerations to his face and head. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the fall and was reported to be in stable condition. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital. The distance of the fall is unknown.

An elderly female tabby was found with her owners in Bryce Canyon National Park and appears to have survived the fall that killed them. Matthew Nannen, 45, and Bailee Crane, 58, fell off of Inspiration Point in the park either Monday night or Tuesday morning, according to a news release from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office. Their bodies were spotted Tuesday by fellow park visitors, about 380 feet below the popular lookout spot. The sheriff’s office said the couple seemed to be living out of a U-Haul and came to Utah from Arizona, though their last known permanent residence was in Florida. (Best Friends Animal Society) Mirage, a female tabby, was found with her owners after they died from a fall in Bryce Canyon National Park. She received care at the Best Friends Animal Society's sanctuary. A spokesperson for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary said a sheriff’s search and rescue team found the cat in a black, soft-sided carrier, covered in dirt and mud, near Nannen and Crane — indicating that the cat likely fell with its owners. The cat, estimated to be 12 years old, was “matted and a bit sore,” but “seemed to have weathered the fall fairly well,” the sanctuary said. There was no identification with the cat, which Best Friends staff have named Mirage, the spokesperson said. Judah Battista, the executive director of Best Friends, said he can’t think of any cases of animals who have faced trauma similar to what Mirage went through. Cats are famous for their ability to survive long falls, Battista said, but it’s typically because they can position themselves to absorb the shock of the landing in their legs. Because Mirage was constrained in a carrier when she was found, Battista said that makes her survival more remarkable. The cat was first brought to the Pawz Dogs boarding facility in Panguich on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, the Garfield County Sheriff contacted Best Friends, and the veterinary staff traveled the 70 miles from Kanab and back to the sanctuary’s clinic. Battista said she has two fractured canine teeth and a few fractured ribs, “but not anything that requires more than rest.” He said Mirage is eating without assistance and her bloodwork is normal for having experienced trauma. Video from Best Friends shows staff gently petting the cat and marveling that she could have fallen hundreds of feet and survived. Mirage appears happy to lean into their affection, especially a stroke under her chin, as she scans those attending to her and the room with her green eyes. “You are one lucky nugget,” one staffer said while administering a syringe. Battista said Best Friends will work with authorities to see if a relative of Nannen or Crane would want to take the cat. If not, he said they will seek an adoption home. “But we don’t want to get ahead of that opportunity for that family that’s obviously going to be in shock and grieving at the moment,” he said. In the meantime, he added that Mirage needs “quiet time” as her ribs heal.

LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah — A man who had set out to ski on the south face of Mount Superior was rescued Friday after losing his footing and sliding an estimated 800 feet. The man was with two others from out of town who set out on the mountain in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the morning. They had taken off their skis and put on hiking boots when the incident occurred, sending the man sliding out of control. Salt Lake County Search and Rescue was called in and put the man on a sled before lowering him down the mountain on ropes and transporting him to the hospital. Falling ice seriously injures Bridal Veil Falls visitor: "He was alert, some lacerations and some bruises — no broken bones that we could tell," said Ryan Clerico, Vice Commander of Salt Lake County Search and Rescue. "His helmet did save his life. "His helmet was pretty badly damaged in the slide and fall." A LifeFlight helicopter was used to hoist one of the other skiers off the mountain after he felt uncomfortable skiing down on his own. The third man was able to ski out on his own. Clerico said the incident is a warning that spring skiing can be dangerous and recommends those who try it to carry an ice axe that can come in handy to help stop anyone who has slipped in the snow. 20 Women’s Golf Set To Tee Off At Gold Canyon Regional May 04 (BRAIN) — Canyon Bicycles has started selling through Amazon some entry-level urban and mountain bikes to North American customers "Expanding into this space is intended to meet a new consumer on an established platform, making cycling more accessible and convenient for everyone," a Canyon spokesperson told BRAIN.
