Canyon have launched a new performance-analysing app, allowing users to pinpoint their best performances and compare and contrast it with other riders from across the world.
Beyond Limits, rather than checking segment times or miles accrued, is based on relative performance as opposed to absolute performance.
Connecting with Strava, the app creates what Canyon call an accurate picture of the user’s average values over their last 30 rides – including their threshold.
The data can then be used to pinpoint, in a unique infographic, how far the rider went “Beyond Limits” in that one activity.
More than 10,000 personal infographics were created in the first five days the app was live and any rider using the app and sharing their “Beyond Limits” infographic by January 1 will be entered into a prize draw to win a Beyond Limits edition Canyon Exceed CF SLX mountain bike.
All you need to get started is a Strava account and to visit www.canyonbeyondlimits.com to view your best performance.
Mountain bike product & brand manager Daniel Oster said: “We wanted to come up with something new that didn’t just rank people based on how many watts they produce for how long.
“That feeling of really hammering yourself and crawling through the door after a ride is universal to all riders, it doesn’t matter what level you’re at or what you ride, and that’s what we want to highlight.
“We hope that the Beyond Limits app will encourage people to go ride for longer and push harder than they normally would. In the end, that’s how we all progress to become better riders.”
