[Bike(s) Check] Anton Thelander’s Canyon Sender & Stitched 720
[ad3]
After a nice trip up to Canada we were fortunate enough to stop by the nicest bike park on the planet : Coast Gravity Park. We bumped into Anton Thelander and since it was our first time seeing the new Canyon Sender in the flesh we thought it was only appropriate that we run a bike check on it. Anton suggested we also check out his Stitch slopestyle bike as well, so you’ll also see pictures of that below.
Canyon Sender – Size medium, 27.5″ wheels. RockShox Boxxer/Vivid combo.
SRAM X01DH Drivetrain. 165mm Cranks.
E.13 LG1+ Chainguide
The Sender has a rad graphics set and huge pivots.
The heart of it all. Although the linkage may appear complicated, it’s just a standard rate modifying linkage.
Vivid air. Bike park monster.
Built in downtube guard to protect the carbon frame.
Canyon has thought of everything. This bike even has a heel bumper.
Front end. Guide Ultimates, ODI Longneck grips and a Truvativ Stevie Smith Blackbox handlebar.
Crank Brothers stamp pedals in the larger size.
SDG Apollo saddle. The kevlar top can take a beating.
DT Swiss 1950 Wheels and Continental Kaiser tires.
Fork bumpers and rad stickers.
Part two. Anton’s Canyon Stitched 720 Slopestyle bike. Developed with input from himself and Thomas Genon, this bike looks really sick. It has some rather unique features such as a pivot that’s concentric to the BB. Here is a run through:
Full RockShox/SRAM build; made to boost.
XO Cranks in 165mm set up singlespeed.
100mm RockShox Pike. DT Swiss EX 471 Rims and Continental XKing tires
Truvativ Stevie Smith Signature bar with a Chromag HiFi Stem, Sensus Swayze lock on grips and an X0 Trail lever. No gyro for Anton; he keeps track of his barspins in his head.
SDG Apollo Saddle with an I-Beam post.
Concentric BB on the Stitched. A rubber donut keeps the cranks from moving in the air when Anton’s feet are off of the pedals.
How many barspins?
The linkage is a lot like the Spectral’s….just smaller.
DT Swiss 240S hubs. Singlespeed. Bolt on.
Small Crank Brothers Stamp Pedals.
