“Canyon’s investment in making me a new custom cockpit played a big part in believing that I could win Worlds.”

Late, and better than ever

Laura Philipp is proof that age and athletic history are no barrier to world class performance in triathlon.
The German couldn’t even swim until the age of 24, when she entered her first ever triathlon after watching friends race a relay event. The rest is now history.
At the age of 37, her first world title is the culmination of a glittering career that shows no signs of slowing down.

The ‘Belief Investment’

The interaction between cockpit and head/helmet/shoulders is very sensitive, but the gains can be great. For Laura’s 2024 World Championship ride, our engineering team constructed a new monocoque carbon cockpit for her Speedmax that not only offered aerodynamic advantages through a reduced CdA (coefficient of aerodynamic drag), but increased comfort through improved arm rest positioning.
In the race, Laura’s bike split was more than three minutes faster than anyone else. “This investment from Canyon was a big part of me starting to believe that I had a chance to win this race. If people start to do something special for you, trying to optimise your performance with extra support, it makes a big difference from a mental aspect,” says Laura.
The custom cockpit project is proof of Canyon’s relentless commitment to delivering our athletes only the finest, fastest equipment.
