Return Policy

While our goal is to ensure that that every Canyon owner falls in love with their bike at first sight, we understand that sometimes our customers may need to return their Canyon. We want to make this process as streamlined and transparent as possible.

30 Day Home Trial

30 Day Return Period

All brand-new Canyon bikes come with our industry leading 30 Day trial period. We encourage you to assemble, fit, and test your new bike in order to ensure that your new Canyon exceeds your expectations. Original owners may return their bike for a full refund at any point during the first 30 days of ownership provided the bike is returned clean and in like-new condition, which means it shows no signs of wear.


SHIPPING REQUIREMENT: Using a Canyon Bike Guard is required for bike returns, so the original should be saved during this trial period to avoid return shipping fees related to shipping a new bike guard to you.


NOTE: Photos of the bike will be required prior to a shipping label being issued. If ridden, we'll need photos of the bike uboxed and re-boxed. If never ridden, only boxed photos of the original state will be required. Upon a quality check at the warehouse, identified damage and/or significant signs of wear may be subject to refurbishment fee.
