🔗 Learn more about the Canyon Speedmax CFR: https://click.canyon.com/4qdZCOz What does it take to ride almost non-stop for seven days? In March 2026, Canyon x DT Swiss All-Terrain Racing ultra-cyclist Alex McCormack set a new Guinness World Record for distance covered in seven days (upright bicycle, undrafted) – riding 3,826.47 km along the Mosel River near Canyon’s HQ in Koblenz, Germany. Averaging nearly 30 km/h and spending over 18 hours a day on his Canyon Speedmax CFR, Alex pushed through freezing rain, wind, sleep deprivation, and relentless fatigue to break the previous record by just 13 km. This wasn’t a meticulously planned attempt months in the making. It was an off-the-cuff, full-gas effort with limited resources – a true reflection of the Canyon x DT Swiss All-Terrain Racing team’s “Race Everything” mentality. This is the story of how it happened. 📲 Follow Alex McCormack's adventures here: https://www.instagram.com/a_mccormack/ 🎥 Watch more content: https://youtu.be/F4Hqm9ewqy0?si=CV2nt5RgrqtIUgec 🕐 Timecodes 🕐 00:00 Meet Ultra-Cyclist Alex McCormack 00:23 How Far is Far Enough? 01:20 Pre-Ride & The Plan 02:00 Setting Off 02:48 First Lap Complete 03:48 Why Attempt the Record? 04:39 Two Days In 05:42 1,000 KM Completed 06:43 Falling Behind Record Pace 08:17 Four Days In 08:59 Burning 10,000+ Calories a Day 10:15 Five Days In 12:00 Hallucinations Begin 13:09 Fighting to Stay on Schedule 14:52 Final Hours 15:48 Ahead of Record Pace 16:10 Final 30 Minutes 16:44 Alex is Done 16:48 New Guinness World Record 17:32 Celebrations #CanyonBikes #SpeedmaxCFR #GuinnessWorldRecord #UltraCycling Check our other channels: ► Website: https://www.canyon.com/ ► Canyon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canyon/ ► Canyon MTB on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canyon_mtb/ ► Canyon Road on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/canyon_road_/ ► Canyon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canyon ► Canyon on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@canyon_bicycles ► Canyon on Whatsapp: https://click.canyon.com/46iw4aF For unboxing videos, maintenance and tips, check: ► Canyon Service Hub: https://www.youtube.com/@CanyonServiceHub
