By Maryna Holovnova
Summary
Canyon has developed a new e-bike that integrates V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication technology, typically found in modern cars, to enhance cyclist safety. While cars increasingly feature advanced safety systems like blind-spot monitoring and collision warnings, bicycles have been left out of this ecosystem, contributing to rising cyclist fatalities. Canyon aims to bridge this gap by bringing automotive-grade safety communication to two wheels, addressing a key reason people choose cars over bikes in some regions.
