Canyon appoints new CEO

Canyon Bicycles has named Matthias Meier as its new CEO, effective 1 May 2026. Meier joins the German direct-to-consumer brand from DT Swiss, where he worked in senior commercial roles for over twelve years and most recently as the co-CEO. As the CEO, Meier will take full accountability for Canyon's global operations, commercial execution, and sustainable growth alongside its founder and executive chairman, Roman Arnold, the press release announcing the appointment said. Arnold took the leadership role in September 2025, after former CEO Nicolas De Ros Wallace stepped down after three years in the position. At the time, Canyon told the media it had no intention to look for a new CEO.
