Canyon V-Drome

Hey folks. I've been searching and haven't seen mention of this bike yet. I'm looking for a bike to replace my recently-stolen ride and was curious: Is there something wrong with this bike?

Get all your power down on the track I Canyon V-Drome AL

I know there's some bikes out there people like Scrod would advocate we avoid. Is this one safe?
