At least as well built as a Specialized or Trek or whatever major brand bike leaving a typical retail shop. Better in some cases. That's one of the main reasons I like Canyon, apart from the obvious cost saving.
Maybe so, having put together a large number of bikes in a box, I cannot have any faith any bikes come as a complete built bike even those that come actually nearly complete roll out of the box nearly ready still need some tuning. You may have had some great luck and maybe Canyon is doing a better job of things than others (certainly they understand torque and include torque tools in their boxes which is a step)
