Most likely not safe to ride. Are the rails oval and the saddle ears are circular?

Looks like oval rails on a seat clamp that only supports round (I have the similar clamp and had the same issue when I wanted to test ride a new TT saddle on my road bike).
I’m quite sure this doesn’t allow you to put enough clamping force to keep the saddle from sliding or pivoting.

I would not ride it like that. Either need a different saddle or seat post/clamps.

No. You should never. Order genuine oval clamp part from canyon.

Don’t ride that! Get the oval rail adaptor. Most seat post makers have them.

100000% not safe, you need carbon rail clamps for that seatpost, those are alloy clamps on it now

Bike is unusable. Go ahead and send it to me.

I was about to say, is that the S Works Power Mirror…
Only reason why I didn’t go with S Works, as the non S Works have titanium round rails. The only difference!

If its a fizik saddle then you could face the same issue as me, I recommend you first measure the rails size (some fizik are 7×10 not 7×9 oval)and get adapter that matches.
I have two new clubmates who got one of these Canyon bikes recently. Both have had one hell of a time with those saddle rail clamps. On guys saddle tilted -12 degrees mid ride and after 15 minute we just gave up and he rode it home 30km.
I asked him how he fixed it and to my shock and surprise he said “a hammer” 😳😳
I don’t know about you all but a hammer has no place near a $7K carbon bicycle. Thankfully it is fixed and hopefully he won’t have any issues going forward.
