Review: Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc is a hard to beat as an all around road bike

Jun 2018 · Cory Benson

First seen back in 2016, Canyon's disc brake Ultimate carbon road bike slots in extra space for wider tires along with improved braking for the lightweight race bike. True to its name, there is a lot to like with the fast, yet comfortable carbon bike that we rode up mountains & over mixed road surfaces.

Highs
  • Stiffness, handling, comfort, lightness and even value
