Canyon Ultimate CF Evo Disc 10.0 LTD review

Jul 2019 · Jack Luke

A seriously impressive (and seriously expensive) engineering marvel, a lovely bike to ride and the beginning of a new era of lightweight disc-equipped road bikes

Highs
  • Category-leading low weight, great ride quality, top-end off-the-shelf build with fewer compromises than similar halo-spec bikes

Lows
  • Oh-so-very expensive, unforgiving seat/saddle combo, annoying saddle clamp and it only comes in black

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.
