Stiff, comfortable, fast, light... you name it, the Ultimate has it!
It's personal, but I just can't get on with the Fizik saddle

Alejandro Valverde rides his Canyon Ultimate CF SLX towards the World Champ title. But does the bike have what it takes to make you a World Champ?

Stunning all-round racer made even better with 12-speed shifting and superfast wheels
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.

A quality race bike bolstered by a great drivetrain and wheels. Buy if you want typical Canyon value and performance and are prepared to switch the tyres for something bigger
Sublime drivetrain, light, agile and a comfortable ride position
Front-end chatter from poor roads can get wearing

The Canyon Ultimate CF SL Disc 8.0 could be the best bike on the market under $3,000, or it could be the best bike period.
