We test the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc 9.0 Aero, Canyon's lightweight allrounder with an aero twist
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

What’s more ultimate than ultimate? The Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 9.0 Aero, of course. All of the performance, without the cost

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.

Built for speed and efficiency, with a dose of comfort and a whole lot of style. Buy if you want a race bike that's built around the same high-quality carbon frame as ridden by the Canyon//SRAM pro team, and/or are looking for a race-ready bike for smaller riders
Quality race-focused design and spec
Large gear range adds versatility
Efficient power transfer for noticeable acceleration
Range of sizes at the small end
Integrated seat clamp can be fiddly to access, limited tyre choice for 650b wheel size options

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.

The new models feature frames that are designed specifically for women's bodies

We definitely got our fair share while riding the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX Disc 8.0, including an outdoor disco, pink unicorns and some bubbly!
