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

Jun 2018

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.

Canyon Ultimate CF SL Disc 8.0 Di2 review

May 2018 · Warren Rossiter

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

Highs
  • Sublime drivetrain, light, agile and a comfortable ride position

Lows
  • Front-end chatter from poor roads can get wearing
