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?
Nimble acceleration
Price/performance ratio
Integration
Undefined handling
Strong seat post flex at full extension

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

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.

Canyon's women-specific about-turn has resulted in a performance machine that's well thought out and fit for purpose
