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

Canyon's hit a high note with the Ultimate CF SL's quality kit and rapid ride
Incredible spec, rapid handling and racy with it

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.
