Canyon's Ultimate CF SL Disc may be a few years old, but including it in the Field Test has proved that this high-value racer has aged incredibly well.
Comfortable ride quality, balanced handling, Canyon’s own cockpit components, stock tyres.
Somewhat odd frame sizing, press fit BB, locked into 1 1/4″ stems, narrow rims, fixed stem length and handlebar width.

Value-packed flyweight race machine and one of our Performance Bike of the Year contenders
Light
Extremely fast
Sharp handling
Firmer front than rear
Takes some getting used to

Highly capable road bike for road races, gran fondos or just fast and comfortable summer rides
Value for money
Stiff and light
Comfortable
Aero handlebar limits easy fit adjustment
Starting to show its age compared to more modern rivals

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

It’s everything you want in a fast bike with a price tag that won’t make you cry.

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.

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!
