2021 Canyon Ultimate CF SL Disc 8 road bike review: impeccable value - CyclingTips

Jan 2021 · Dave Rome

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.

Highs
  • Comfortable ride quality, balanced handling, Canyon’s own cockpit components, stock tyres.

Lows
  • Somewhat odd frame sizing, press fit BB, locked into 1 1/4″ stems, narrow rims, fixed stem length and handlebar width.
