One of these bikes costs nearly 4x the other, but how different are they really?

Exceptional uphill, fast handling, and a quality build kit make this a very compelling package
Beautifully balanced handling
Considered aero touches
Still feels like a climbers bike
Still some proprietary touches
Threaded BB would be preferable
No 0mm seat post option

Lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic – and at the same time more robust! We’ve already put the Canyon Ultimate CFR Di2 2023 through the wringer, riding it on all types of terrain.
Robustness as a development goal
Easily adjustable cockpit
Predictable and easy handling
Optimal balance between weight, efficiency and downhill capabilities
Tire/wheel combo affects braking precision on fast descents

It's been a long time coming but Canyon's Ultimate has been refined and improved in this excellent fifth generation
Pleasingly lightweight
Beguiling kit list for the price
Easy adjustments to cockpit for great fit
Sharp but fun
Dizzying array of model choice
Canyon’s new accessories will make you part with more cash
Lightest models are expensive

The Ultimate is a brilliant race bike – fast, comfortable and handles well
Well-balanced speed, handling and comfort
Spec is perfect
Loads of easy position adjustability
Not the bargain that it once was

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.
