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

The 2023 Ultimate is the people’s Aeroad
Lightweight
Comfortable
Confidence-boosting
Great spec
Aerodynamic
None
Sep 2022 · Will Jones
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

A slew of improvements bolster Canyon's Ultimate road bike
Sep 2022 · Leon Poultney
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 family includes 7 models for the US market spread across 3 levels.

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

The bike is fine I will once again have to pay extra to have the right size handlebars. Would be great if you could spec this out like OBED did for my
Light rides nice handling is squirrelly because of handlebars.
Handlebars 39 are so narrow its dangerous to ride. Would not swap them out.
