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

Can Canyon’s new top-of-the-range Ultimate strike the perfect balance?
Pinpoint handling
Rapid acceleration
No-expense-spared build
Understated looks
DT Swiss wheels are one-trick ponies
Tyres are fragile

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
Aerodynamic updates
Smooth ride quality
Exceptional vibration damping
Snappy handling
Forgiving geometry
Stiff bottom bracket, top tube, seat tube junction
D-shaped seatpost for improved compliance
Integrated cable routing
14.3% weight reduction (claimed)
Lightweight (15.8 lbs test bike, 13.9 lbs CFR claimed)
Competitive price point ($6999 for CF SLX Ultegra Di2)
Left longing for a few pedal chance to ride the claimed 13.9 pound CFR Dura-Ace build

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
