Canyon’s lightest race bike goes aero! Lightweight in every detail, and yet with 50 mm deep section rims – could this be the ultimate setup for an epic ride on Mont Ventoux? We tested it to find out! The Canyon Ultimate CFR has already proven itself as a true mountain goat in our solo test. […]

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
