Summary
The Canyon Ultimate is celebrated for its lightweight, stiff frame and excellent handling, making it a top choice for racing. It offers a balance of aerodynamics, comfort, and efficiency, with updates like integrated routing and a D-shaped seatpost enhancing its performance. While it excels in speed and agility, some models face criticism for proprietary components and limited adjustability.

Can Canyon’s new top-of-the-range Ultimate strike the perfect balance?
Pinpoint handling
Rapid acceleration

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
