I was looking at Tarmac, Emonda, and TCR but I'm leaning towards this Canyon Ultimate for my new bike I get in the spring. I'm only gonna treat myself to a new bike if I reach my personal FTP goals though. It will be an amazing reward.
You will love it!
I got the CF SL 8 (non aero) recently in matt black. So far really liking it. Lite and fast.
It’s a fantastic bike isn’t it! I was originally going for that one too but it was impossible to get it as everything was out of stock. I had been checking for quite a while. When the aero model came up I couldn’t resist!
@@danivaareoff I don't blame you. I waited 8 months for mine. I'm not fussed about electronic. Mechanical works just as nice. I noticed there's two aero versions.
@@DanTuber the world has gone cycling mad! You can't go wrong with Shimano's 105/Ultegra mechanical groupsets/drive trains!
Insane bike !!! Its hard to find a road bike right now ... Lucky dude!! Enjoy it !!!!
Canyon one of my favourite brand
Looks great and the Ltd suspiciously looks like Canyon used up some of their new Aeroad part bin stock, (which is not a bad thing just good lateral thinking on their part while they sort the issues out with the recall on that model)
omg i cant watch the scene where you tighten the seatpost and you flake of with the allen key xD Also: there is an in built newtonmeter on that allen key, you hear it "click* near the beginning of your last turn.
I just bought the 2023 model, i hope i'll get it soon :) How is it going after 1 year with it? Had any problems somewhere?
The 2023 model looks fantastic. You will love it!
No issues at all so far - it’s solid! I’ve even been using it on Zwift too.
You need to remove the plastic behind the cassette.
Its a spoke guard. It prevents the chain from going between the spokes and cassette causing damage. Not something I want to happen with these wheels! I know some people take them off, but I have always left them on my bikes. The aesthetic doesn't bother me.
@@danivaareoff you have Di2 so there's no chance of that happening. As for your other bikes, you need to check the tensioning and H limit screw. Then again, if you want to leave it on then leave it on.
@@danivaareoff I'm impressed
Not to bad for the money ,safe ride man
Thanks, and you!
Thank you for this video.
You’re welcome
cool video. Nicely edited 😀
What size frame did you buy? Did you use Canyons frame sizing feature? I'm 177 cm with my inseam around 81 cm and it says a i need a S frame. Just wondering if the frame size what accurate with your stats?
Nvm. Just read your description and i see it in there 😂😂😂😂
Do you have the link to that bike? I cant find it anywhere on the site.
Yep, the size guide worked well for me. Size S, same height as you.

I just got a Canyon Ultimate, small is a 54, med. is a 56 & so on
I’m in the US and don’t see this color scheme for the ultimate on their website. Was this ordered recently?
Yes, a couple of weeks ago.
I’m thinking to order this (when back in stock). Would love to see a video where you talk through the ride experience 😊. How are you finding the bike?
It’s fantastic. You won’t be disappointed. Though the new generation looks even better!
Very nice and very effective
I'm envy you man!
I want this model but it's out of order 😫
Keep trying! I had to watch the website for a while until it came back into stock. You can also ask the site to notify you as they sell out quick!
How did you get through customs so quick? I had Campag wheels that took a month to get through. a real pain. Brian
Oh wow, not sure what happened with you wheels! Canyon did a good job with the documentation and the box was well marked. Tax was also paid for at checkout so maybe that helped too.
Hello !
I will surely buy the new SL8 Di2 for the new 2023 season (Enjoy the stock...).
I'm almost the same size as you, on the configurator with 1 cm more, I have a size M. What do you think about the size S after almost 1 year? I hesitate between a small aero size or a size M a little more comfortable.
What do u think ?
Thanks dude! Have a nice ride
Hi Louis, I think the size S fits me perfectly, though I think an M would also be fine for me too - we're probably on the borderline between sizes. I haven't had any issues with S so for me I'd probably still stick to S if I had to buy again. I'm sure the new 2023 model will be even nicer with the new 12 speed Di2. Enjoy!
@@danivaareoff Thanks for your feedback 😀
Got the new 2023 SL8 Aero this Monday. But since then only rain…. Bike is waiting for a ride 🤣. I‘m 178 and took the M Size. What I can say just from sitting on the Bike it feels good.
@@markusforrer1881 oh thank you I'm 178 too. Hope you can ride it soon !
@@markusforrer1881 Congrats! The new 2023 model looks like it was worth the wait. Haha that happened to me when I got mine too!
How do I route the canyon ultimate cables inside the handlebars?
It's not possible on my model. It may be something they integrate in future models.
where is the di2 junction box?
It’s in the right hand side bar end.
It's a decent bike and I have been wondering if I should buy one for myself... Ended up with the new Aeroad SLX eTap instead
I'm struggling to decide between Canyon Ultimate vs Giant TCR vs Merida Reacto. Any advice?!
I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those. I would pick which every one fits your riding style and terrain the most.
hi is the wheelset is tubeless?
It is tubeless ready, but does not come setup as tubeless from Canyon.
@@danivaareoff thanks.. the wheels that you had has a inner tube (presta)like a regular tire?
Yes sir.
@@danivaareoff thanks👍
How would you describe the colour: light gray or rather dark gray? it looks different in each photo / video.
It’s somewhere in the middle. Not light, but not dark either. This video is fairly accurate with the colour and is how I see it in person. I hope that helps.
@@danivaareoff Thanks
Hey buddy, I have the same bike. could you tell me what cable tie you used to tidy up the cables?
I haven't actually used anything. It is as it came from the factory.
@@danivaareoff thanks buddy. Ride safe :)
Happen to have a real world weight?
Isn't Philipsen sponsored by Canyon? In that case I wouldn't want one.
Cancel culture isn't cool.
head unit/light mount name please ? :)
It’s the Canyon FLASH 800 Frontlight Set.
what is the difference between ultimate aero and non aero? also comparing to aeroad
The wheels and cassette. Aero wheels and an 11-28T cassette instead of 11-30T.
The non LTD version has shallower wheels, 11-30T cassette and a power meter. Maybe better value depending on what you are after and if you don’t already have a power meter.
Ah nuts it's out of order, do you still dive?
Bro!!
@@danivaareoff Dude !!
Donde las venden en Estados Unidos?
They only sell via the Canyon website (unless you visit the factory in Germany).
I love this brand... the endurace, the aero, the ultimate... all brilliant and at an amazing price point... but omg, it just bothers me so much that they didn't went that extra tiny bit to do a full internal cable routing. It would be a perfect bike!!! This bike would be 100x better if those ugly ass cables were hanging out at the front...
Totally agree! The next generation will probably all be hidden.
I agree. The cables are almost making me not buy this bike right now 😤😤
@@Matt-nh5zi wait… maybe next model will have that upgrade… or maybe not… the aethos s-works is a $15k bike and it has cables hanging out the front… go figure…
@@fredericopereira6444 guess so 😂 I’ve been looking at a Ribble with same group set and no cables for the same price but I’m swaying toward canyon now
@@Matt-nh5zi Yeah tbh I don’t think you should go with something other that a Canyon just because of some showing cables… not everything is perfect and if they are good enough for MVP and the rest of the team they should be good enough for us ☺️
Canyon Cf sl 7, just entry carbon frame , stiffness 6/10 ,without,comfort 4/10.
You, little australian rich boy , 4700 Euro for this bike, i think the wheels DT Swiss are a half price of this bike. :)
Lol! Work hard, play hard!
@@danivaareoff Yes, it also depends on where you live, on this Planet, that you can work hard and hard and be poorly rewarded and this bike would be only a nice dream,
Price in Australia 🌏
Can I ride it?!😅
