6:47 omg, I've had a Canyon bike for over 2 years and I never knew about that feature on the quick release handle... My handle did not land on a good angle, so I could not use the metal stand, just now was able to fix it, thank you! :)
I LOVE the true grey color. I like how the Canyon logos are easily visible instead of the faint color difference on the stealth black which at casual glance you can hardly see. This exact model isn't available in the US as far as I know, wish it was.
Great video! Thank you for the detailed breakdown. I am on a fence between TCR and SL 8 Aero. I enjoy climbing and never had an Aero bike. After 1 year of riding, would you still recommend this bike? Thanks
Hi, Thank you for the support :) I think the Canyon and the TCR would be great choices for climbing. I think you can also throw on a pair of climbing wheels for the mountain days, and the aero wheels for the fast flats :)
Yea , buying online always comes with that uncertainty factor. I did use the online generator and it was pretty accurate, hopefully my video helps you out with finding the right size
Hi, I bought this model a year ago but with sram/etap drivetrain version which has less wires :) The bike is great, very responsive , very fast, and very good /light on climbing. The only point that I wasn't too happy was the wheels (DT Swiss spline db) but I replaced them this year with zipp 303s carbon which made the bike faster than I expected :)) So it's a great bike in my opinion. However, finding the right size was a crucial point for me because 2 years ago I bought a canyon Ultimate CF SL rim brake even much lighter and faster but with a different geometry for the same size (M) which gave me a lot of headaches and I was forced to sell it. So, bike is great but their sizes do not fully correspond with everyone's anatomy.
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Hey the aero wheels will be alot faster on flats roads. Normal ones will be better overall for climbs and daily riding. So it really depends on what type of riding you are going to do.
@@pattnwia I also got a Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 at home. Is it a good option for rides in the alps? Or rather get DT Swiss pcr1400 at some time? Don’t wanna spend 6,5k straight in total
I think they are very similar, all three are solid race/climbing bikes. The Canyon has deep dish wheels that do change the way it rides. My overall pick is still the TCR tho.
Super late but I am on their website and there is literally only Large left! I am 6'0" 34" inseam and it is recommending medium :( you think I will be okay? I always felt like I would be a large. Hopefully you can get back to this before they sell out. I love everything about this bike but no medium :(
Good review and very detail. Quick question, do you have clearance issue with the stage power meter? I heard that the 4iiii left crank power meter will slightly scratch the chainstay
Hallo, what do you think about size S for me? I am 179 cm tall with 83,5 insem, this is between S and M .. choosing S with longer aerobar ? or take a medium.. thank you :)
Hmmm you will be slightly taller than me, i personally think that the M would be the better fit, but if you want to have a more aggressive ride then S would be better, but yes, you would need a longer aerobar. Hard choice really, but i think both options will work
If I were you I'd try those DT Swiss wheelset on your TCR. I found out that SLR1 wheels were holding back my TCR from performing at its best after trying out the CLX50 from my other bike.
Good video! I have one questions for you. I'm thinking about buying CANYON ultimate cf SL 7 disc. But, I'm not sure vest size for me. I'm 170cm with 77.5 inseam. Which do you recommend S or XS for me?
Hi, loved the review. I’m currently on the fence between a TCR or an Ultimate for my next bike. A lot of the riding where I live is on the flat, which do you think is the fastest bike on the flat, or is there nothing much in it? Also how did you find the 390 mm bars, I’m about your height but fairly broad shouldered and currently on 420mm bars, which were stock with my first road bike, so I don’t have any experience with different bar widths.
Hey !! The ultimate will be faster on flats because it is more aero, the wheels and cockpit. Personally I like riding with narrower handle bars, I find them more comfortable. It takes a while to get used to, before I rode on 42 as well and gradually went to 40/38. Honestly it is just preference, if 42 feels fine, then there's no need to change it
Nice color! Love how the bike looks! I'm thinking about getting a Grizl and perhalps a aeroad next year. Sizing is the biggest concern I have. I ride a sworks SL6 in medium now with a longer stem. I'm 178 cm tall with 32inch inseem. Falls right at the top edge of size s. What's your take on sizing decisions with canyons bikes?
Hey thanks !!! Yea I was looking at sizes for the aeroad and I'm thinking that I might even have to go with XS because the reach is longer than the ultimate
@@garyfung229 yeaaa it varies by personal preference too, I feel thr size S ultimate is just on the edge of being too big, so I defos think 1 size smaller would fit me better. Hope my video helps a bit, I'm 175 with about a 75 cm ish inseam. I don't really remember my inseam, but it's around there
I’ m 5’7” with a 30” inside leg I have an xs which fits perfectly…..I’d say you deffo need a small. Also putting your body measurements into the Canyon sizing menu it tells you what you need and it is accurate
@@simoncbr900rr thanks for the tips, I think I'll go size s. If I put 178 82, it's a s, if I put 179 it's a m. But I should stick with a s in that case I believe.
Great review! I was thinking of the Canyon Endurace because of the new sram wireless over the Ultimate. But since I have had to wait so long I see that the new 2022 Ultimate has the new di2 wireless 12 speed. So is your bike a 2021 since it is an 11 speed? What is the size of the chainring? It doesn't say in the specs. Also I see that they have now added a power meter to your bike with the aero wheels for same price.
super vidéo ,très intéressante! je suis très intéressé par ce vélo mais également par le giant tcr pro 0,peux tu me dire lequel de ces deux vélo est pour toi le meilleur et quelles sont les raisons qui justifient ton jugement? je te remercie
@@pattnwia thinking of Aeroad. But I am worried I don’t have enough power for the aerobike. You are one of the TLD group. You must ride pretty fast and strong👍👍👍
@@leskeung3576 ahhh don't worry about it :P A bike should be something that you enjoy riding :) I have my eyes on the aeroad too, I just ride for fun, alot of the TLD guys are wayyyyy faster than me :S
@@pattnwia related with Canyon Bikes. Here in Mexico lot of people said to me that canyon frames had the tendency to brake. Same there? Taking into account that those are not cheap
My Canyon Ultimate had a cracked steerer tube because of the shitty design of the CP10 cockpit. The locking mechanism is pushing a wedge against the tube, which is prone to unevenly distributed force on the steerer. Now I'm 2 months out of the bike and still waiting for Canyon to send me a new fork, which Canyon refused to send me under warranty initially because they claimed it's due to over-tightening but after I argued it's a design flaw, they backed down and agreed to give me a new fork(unpainted, though). I'll buy a regular stem and handlebar and get rid of the integrated crap.
Damn!!! That's surprising to hear from canyon... and poor customer service on their part with the replacement fork.. sorry to hear about your experience. I'll be extra cautious
@@pattnwia And the funny thing is, Canyon is even a customer of my company. I'm pretty disillusioned with this so-called German engineering after learning all their recent engineering failure with seat post, handlebar, and experiencing this firsthand myself.
@@DanTuber On a couple rides I noticed there's some squeaking noise seemingly from the headset when I ride out of the saddle.

Of course the 58cm canyon will feel the same as other 58cm bikes. He says canyon bikes are larger because the size small he has is a 54. In most other brands, a 54 would be considered medium while the small would be 52.
What would you recommend as climbing wheels? What are the disadvantages/advantages of this wheelset compared to the one canyon offered on the ultimate for less money?
@@peteranton6951 Mavic Cosmic SLR 32 or zipp 202 , the ones on this canyon are way to deep , they are time trial rims , if where you live is mostly flat riding and no hills they are fine , but if hills mostly I would not recommend deep section rims , they will make you slower overall , and good luck with crosswinds .
“This bike is heavy because of the deep wheels” No LMAO this bike is heavy because it’s a cyclocross bike with those huge metal disc brakes that add a whole lot of weight to the bike

Just scored a non-aero version of this off the Canyon outlet for a pretty good deal. Stoked to get riding.
I LOVE the true grey color. I like how the Canyon logos are easily visible instead of the faint color difference on the stealth black which at casual glance you can hardly see. This exact model isn't available in the US as far as I know, wish it was.
Yea same !!!
The USA has its own inventory/warehouse, so it has diff models than the international versions.
Thanks for the review! Love that you start it with a free hub sound check haha. Just ordered the same bike in the 50mm wheel version.

It would have looked more expensive if it had internal cables like the Aeroad.
