Ultimate CF 7 Di2 AERO

The Ultimate CF SL offers the same high performance and pinpoint handling as the CF SLX and CFR, using a more accessible carbon fibre. This is the bike for road races, big days in the mountains and nailing that next personal best.

Canyon engineer, Lukas Birr, explains the design and development process that went into creating the Ultimate; a road bike that delivers the perfect balance. Lightweight, stiff and aerodynamic. This is our classic road race bike, evolved.

When developing the Ultimate, our goal was to strike the perfect balance between lightness, stiffness, comfort, robustness, and aerodynamics. The result? The most balanced, best-value road bike on the scene.

As well as interchangeable drops, our groundbreaking CP0048 Aerocockpit places a wide range of fine fit adjustments and gear integration options in your hands. Dialling in your fit is precise and fast, with 20 mm of height and 50 mm of width adjustment with no cutting required. Plus, the new Gear Groove interface provides a solid platform for mounting a range of accessories quickly, from aero bars to computer mounts (available separately).

From more upright and comfortable to low and aero, switch between cockpit setups in minutes using the Ultimate's interchangeable drops. As standard, the Ultimate uses the more balanced Classic Drops - with narrower Aero Drops available as an aftermarket extra for a slammed, compact, pro-inspired riding position with a longer effective reach.

The CF combines the cutting-edge innovations of the SLX and CFR platforms with a carbon layup that strikes the ideal balance between durability and value. By using specially selected fibres, the carbon layup sets the benchmark in terms of toughness.

On the road, from just 14 kph, aerodynamic drag is the largest force holding you back. So we optimised the frame forms for minimum drag, through an exhaustive process of wind tunnel testing in collaboration with aero experts Swiss Side. We also integrated the headtube/fork area as much as possible for extra aero gains.

The Ultimate looks even cleaner and sleeker with this clamp design. The clamp is hidden away in the seat tube, so there's no extra drag. We combine it with a D-shaped seatpost to reduce air resistance in the seat tube area to an absolute minimum. Plus, it's also simple to adjust so you can easily find your perfect riding position thanks to independent setback and tilt adjustment.
