Ultimate CF SLX 8 Di2

Whether climbing epic mountain passes, powering along the flat or navigating a technical descent, the Ultimate CF SLX delivers. With pinpoint handling, light weight and aerodynamics, this bike is your companion when the road heads upwards, downwards and everything in between.

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.

The CF SLX combines the cutting-edge innovations of the CFR platforms with an advanced carbon layup that strikes the ideal balance between lightness and durability by using a specially engineered high-end fibre mix.

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.

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.

The Ultimate's removable through axle lever doubles up as a TX25 tool that fits almost every screw across the bike, and clips discreetly into the wheel when not in use. One simple tool that you can use for any emergency adjustment on the road. Please note: the tool is meant for emergency adjustments only. The user is responsible for following the specified torque values when tightening bolts, which cannot be checked with the tool.
