I already posted this few days ago, but the condition changed, as I measured myself wrong and I was looking at the wrong size of canyon bike. As per the canyon fitter, I can buy a size XS, so I have 2 different options.
What would you choose between these 2 bikes?
Frame Canyon Endurace CF SL Disc
Fork Canyon One One Four SL Disc
Rear Derailleur Shimano 105 RD-5800, 11s
Front Derailleur Shimano 105 FD-5800, 11s
Shifters Shimano 105 Disc, 11s
Brakes Shimano 105 ST-BR 505
Cassette Shimano 105 CS-5800, 11s 11-32
Wheelset DT Swiss E 1800 SPline DB
Chainrings 50/34
Saddle Selle Italia X3
Frame Canyon Endurace ALSL Disc
Fork Canyon FK0089 CF Disc
Groupset Shimano Tiagra 4720, 10s
Wheel DT Swiss Endurance LN
EDIT: I made a typo, the second price is 1179€
Can I stick road tyres on my gravel grail cf slx, as my road bike has been stolen. If yes, can anyone recommend a set. Many thanks
I've decided to buy a new Aeroad, and my choice fell on the Rapid Ruby CF SLX model with the Ultegra groupset.
I don't really want to spend more money on the CFR model, even though I like the color choices of the CFR more. Ultegra would be a good upgrade from my current bike with 105, and I do not consider SRAM groupsets because I am already used to Shimano gear shifting. I also don't really want the Crystal White version because my current bike is light gray, and I want a more colorful version.
There are two Aeroads with these specifications, but different wheelsets: 50mm vs 62mm 'Speed' version.
I live in a really flat area in Europe and currently ride 60mm wheels without any handling problems, even with crosswinds. So my natural choice would fall on the 62mm wheelset.
The problem is that this bike is not in stock and marked as 'Coming soon' for the last few months.
I am not in a hurry and can wait till the end of spring because currently, I only ride inside due to the temperature and snow.
But my question is, should I wait for my "perfect" Aeroad to become available, or should I go with the "almost perfect" version with the 42mm wheelset? What would you suggest?

Want to talk about something but not make a new thread? Ask what colors are coming or when a bike will be back in stock? Do it here! You are allowed to break rules 1, 2, 4, and 6 in this thread within reason.
Hi I am about to get new bike but wondering about the sizing. I am 166/76 and canyon size tool recommends xxs but it looks small to me (on pictures 😅). Do you have any advise?
Hi, all Canyon fans
I buy new bike and looking for mud guar for back.
Special for protect this part of bike:
I look on canyon site but there is no part for this.
Have you any recommendation?
Thnx
I’ve got an Ultimate CF SLX 8 Di2, and I’m looking to upgrade with some aero bars. Does anyone have recommendations for aero bars that fit well with this bike, both in terms of compatibility and performance?Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!🙏🏼
Just saw this colourway online and I think it's awesome. Does anyone have an IRL photo to see how it compares to the professional canyon shots?
I recently bought an ALU grizl 7 from Canyon US (without knowing about their poor welding beforehand)
I emailed them to say I think they sent me a RAW model frame by mistake.
They then told me that their welding is just different from all other Canyon welding and my bike was not a RAW model.
I asked them to clarify the differences between my model and a RAW model, and said it seems like false advertising in their site with regard to the finish, which they described as ‘unfortunate’.
Just two days after that, all the Canyon Grizl AL models are now listed as RAW models on the US site.
They’re still saying I don’t have a RAW model.
Has anybody had experience repairing/reconnecting the control wire? Put the bike on a carrying rack and apparently pulled a wire out of the controller. It does not simply snap back in.
A nice Sunday ride in Portland, OR.
Had a health issue that kept me off the bike for ~4 months. So glad I can finally be back on two wheels. Colder days in LA finally here!
Hi! Im thinking of upgrading my current bike which is Ridley X-Bow 2014 cx bike. The bike is size M and fits me well. My measurements are 180cm, 83cm inseam length, early thirties.
I have hard time deciding which Canyon bike to go for, Ultimate cf sl 7 or Endurace cf 7, size M for both. I dont need more comfort that i currently have with my Ridley cx, so im looking for similar riding position or a bit more aggressive riding position. However, im not sure if i can handle Ultimate's geometry or should i just go for Endurace. I havent tested any other roadbikes before but few Ridley gravel bikes i tried had too relaxed riding position for my taste. In general i would have similar geometry compared to my current bike or a bit more aggressive but not too much.
I mostly ride on paved roads 70km a week to work and leisure rides 30-60km on weekends.
What do you guys think which Canyon bike should i go for?
Thanks Canyon for including internal lock rings, allowed me to immediately enjoy the new wheels.
2 years ago I rode this very bike as my first time road bike. I remember feeling how fast it felt. I relieved this feeling today with a full stupid grin on my face the whole sortie.
As an added bonus, though not a weight weenie, I like the idea of getting an endurance bike below 8 kg.
I recently bought a Kickr Core for my 2024 Aeroad CF SLX 7 AXS. I also purchased a new AXS hub and the exact same AXS cassette that comes with the Aeroad, specifically for the trainer. However, I’m experiencing significant issues with the gears, including rubbing and loud noises. I haven’t used any spacers and have used both adapters (the small one for the thru-axle and the other one). What am I doing wrong? From what I can tell from my poor understanding is that the last gear is rubbing the frame…
Any idea what scree is used for the seatpost of the speedmax cf8? Stripped mine…
I am posting this for public awareness
I recently had an issue with a 2 month old Aeroad CF SLX 8 frame. Canyon US has accepted the claim and informed me it's a valid warranty claim. However,... They have no replacement frames nor any stock for the Crash replacement program. Their solution? Return the bike for a refund (minus a restocking fee if there's any damage on any component other than the warranty issue with the defective frame (yeah, what?).
So, be careful if you order a bike from Canyon US (I'm sure any other country is fine as they as to have stock in other countries).
Per their warranty terms they're supposed to offer a replacement or fix, not a refund minus restocking fees for valid warranties. They're not currently honoring the warranty terms, at least in my case, and are blaming it on stock and supply chain issues. They have no ETA for a replacement frame (they said it could be 6+ months... Yeah.
Any ideas as what I should do? I really don't think I should have to return the entire bike for a frame warranty, and have to get less than what I paid for it if I have a scratch on a wheel or another component that doesn't even need to be returned or warrantied since the issue is only the frame.
I'm willing to share Canyon's responses, if anyone asks.
Has anyone else has this problem? The screw on my aeroad seatpost seems to have lost its grip as it’s almost impossible to get it fully torqued to 5nm. I’m using the small black 5nm torque wrench they provided, but can’t even get it to torque meaningfully. Any suggestions? New screw?
My first Canyon, and my first CF bike. Arrived yesterday, build and first ride today. Feels great! Size S turns out to fit me about perfect, male 5' 9" (175 cm), 32" inseam (81 cm), was glad to have this sub to help convince me to order S. 105 groupset seems excellent. Love the carbon wheels, I think this is a recent upgrade for CF 7 series?
Steel Tempest paint job is nice, though I did want the Slate. Evidently so did many others by the time I was ready to order!
Hey everyone,
I’m planning on getting a Canyon Commuter 6 soon (can’t wait!) and I’m curious about adding a child seat down the line. I don’t have a kid yet, so I won’t need the seat right now—maybe not for a few years—but I want to make sure the bike can handle it when the time comes.
Has anyone here mounted a rear child seat on their Commuter 6? Any specific rack or adapter setups that work well? Also, if you own the Commuter 6, I’d love to hear about your overall experience—how’s the ride quality, maintenance, or anything else worth knowing?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
I ordered an Ultimate from Canyon nearly two weeks ago with still no arrival. Due to a change in circumstances, I would no longer like this bike. Can I start the return process before the bike arrives or no? Also, does the 30 day return window begin when the bike arrives with me or once the bike is shipped/purchased?
