Dream bike, but I'd have to sell my guitars or get a presenter's job at GCN to own one. It would be interesting to see this £10-12k CFR pitted against Canyon's current lowest priced Aeroad (4-5k) and a 2nd hand but similar weight Aeroad from 5-6 years ago (1-2k). Not sure if Canyon would allow this (esp against a 2nd hand bike) but it would be great to see the results. Make it happen guys.
Bike is sick, love the color and appreciated the breakdown on why certain selections were made. I also just want to point out the obvious and say that I thoroughly appreciate the fact that Ollie is a car guy and manages to work that in to a lot of his segments. Also love the donut sticker on the laptop in the tech segments. Cool to see others with a similar set of interests.
Congratulations on the new bike Ollie 🥳 I have also just bought a new bike. Canyon Aeroad CFR with Zipp 454 and SRAM Red. Have upgraded to SRAM Red rainbow cassette and chain 😁 I bought it in matt black with green decals that change color in the sun. Very happy with it so far. Will send it in to the bike vault when GCN finally manage to get it working 😆
"naturally, I'm going to tell you all about it..." I would like to see someone try stop you 😂. It's a stunning bike, and your enthusiasm for this bike and really all bikes is infectious. Great work.
Although not my style (I'm a retro grouch) I must acknowledge that the paint on that Canyon is majestic. Also, you're pushing some big gears there Ollie, holy cow haha. Super nice to you 👍🔔
These comments complaining are on most GCN videos. I don't believe people are making them in good faith, they must view the video just to give out. They constantly give out about sponsorship, advertisements and cost. They are just being contrarians and enjoying their gotcha moment. I, like most people, know what GCN are and aren't. Just watch it for what it is, entertainment, sometimes informative, that relies on sponsorship. Again like most people, I will never be able to purchase a pro-level bike like this, but if canyon want to give Ollie a freebie, then 👍
Sick looking bike, it reminds me a bit of the newest Cervelo Soloist. Also, those chainring sizes, dang, throw a 12-23 cassette and we've circled back to 1990s gearing lol.
Beautiful bike. I’d like to see a performance comparison video between this CFR and Ollie’s lighter Ultimate CFR. Climbing, TT times under same watts and such.
Giant has been doing the lever trick for the wheels for years . Good to leave the tool on the rear wheel to save the frame when you crash learned from experience .
Unfortunately, due to quality control and customer service problems with Canyon on a previous bike, I'm just not sure I could purchase another one from the company. That said, the Aeroad is visually my favorite bike on the market. It doesn't hurt that it was designed in part by Swiss Side as well. Thanks for sharing, Ollie.
Ollie use the New Giant Propel bottle cages (different cage for downtube and seattube) and they make it even more aero and fill the gaps almost between downtube and bottle. I got these on my Aeroad CFR in the same color ;)
canyon are one of our channel sponsors that make what we do possible. we are really open about this and its listed below. But perhaps, because it’s so obvious to me, i’ve forgotten it might not be so obvious to others. I will remember to make it clearer next time 👍🏼
@@GCNuser123it might be obvious to you since you're in the industry, but l'm sure a lot of consumers aren't even aware that this channel has any sponsors.
At least they are honest about it these days. But its not the journalism I would like to see. Biased newspapers are also not independant journals but still we read them and apply internal filters for info.
Video idea: Ollie’s bike stable. Let’s see all of Ollie’s bikes! Plus, it will make the sponsors happy and all the pedants in the comments really mad 😆😎
#askgcntech Ollie mentioned he puts 80ml of sealant in his 28mm tire. Most brands recommend half of that. Does more only add weight or also rolling resistance?
That is an awesome bike. Id love to see a video to compare the speed to other bikes you rode. Also. The price difference youl paid to gain that extra speed. Bloody amazing bike and I enjoyed the tour:)
Lovely looking bike, proud owner. Thanks for mentioning your saddle choice too, I've been contemplating trying something else as my own Selle Italia SLRs are starting to give me issues. Was thinking of something with a cut out. I have a Vitus Vitesse in similar colour and looks sublime in the sun.
I’m interested in hearing about the decision making process on the size. What size did the Canyon fitting tool on line put you in? I’m a “tweener” (between two sizes). Smaller size means less reach. Bigger size means less drop. Most people are going smaller these days, but the bigger frame was better for me with a shorter stem.
Can you share some information about your bike fitting and why you chose size L. What’s your inseam? And the measurements of the bike? I am 189cm tall with quite short legs, and I am struggling between M and L
How did you get a 120mm stem? Large comes stock with 110 and there are no swapsies or aftermarket available? Or is Ollie special? :) I want an Aeroad, but until you can spec the cockpit as you need for fit, and not just what they deem correct, it is a no-go.

Got my CF 8 SLX Ultegra '24 a few days ago. Great bikes 😁
I considered getting this one but they're often out of stock and the colorways are wack (sorry Ollie) so I went with the Colnago V4Rs instead.. and what a machine it is! I couldn't be happier! 😎
Bike looks amazing, but I have always been told I need to remove the di2 battery when taking my bike on a plane and carry in hand luggage. You mentioned that you need to remove the crank and bottom bracket to replace the battery. How does this work if you want to fly with it as seems like a lot of effort?
Hi, Ollie. I love the brand, and this bike, of course. I have the previous version. You say you love the saddle, I have she same saddle, I'm a little bit heavier than you (74-75), same height, so theoretically it should be good for me, too, only after long rides (more than 3 hours) it literally starts to feel like a pain in the ass. I have the Selle Italia SLR Boost Superflow S manganese (S3) (133 mm / 250 mm). What size is yours?
Great review - I have been wanting an aero bike for some time after buying an ‘ultimate’ type of lighter climb bike last summer. Just ordered the Canyon Aeroad CFR AXS with the latest SRAM Red in the stealth colour with green logo. Very excited. Only doubt - will the aggressive frame be too demanding for my back? How have you experienced the move from the Canyon Ultimate to the Aeroad in terms of comfortable? Thanks - and greetings from Copenhagen!
Those canyon thru-axles remind me of dt swiss rws axles/qr's. Neat to see the adjustable bars for width too. I would probably fit on that bike, which is neat.
enjoy it. late last year I bought the CFR Aeroad in Cosmos paint but have yet to ride it (waiting for nice weather!) I'm jealous you were able to get the cockpit in 120mm, L should be 110mm. 120mm is a 2XL size only, and Canyon won't make any changes nor sell them individually (oh how I've tried though, cause perfect world i'd be on a 130 with the new shorter top tube). I really love Canyon - been on one for 2 Aeroad generations, pre-CFR - but I really dislike how they made the CFR gen cockpit fully proprietary, and aren't helping riders get different fitted cockpits.
Canyon used to have a secretive little eBay account where they sold all their unused race team parts. I bought an extra long cockpit from them and I still use it to this day. Can't remember the name of their eBay account but I remember it being hilariously evasive and nondescript, something like 'bikeparts'. I didn't even know it was them until I saw the invoice.
@@chrisjames1924good tip! I looked on eBay but haven’t seen anything. Will keep checking! My old aeroad i just put a different one on (frappes actually cause it was the only one that did 120mm x 36cm). But the new design cockpit won’t take 3rd parties
I'm curious if the 160/160 rotors feel much different then a 160/140 mix. I know Shimano usually spec the staggered set up, and Sram almost always the matching set up. Curious if you notice any differences Ollie.
@askGCN. How do I get my confidence back? I've fallen off occasionally and it really sets back my confidence for cornering etc, and worrying about tyres sliding on wet roads Surely this happens to everyone?
I have a question about the chainring and cassette. Is there a big difference when you ride the standard 36 in front and 30 in the back on a hill instead of the 40 front 34 in the rear. I am wondering if the 40/34 setup is better for steep climbs. I can ride almost everything with the 36/30 setup but on steep climbs it’s a vo2max Intervall for me everytime 😂
9:03 just wondered whether, if you remove the stem spacers, that wouldn't mean lowering the saddle height (as your foot doesn't reach as high up), not increasing it?
Interesting that the chainrings are headed back up, I rode a 53/42 as a junior into Cat 2 as that what my lugged steel Trek came with. Also pushed a 11-18 rear block but I lived in a very flat area and was young and stupid. Amazed my knees are still attached.
great bike, Ollie, congrats!! One question, did they keep the stepped seat post to make it more compliant, or is it the same profile all the way through? I got the previous SLX version and love it. I had some problems with seatpost noise, but that went away when I applied some really gooey grease to the frame seal. The bike shipped with a very thin white grease that you were supposed to use there, but it was useless. cheers, Eckhard
thats interesting, i've been trying out some geometry adjustments lately. i'm 6-7 centimeters shorter, run the same saddle height and just by the looks, i wouldve guessed you've got longer extremeties. wonder if i should go lower again.
Beautiful and amazing looking bike, but I'm more of a stealthy black bike guy with maybe hints of color and gold chain. I am curious how you'll get on with the larger 3rd party chainrings.
What does it look like through polarized glasses? I have been startled on occasion by cars with these types of paint changing surprisingly in color depending on the light.
'tis a nice bike for sure, but I thought Ollie was a weight weenie so I'm not sure about being happy with 7.3kg! Is it nicer than a Pinarello Dogma F? Debatable. Probably lighter than a Dogma however. Looking forward to seeing the results from the big ring challenge! (We used to run 52/42 & 11-25 in the old days, and didn't die! Can't do that anymore.)
Lovely looking bike, it's difficult to beat a new bike day. You are making several changes to personalise the bike, which is understandable, but I can remember requesting many such changes when making the purchase, as in not being forced to purchase stock and then forking out a fortune for all the new parts. Difficult to understand why such a service is not available now.
it's a nice bike, deeper rims on an aero bike might be a buff? btw whatever happened to that Madone slr9 Ollie rolled out as his new ride 5 years ago and was never once seen again?
20 years ago this would have been my bike of choice. Now I’d go for the ultimate with its more relaxed position but the iridescent purple colour is gorgeous. Why are so many bicycle colours so dull like the ultimate?
Own the white MVDP Edition. A few days ago i noticed some small cracks in the paint in the seatpost area... Canyon will check this, maybe the frame is damaged...
Thanks for info. I am just considering to buy aeroad cfr with zipp 454 TL Hookless because I have already an ultimate slx9 di2 with 50mm arc 1100 about 1400 gramms I consider as a good climbweight I use the bike for travelling in winterseason. But I would like the aeroad cfr with rhe zipps for the North Denmark flats and smaller hills in the summerhalfyear. The 454 BSW only 1400 gr. 300 gr. lighter than the arc 1100 dicut 62 mm when you look at the canyonpage…..
What do you think of Ollie's new Canyon Aeroad CFR? 🧐 Let us know in the comments below! 💬
Fantastic bike… however not much change I guess from £10,000
stupid choice, good luck with CP0018 cockpit with weak interface and proprietary
New Pinarello and new Aeroad? Someone has been good boy recently...And thank you Canyon for some colour for a change.
He has indeed, but if I'm going to be jealous of anyone, it's Andy(😂). He just got all those new Park tools in a rolling case!
I recall Ollie's face, and disappointment, when presented with the matt black Pinarello recently. Look at his little face now, bless him! 😍
So much nicer than the boring black Pinarello!
That purple looks amazing. Enjoy Ollie.
thanks pal!

Totally deserves a deeper set of wheels!
This has the feel of a time trial bike out on a training ride. Totally needs deeper wheels. What’s the point of an aero bike with climbing wheels?

Deeper wheels would have suited the Aeroad much better! 50mm minimum for that aero frame, aesthetically around 60mm even, especially on a Large frame

Beautiful bike. I’d like to see a performance comparison video between this CFR and Ollie’s lighter Ultimate CFR. Climbing, TT times under same watts and such.
Yes, I would also love to see this. I have an Ultimate and struggle now between Ultimate and Aeroad, in exactly Ollies build ;-)
Didn’t Ollie just get 2 new bikes? The Pinerello and the Orbea?
cant have enough bikes
Yes I thought that! At least this one is a nice colour
N+1😉

Sick bike, Ollie! Can’t wait to snatch my Canyon aero road here very shortly. Will be a massive upgrade from my current bike.
I literally today rode 100k on my new Aeroad CF SLX 8 for the first time. Couldn't be happier for the both of us ❤🎉

I have the Aeroad CFR Tokyo.
Just need a few more things for it to be built and ride-ready!
That purple is striking nonetheless. Nice
I very much like CFR Tokyo 😵💫👍
I'm deciding between this and Orca Aero, which Ollie used to have. Which one is better?
Congrats Ollie! Have fun in your new ride!!

What a beautiful piece of 'bicycle engineering'. Nice work Ollie, looking forward to hearing how it rides and any mods you try out on it.
Waxed chain was the first mod!
That is an awesome bike. Id love to see a video to compare the speed to other bikes you rode.
Also. The price difference youl paid to gain that extra speed.

Hi Ollie ! It is none of my business , you bought it with your own money , God Bless ! REAL NICE !! CLASS. !!!

Sad. Did you go for the hub motor or the bottom bracket motor ?
great bike, Ollie, congrats!! One question, did they keep the stepped seat post to make it more compliant, or is it the same profile all the way through?
I got the previous SLX version and love it. I had some problems with seatpost noise, but that went away when I applied some really gooey grease to the frame seal. The bike shipped with a very thin white grease that you were supposed to use there, but it was useless. cheers, Eckhard

What a BEAUTIFUL BIKE. I would love to ride a bike like yours just to see what it feels like. I just don't want to pay for it. Have fun Olie!
Which handlebar tape is your favorite? Will you swap out the stock Canyon tape?
Awesome bike and great video! Cheers!
Hang on…the last GCN video I saw,was when Ollie went to see Mr Pinarello for his new bike!!
I said to myself I could buy this when I did my sub 10 ironman, but is it worth it for an avg rider :/?

What a weapon. And the bike 😉
What a beautiful great bike ❤I love the color❤❤❤
I would go for that colour too, looks amazing, have fun! 🙂

Thanks for info.

But I would like the aeroad cfr with rhe zipps for the North Denmark flats and smaller hills in the summerhalfyear. The 454 BSW only 1400 gr. 300 gr. lighter than the arc 1100 dicut 62 mm when you look at the canyonpage…..
decisions decisions ! It's never an easy thing!
bikes are so similar this days. Own Giant Propel, same lever same seat post clamp, similar shape, are we hitting the plateau with road bikes??
i LOVE that color 😍 have fun with it!
