  • Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
  • Canyon has finally launched the latest, fifth-generation of its Ultimate road race bike, and it’s evolution, rather than revolution for the German direct-to-consumer brand.
    In fact, unless you look closely, we wouldn’t blame you for struggling to spot the difference versus the old one, but Canyon has been hard at work optimising the platform to bring it bang up to date.
    In this video we are going to give you all the key details that you need to know about the latest model of the Canyon Ultimate AND Ash Quinlan will give you his ride report from the global launch.
    So, what’s new? Well, quite a lot actually. Although it looks very similar to the previous generation, Canyon has again teamed up with aero specialists Swiss Side to give the entire frame an aero polish that saves a claimed 5 watts of drag at 45kph with a rider aboard.
    What do you think of the new Canyon Ultimate? Has Canyon created a great all rounder, or were you hoping for more radical changes? Let us know in the comments!
    We’ll be getting the Ultimate CFR in for testing in the coming weeks, and you’ll be able to catch that full review on BikeRadar.com. Let us know in the comments if you’d like to see a full video review too!

It's a simple calculation: according to Canyon themselves the L size of the new Ultimate has a sea-tube-lenght of 540mm and a sea-post of total 316mm. So 540 + 316 - minimum insert =?! Just calculate the maximum seat-height you could have, not the one Canyon estimates and then think: for someone who is 1,88, like I am, what's the typica seat-height. Mor ethan 810mm, I can tell you that. And you'll never get that with an L, or any other bike with a 540mm seat-tube. Unless it's a MTB and you have 400mm seat-posts

    I ordered the SL 7 eTap version and despite the rising prices (500€ more expensive than the 4th gen for the exact same spec), my main concern is the wheel choice. It is supposed to be their climbing bike and all of the versions that are more expensive than mine got aero wheels (50 mm deep) which is non sense for me. If I wanted an aero bike, I would have bought the aeroad !

    @BikeRadar.... While it is a nice bike, I don't like propritary stems, handle bars and seat posts as it limits your options if their is a recall on those items, or if you want to upgrade, or should you want sell your bike. Also Canyons colorway while nice doesn't exactly set the world on fire.

      But which brand isn’t going propriety for upper end models these days ?
      And I’ve done 25,000km on my previous version Ultimate CF SLX - it had fewer proprietary however there has been no need to change anything in that time (what’s to upgrade when it’s already near peak spec) so proprietary wouldn’t have been an issue. But there’s lots of DIY cyclists out there and it seems no matter which brand you go these days, those people have limited choices

      If you don’t want proprietary, then how are you going to steer? I guess we could clamp on some Vice grips. This cockpit is amazing and CLEAN!
      Change of subject…However, Canyon has significant issues with frames cracking right now. It may be for the frames made during the Covid timeframe. There are some amazing amounts per some blogs and sites. I’ll find out after they replace mine if a proper made frame can last more than 3000 miles in 6 months. It’s been with Canyon for 4 weeks, and they state 6-8 weeks for a determination. I would say a 6 month old bike without a crash or a scratch…Should be a 5 minute job. So, bought a Pinarello in the meantime and have 2400 mile on it. I am not super happy with Canyon about this situation.

    Is there any point in upgrading from the 2017 model I wonder. The 4 watt saving is exciting. I can’t imagine the lengths their confirmation bias scientists spent coming up with that data. I truly can’t decide between upgrading my existing, ancient and soon to be redundant, Canyon Ultimate or saving a few thousand and buying a brand new Ducati Monster. With the money left over I could buy the 2019 Ultimate. Hmm, real dilemma.

    After listening to my friend's story of being a canyon owner experience, I will not dare to buy a Canyon. Basically they have poor after sale service. The Canyon Aeroad range has a flawed design engineering concerning the seat post clamping method. It only has a single bolt and a very small surface clamping area. There are risky incidents where the seat post will suddenly slip. The Canyon team offered no real solution to that and neither offer to replace his bike.

    Bikes really all look the same now. SL7, Cannondale supersix, latest Scott, most recently the giant propel that looks merged with the TCR, then all the others, and the Chinese ones on top of that. Dengfu r12, workswell, velobuild, ican, winspace and so on. Pinarello dogma and trek domane still look different, but other than that, the differences between climbing bikes and aero bikes from one brand to the next really are anecdotal.

      I mean, steel bikes all looked the same and nobody complained then. I do get you though. Ultimately, there's only one "most aero" frame shape, and each manufacturer is just trying to get as close as possible to that while staying within the UCI rules. It is what it is.

      It said 5W with the rider on, so for all we know the bike is less aero and the rider is assumed to wear closer fitting clothing? Those claims are never validated externally, and never consistent, because you can't save that many watts every year without fail, the bikes would be pedaling themselves by now.

Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)
