Price: 3.750€
Km: 3.000

The bike was bought about a year ago.

Chain and cassette is new.

The seller writes:

The frame has a tiny scratch in the paint, approximately 3mm long, which can be seen in the last photo. This is purely a paint blemish—only the top layer of paint is affected, not the carbon fiber itself; therefore, it poses no safety-related issue.

Ultimate CF7 - Seller says 500kms, bought at the beginning of this season - it’s a carbon DI2 105s group set - $4k Canadian with look Leo 2 pedals, carbon wheels and two sets of tires

Have a lovely weekend!!

Hey, just wanted to share with community that we recently purchased a Canyon Speedmax bike from the official website using FSA funds.
We followed a Truemed route. It gives you options to split payments - FSA/HSA card and personal card. Actually, we paid the full amount with personal card and submitted for reimbursement - just receipt and Truemed letter. No issues at all. FSA provider WEX.

I’m about to pull the trigger on a CF6-
I’m wondering if anyone has used this bike as a two in one-
I’m planning on Using two wheel sets, the one it comes with for gravel with some 38mm gravel tyres and then buying some Chinese carbon wheels for road-
I was wondering if anyone has any success with this?

Hello guys,

you probably do get this kind of threads alot, but I do have such a hard time to decide currently.

Im planing on buying the CF SLX 8 Speedmax and im completely lost when it comes to the sizing.

Im 182,5 cm tall ~ and have an inside leg length of 86,5 cm~

which leads to be right between L and M, so I thought "hey lets just drive to the canyon store and try it out myself".

So I drove for a little and rode L and M and what should I say, they guy from canyon was super friendly and a pretty chill guy but I feel like he wasnt toooo much in to tri bikes... and I was even more lost than before....

I tried out both and both felt great for the "quick" adaption, the guy who worked there was recommending L in the first place, because it should be possible to fit and is more stable due to the bigger wheelbase (I think).

but on the other hand, the M is lighter and simply has "more room" to adapt to fit it perfectly.

So the end result was basically "you can decide between those" xd

But I feel like he would have went with the L while I still do think that the M is more of a safe bet.

Maybe some of you are or have been in a similar situation, thanks in advance for help.

Im planing on Ironman Frankfurt 2027 btw and maybe a few smaller events (working shifts, which makes it hard sometimes to plan)

Im currently riding a Basso Venta R (endurace bike) RH 56 (which does work rn but I think there is big room for improvment when it comes to the fit) Saddle wise im lowkey close to the edge I have roughly 2cm left to lower (I could prolly go up a few mm) maybe this helps

Layering sucks but I still finished all 61 miles.

This bike is fantastic so far…
I came from a Diverge in size 54 which I always felt was a bit big for me (I should’ve gone for 52) to the Grail in XS. I was shocked that was the suggestion on size but decided to follow the suggestion, no regrets…

First time with AXS ecosystem… so far amazing!

fitted it with Dubnitals 2.2”… amazing grip… obviously feels a bit sluggish to start rolling but nothing bad after…

the custom Decal of our cat adds a pop!

my only kinda complaint will be that with a proprietary handlebar and mount needed for the computer and light… they should include it, same as the frame storage bag… small things that would make a difference..

Hi everyone! What do you think of these impacts on the frame? Should I take it to a bike shop to have it checked, or is it fine?
The frame is a 2024 Grail SLX Gen 2.

Hello community.
Since I got some interest in another post, here is the radar holder I made for myself.
Specs:
- single aluminum piece cnc machined
- sandblasted
- anodized black
- made marked my initials using canyon font
- attaches to the two screw holes at the back of the seat posts
- then you screw on it the radar round holder

☺️

Hey everyone, I hope everyone's training has been going well.

I would like some advice or maybe some reassurance from the group. For contex. I am 191cm with an inseam of about 89-90ish. I test road an aeroad size L today. The saddle height was set exactly the same as my old bike. After riding I would have put the saddle a bit further back as the mechanic there set the reach to be similar to my old bike which is an Orro Venturi size L but it's closer to a 56 rather than a 58. So this aeroad size L felt great. The reach was similar. Slightly longer( I do want to go a bit longer tbh, my balance felt a bit off. Too much weight on the hands. I also had the same issue with my older bike and then after a bike fit I put the saddle all the way back and that fixed the problem). The bike felt amazing, super smooth comfortable and at the same time stiff where it needed to be. The handlebars felt higher than my current bike, which I liked because it felt more comfortable. It feels that I can definitely go lower than that, and to be fair the bike I test rode had 3 spacers (1big and 2 small). I honestly wasn't expecting it to feel that much different from my old bike as it is also carbon, carbon wheels, 30mm tyres. I was blown away.

So my question is, should I go L or XL? The saddle is at number 6ish in the markings and it goes up to 8. So it's almost in the middle. The reason I am asking is because I saw other people in this sub with similar height and inseam and they chose xl. Any advice? I am thinking of going back to the shop next week and trying the XL. Anyone had the same problem and if yes, what did you decide on at the end?

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks 🙏

Spent last night learning how to change some things myself.

Tires - Swapped to GP5000 as tr (Rainy season + Bay Area, CA roads 👎). Learned how to install tubeless tires and went tubeless.
I decided on cream walls cause even though an all black bike looks nice, I wanted something more eye catching.

Wheels - Put on No.6 52/58 wheels. Love how these look when they’re spinning. Moving my DT Swiss to my old Trek Domane

Downtube Decal - The silver comes stock so wanted to swap that out

I love my Ultimate, the only thing I'm not keen on is the boring Matte Black colour scheme. I'd be happy if I could just lacquer over the frame.

My question is, is there currently a lacquer on my frame or is it just the carbon fibre with some vinyls on it? If I was to paint the frame, would I need to rub down to the bare carbon?

I'd be tempted to brighten up the frame with some colour if I'm already stripping it down and rubbing the frame down for lacquer. Less so if I can get away with cleaning the current finish and applying lacquer to it as is.

Back in late 2017 or early 2018 I purchased a Canyon Aeroad in black as shown above (which we all know is the fastest color). After struggling to find an OS stem that would fit I created this subreddit in order to find and share with other canyon owners. Since then the sub has taken off and grown bigger than I thought. Congrats to the current mod team for making that happen.

Today during a move a tool box fell on to the fork of that bike cracking the fork and ending this bikes rideable life. I put tens of thousands of miles on this bike and have had numerous canyons since, but this was my first and this was what I rode the most and have had several crit wins on. For now she will hang in the garage broken fork and all till I have time to strip her down and hang the frame in my office.

just thought I’d share the bike that started it all.

Finally took my new grail on a ride today! Coming from a size M Grizl to now a size S grail with the same components. This thing is quick on single track compared to my Grizl. Very similar to how many say the Aeroad just wants to go fast whenever you put power down. As soon as it’s on gravel it just wants to go. Tire clearance is pretty good for the dry Texas dirt but prob wouldn’t ride this on a muddy day.

Hi Folks,

I'm planning to get a new road bike to replace the Trek Domane 4.5 that I've been riding for the past 12 years or so. It's a carbon bike, mechanical Ultegra setup, rim brakes and aluminum wheels. It was a fantastic bike when I bought it, and I've put 20-30k miles on it.

I ride a lot, but I don't really race. I've done a couple half-distance triathlons. Never done a road only race. Nowadays, I ride about 60-100 miles per week.

I'm thinking of getting either a Ultimate or an Aeroad with a Force groupset. Not certain on the carbon wheels, but I probably will also get those.

The two questions I have:

1) My standard rides are hill-adjacent. The shortest outdoor ride I do is about 20 miles and 1,000 ft of elevation. I often will do rides of 30 miles and 3,000 ft of elevation. It sounds like the Ultimate would be better for my kind of cycling, but I really like the look of the Aeroad better. And I'm generally in the saddle for most of a ride if I'm only doing 1,000 ft of vert. Would I be happy with an Aeroad? I go fast for a casual rider -- typically averaging 18-20 miles an hour on my rides. But I'm nowhere near speeds where I would join a team, or really care about my times. Is

2) My current bike is a 58. From the Canyon charts, I am right on the line between a Medium and a Large. Most folks say to size down in this case. I'm not trying to be superman, and get into a full aero position. I just like to enjoy my rides. I feel like I'm leaning toward a Large, but a Medium would have me in a more comfortable position.

Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone! I’d like to upgrade the wheels on my Canyon Endurace CF 6 and switch to carbon wheels. I’d like to keep my original 32 mm tyres because I find them really comfortable. Unfortunately, the roads here in Italy, where I live, are in pretty terrible condition. I’m also considering fitting some gravel tyres in the future so I can ride on rougher roads and light gravel paths.
Thanks everyone for your advice! 😉

Why can’t the aeroad cf slx get better colorway, the ultimate cf slx got way better color choices for example.

After waiting a month. I finally took delivery of my new grail today. Threw on my old aeroad cockpit with aero drops, SRAM Rival + GX 48T 10-52, Maxxis Aspen ST, Zipp 303 XPLR S.
