Sumarize
Diving into the specs of the Ultimate CF SL 8 Aero by Canyon, it's clear this bike is a speed demon's dream, marrying aerodynamics with top-tier components for a ride that's both fast and featherlight. Canyon's latest iteration of the Ultimate frame, the 5th-generation CF SL, is the backbone of this road warrior. Constructed from carbon for the perfect blend of strength, stiffness, and minimal weight, it's engineered to cut through air like a knife. The bike's adherence to aero efficiency doesn't stop at the frame; every component, including the 50mm deep-section DT Swiss ARC 1600 wheels and the Canyon FK0104 CF carbon fork, is optimized for slicing through wind resistance. The groupset is nothing to scoff at either. Sporting Shimano's Ultegra Di2 R8170 12-speed brakes with a two-piston setup for precise stopping power, coupled with the Ultegra Di2 R8150 rear derailleur, gear shifts are not only seamless but virtually instantaneous – a boon when every second counts. This setup is not just about speed; it's about control, reliability, and performance, ensuring that whether you're tackling a local crit or setting your sights on a Gran Fondo, the Ultimate CF SL 8 Aero is equipped to propel you to the front of the pack. This bike stands as a testament to Canyon's promise: wind-tunnel sculpted speed at a value that's hard to beat.

VERDICT: The 2023 Ultimate is the people’s Aeroad
Will Jones
An extremely competent all-around race machine. While not a full-on aero bike it can hold its own on the flats and it excels in the hills, both up and down.
- +Beautifully balanced handling
- +Considered aero touches
- +Still feels like a climbers bike
- -Still some proprietary touches
- -Threaded BB would be preferable
- -No 0mm seat post option
Mike Hunger
- Nimble handling
- Increased robustness as a development goal
- Adjustability of the cockpit
- Lightweight yet good downhill riding characteristics
- Tire-wheel combination loses precision in fast descents when braking.
Liam Cahill
The Ultimate is a brilliant race bike – fast, comfortable and handles well
