The New Canyon Aeroad Blew My Mind

[@korporalkarrot]

I think this bike could be huge for the casual triathlon market. The ability to add the Speedmax TT cockpit to a 1 piece carbon bar is a game changer IMO.

[@digiay]

Yes, that is exactly what makes me excited about this bike! I want a bike which is usable for normal riding on the street, but it can also be used in tri races. Many triathletes only use the tt bike for the races. While it isn't as fast as an tt bike, you'll be awfully close with this one.

[@thnkfrsh]

It turns out Shimano doesn't offer wireless shifters for tri bars. I'm very much intrigued by those new clip-on tri-bars, but without shifters it's meh (considering you have Di2 version). Also, there's no place to set up traditional hydration system

[@korporalkarrot]

Crank length still 170 on size XS, and no apparent way of ordering something shorter. Means more unnecessary after-purchase expense.

You are correct, contacted Canyon to confirm and was blown away, other manufactures are doing 165s on their smaller frames

[@osh111]

[@FelixRisingOriginal]

[@HiltonMoyle]

It definitely deserved more than "pretty good" imo. As a normal person that doesn't have endless amounts of money and time to spend on bikes/parts and service, the fact that you can adjust the bars, change the stem height ( down AND up!) without sawing carbon and getting cancer in my tiny living space, and that all the bolts are the same is sick! I'm willing to change out a bottle cage instead of all the extra parts and tools needed for other bikes. I get that not everyone likes the Canyon model and the whole skipping the middle man thing, but not only do they offer great bang for buck, they are even adding extra finesse to their bikes for a lower price than competitors. What's not to like?

[@svenerlandsson5211]

And all this about it's hard to get a LBS for service? Canyon has a list of LBS that's certified and recommended. My closest is just under 50 km from where I live - OK for me.

You can never judge durability by the pro races. Motorsports are infamous for this. There's a reason racing machines breakdown so often. These bars may be quite safe and durable. They also may be mediocre and get replaced all the time by the pro team mechanics. We can't use their performance as judge.

I’d love to be able to ditch my multitools and just ride knowing I can still fix anything that might crop up during a ride. Very neat. Also really like the width adjustable bar since every bike comes with a too-wide bar for me. A bit of a bummer that you’re really SOL if the stem length is off though. I dig the car analogies.

I bought myself the previous Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8 10 months ago. Living in germany, canyon is a pretty dominant brand here - about 1 in 10 roadbikes is a canyon here. Together with Rose another german brand, they are most seen around here. The reason for this is simple. The products are very well developed and relativly cheap in the premium sector. They offer a wide range, so any rider type will find something for them. But this comes with a downside as some already pointed out. They try their best to be close to the customer and support their buying decision. You can go try out any bike of them in their factory outlet in Koblenz no matter the price or what you look like. They sponsor many events in germany and always have products to try out and fall in love with - but once you bought their products their after sales is kind of trash. Support, replacements and guarantee handling is always slow and icky. It is said, their support can't handle the volume. They say that now for 4 years since covid striked. The biggest downside I see with the new itteration of products, is their pricing strategy. They kept the prices of their top end products almost the same, but the medium range products like the Aeroad cf slx 8 here, got a hefty raise. I bought mine 10 months ago, for about 5300€. The new model is 7000€! Almost 2k more, for a refined but not revolutionary product. This is way too much for the young adults in their 20s who typically ride this bike. For people in their mid 20s making 35-55k a year, this is just insane. I guess, its not meant for them anymore

[@Servellia]

The aftermarket spare parts bit couldnt be more true. I tried to repair / service my dropper post on the Rose Ground Control and had to search long and far to find the actual OEM, that builds that thing to find what I needed to replace. Given the time I invested it might have been actual cheaper to just buy a new one alltogether.

[@TheCharnwoodCyclist]

Couple of questions on this How are Canyon managing the brake hoses on these adjustable bars, they must come pre installed for the widest setting, how do the hoses look on the narrow setting? Steerer, if you can slam the stem by removing spacers but still don’t have steerer tube sticking out the top then how much of the stem is clamping the steerer tube when the spacers are fitted? I would like to see you go into these details a little more in the videos if possible.

[@erikmmartens]

Just bought the previous iteration a few months back. The new handle bars are really nice because they have the Gear Groove which allows you to attach Canyon's aero bars.Thinking about buying those handle bars separately at some point in the future. Rest of the changes are hardly a difference maker. But same with upgrading phones, laptops etc. year to year.

Any "problem" they've mad eit up to me (even sent me new bars and new bar tape AND given me money to get a bike store to install it). The drops are also strong enough in any sprint. I've tested and they're good up to my 1300w ability lol. Oh and Van der Poel's testing them too so I GUESS they're fine. Also, the canyon cages are extra money. Never knew they were that weird.

Definitely there is a trend - very long top tubes making you nearly lie down on the bike to reach the hoods.

One frustration as an owner of the previous edition that’s very similar, Canyon don’t sell the different length cockpits even if you want to pay for it aftermarket.

So a warning to potential buyers, if the reach is not good for you.. you’re stuck with it.

I’d love a Canyon. Went to buy one a year or two ago but abruptly failed when I put in my address in Northern Ireland. Turns out that due to Brexit they don’t ship here (yes, that’s right, that thing that happened ages ago). My hard earned cash went to Giant instead. Pretty poor for a company trumpeting how good they are to consumers & can ship to the other side of the world. Below from Canyon website re NI delivery. A TLDR version is that they said in 2021 it would take a short time to get their systems set up to deliver to NI… “The good news is we have now restarted shipments for our full portfolio of bikes and accessories to the UK. We are excited to announce that as of Tuesday the 23rd of February 2021 we can now take orders and are shipping ebikes to the UK once more. We have extensive experience in shipping bikes all over the world and will only have to make small changes. This means the purchasing process through Canyon after Brexit is unchanged to you, the customer, as we handle everything needed to ensure your Canyon order arrives swiftly and safely. The conditions on shipping to Northern Ireland are now different to mainland UK. This means we need to undertake additional systems changes to ensure we can ship bikes to Northern Ireland correctly. Unfortunately, this does mean that for a short time we will be unable to receive orders for shipment to Northern Ireland. We are working on completing these changes as soon as possible and once we have more information on when we will be able to continue transactions with Northern Ireland, we will post them here. As an alternative, a delivery to Ireland and Great Britain is still possible.”

doesnt covering up the through axle holes mean that you will not be able to use it on most indoor trainers? At least not the cheaper ones?

[@mikeymike1792]

Probably. But I imagine most people with £6k bikes are running fairly fancy turbos too.

You can purchase oyher bottle cages with the bike, and to be fair the bottle cages on your exemplar state very clearly they are designed for the canyon bottles!

Eight years ago, the last time I bought a new bike that came in a box, the local bike shop built it for me for $100. At least I'm pretty sure that's what I paid. May have been $150, but no more than that. Anyway, that bike looks awesome. More than I'd ever pay for a bike, but it is nice.

Could you review the new endurace CF 7 with 105 and DT-SWISS wheels. This is the best bang for your buck in the endurace lineup. Being a beginner cycler, I want a to buy a new bike after 2 years and I am waiting for them to release the new version at the end of this year

6:40 yeah... I also have my box of handlebars, stems and seats 🤣 the seats at least works as a decoration where the bikes are stored

[@axuh382]

Lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic!? They can't keep getting away with this 😱

[@mini_]

It's also more confidence inspiring.

LSA mantra 😅

Watch for the cracks when unboxing, last year my frame was cracked out of the box !

[@pierrex3226]

They can. That's called iterating and getting better at prepreg layup.

[@edt6488]

They can if it's true. The only difference it will make in most people's lives is in their bank accounts!

What size Scott Foil do / did you ride?
