I have a Canyon CF SL7 with a Thru-axle like in the photos.
I bought Tacx Smart Flow and it turned out being incompatible 😅
Can anyone recommend a suitable home-trainer ?
Besides, I read somewhere that Canyon bikes shouldn't be used for hometrainers, is that correct? Anyone using Canyon Ultimate/ Aero for hometraining?

False you can use them. You can pop that little cap off and most should work fine on indoor trainers (as far as I understand).
Hand that with my endurace and worked fine. Main problem is not having that cap makes the bike not look as nice
Any direct drive trainer should work, just find as they interface with the bike just as your hub in your rear wheel. Examples would be the jet black victory (I have one and love it), wahoo kicker (also have and love).
You can also use rollers with any bike, it’s a lot.It’s a different workout and I’m not sure that I would recommend it as your only trainer, but it is a nice second trainer. If you get one.
The “wheel on” type trainers probably are not going to work with that bike.
Check out the jet black victory, though it’s about 400 dollars and best bang for the buck.
What a shame to put that bike on the roller
