I’m looking for a second Canyon road bike to complement my Speedmax CF SLX 8 Disc Di2 (Ultegra Di2), which is my main training + race bike for now
Use case is simple: I live in Switzerland (flats + long climbs), all-rounder that still feels fast for group rides.
It would be nice to have the ability to swap wheels with my Speedmax (both are disc).
I’m torn between:
- Ultimate CF 7 Di2: https://www.canyon.com/en-ch/road-bikes/race-bikes/ultimate/cf-sl/ultimate-cf-7-di2/4065.html
- Ultimate CF 7 Di2 Aero: https://www.canyon.com/en-ch/road-bikes/race-bikes/ultimate/cf-sl/ultimate-cf-7-di2-aero/4248.html
Any advice?
Thanks guys

Hi,
To be honest the 600CHF is not that much for the better wheels. The P1800 on the cheaper bike are kinda of heavy. I have the cheaper one an upgraded the Wheels to Leezy ones and it’s like a different world.
Why not Aeroad? I have had several of both, and much prefer Aeroad for all my riding. Don’t get me wrong, the Ultimate is a great bike, but I see no real benefits over the Aeroad. Maybe if you want to run 34s. Same stack/reach as Ultimate.
Same groupset, similar price, and quite a bit lighter:

An even better deal if you want to spend a bit more: [https://www.canyon.com/en-ch/road-bikes/aero-bikes/aeroad/cf-slx/aeroad-cf-slx-7-axs-nsw/4495.html](https://www.canyon.com/en-ch/road-bikes/aero-bikes/aeroad/cf-slx/aeroad-cf-slx-7-axs-nsw/4495.html)
