    Fresh Wheels: 2023 Canyon Ultimate CF

    Jason MitchellBy Jason MitchellSeptember 8, 2022No Comments2 Mins Read

    It’s that time of year when new bikes and gear roll out. With all the product and manufacturing delays over the past two years, it’s refreshing to see new releases, like the 2023 Canyon Ultimate. With a pedigree high and deep, the Ultimate has single-handedly put the Canyon brand on the map. With wins at monuments, Grand Tours and World Championships, the Canyon Ultimate has been a staple of the pro peloton and now it’s getting faster, lighter, stiffer and more efficient.

    Heading into 2023, the racy Canyon Ultimate CF will continue with three carbon layup options: SL, SLX and CFR. Each becomes progressively stiffer, more responsive, lighter and more expensive (hey, hand built carbon fiber frames don’t come cheap). But, when I say expensive, Canyon’s direct-to-consumer business model allows for very competitive pricing so you don’t have to take out a second mortgage to get into one. And, since this is a race bike, every Shimano Di2 and SRAM eTap AXS model gets a power meter — definitely a differentiator if you’re shopping for a fast and responsive race bike.

    • Available in CF SL, CF SLX and CFR models
    • Unisex models only

That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. That passion is channeled into every article or gear review he writes. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground.
