Why The NEW 2024 Canyon Aeroad Might Be The END Of Exciting Aero Road Bikes

What a dumb video title…

There's something about last version that makes it more classy. Not a fan of the glassy finish and mirror decals. Last head tube looked much nicer. Cleaner bars. And yeah, default should be aero flares on an aero focused bike.

It isnt an Aero-Bike!

While I dont think there is a lot of improvements that will be done in form of aerodynamics on the bikes, there is definitely room for improvement on even the latest bikes like this Canyon. Like ease of maintenance, adjustability, customisation. Tyre clearance of 32mm already seems too small the bigger tyre trend. And in addition I would want the weight to be even lower as 7,1kg is excluding pedals, computers etc.

What is really boring about this bike is the color. So tired of dull, gun metal, primer grey paint. Jeesh!

Full of your negatives - then goes on to say how amazing it is. How it has all the best parts of competitors bikes 😂😂 weirdo

BMC teammachine 01 was the first with most of these things you mention :)

Wish they offered it in frame/fork.

Very underwhelming update imo and many of the bikes have a dated design now. I have the ultimate and waited for this release but it seems to be a waste of time, the scott foil RC and orbea orca aero are both better looking bikes imo and will probably be my next purchase unless Canyon reduce the price for this release. Glad to see they did away with the staggered depth wheels for the XS/S sizes, or at least it looks that way for now........

Riding a bike that looks good is more fun than riding a bike that looks like the most boring piece of wedge shaped carbon on earth.

I prefed the Scott Foil

disc for dirt, rim for road enough said

So the end of aero bikes is an aero bike that does everything including being aero? And it’s more affordable than similarly speced bikes from other brands. Seems pretty solid all the way around

I have dropout protectors on a 2017 Merida Scultura 400 SE.

Your seat is too high

Hi, does someone know if they changed their seatpost (which had some problems) ?

Don't buy this one! Buy the Cube that Biniam Girmay is riding :)

I apologise for the mistake in hearing the weight and that is an impressive weight for an aero bike👍👍 Of course the price is like a sledgehammer to the foot ⚽s but it is significantly cheaper than all the other brands, so buying the other brands could be likened to a wrecking Ball to the ⚽ s 😂😂

your man here, I think, is just jealous they flew GCN's man to Koblenz and therefore couldn't go full gush. both reviews are still great ads for Canyon...

Honestly that's a really stupid comment. It's perfectly priced. You can buy a Ford Bronco Raptor for $100k. Is the Bronco Raptor at least 10 x the value of that bike? Obviously, yes. Comparatively, the Bronco Raptor should probably be $200k. So is $9k a steal? For one of the best bikes in the world? Please, take my money.

Such a beautiful bike.

Beware of buying from Canyon. They have a terrible after sales service.
They refuse to sell a major structural component of the bike like a fork, right after the 3 year replacement service is over, arguing that they have a lack of spare parts. How is it possible not to have a stock of spare parts, right after 3 years?

If this is an aero bike, shouldnt the bars be as narrow as possible? Why the flared drops?

When will we see innovation and free market capitalism making the bikes cheaper? Or is that just a myth? Cus in my book, they are going the wrong way.

So how much did Canyon pay for this ad?

Finding a buyer in the resale market will be a challenge with a fixed stem length.

IF bike manufacturers tell you 32mm tires and disc brakes are the way to go You buy it. If aero bikes are the way to go, You buy it. Manufactueres decide what You buy. You no longer have a choice.

Or buy the Aeroad cf slx 7 you don't need that 1kg weight advantage if you're not a pro

What I find odd is that so many non racing club riders , or riders who don't even ride with a club, buy these expensive hard to maintain aero bikes. It's like buying a formulae 1 car for the commute to work.

I want one!!!

Love this review🎉

My 8000 euro Ducati is faster... Sorry

Most successful was base on 2016 models, this models should have been upgraded to a more lighter 2024 carbon material.

Nah , Dare's soon to be released new velocity ace is far more mental.

all bikes are the same, what did you mean boring? what is not boring?

Does the Seatpost squeak on this generation ?

I just got a new CF SLX, after two years on the predecessor, also a CF SLX. The new one is better in every possible way. Most notably more comfortable. The 28 Pirellis are more comfy than the 30 Corsa Pros I had on its predecessor. A very smooth, fast, comfortable bike. Someone asked below about large thighs. My 80cm thighs don't rub anything. I got an M because I have long femurs. Only change I needed was bolting on some Force crankarms in 165. 200 Euros later, and done. Lots of talk and speculation in the comments, just thought word from someone who has one might help. Thanks.

I just receive mine and I have a cracking noise on the Seat post . It seem that it's untighten After 10 min ride .

Aero bikes with Alpine gearing, not for me.

Hello rich idiots with no talent... This bike is for you to jist make you feel amd believe you are a TDF. Good enough to impress your mates as you park your bike in the hippest road side cafe and ride to the bike shop and adjust your discs to silence that slight rubbing sound.

I would a cervelo over this

i think i like it a LOT - good review ;)

Fantastic bike but way out of my reach financially so it is actually depressing rather than exciting... just like a Ferrari that is a fantastic car but unobtainable to anyone who doesn't have money to burn....over 9 grand....get real

Would be interesting to know just exactly how much profit is made on a bike like that!!!

Watching this as if i could afford that

WTF is with T25? Most seat bag tools don’t have T25 in them if needed on the road.
And still pressfit Bottom
Bracket? 😤
Hookless rim? That’s a definite no no

I dislike their business model and their outrageous prices. No retailer, no customization, no brand heritage but you pay 10k for their roadbike. Simply ridiculous.

I want to try
