Canyon bikes – yes or no?

    I’m looking at buying a new bike, been cycling for 2.5 years, started off with a basic Fuji, after a year upgraded to a Scott Speedster 10. While I like the bike it has just been dogged with little niggles. Almost full drive chain has been replaced, really annoying noise from left crank that despite being serviced 4 times now still hasn’t been eradicated. 

    But in a place in my cycling that I’d like to upgrade now anyway, to a bike I’d like to use for a few years hopefully, happy to spend around £2k, get decent spec etc. 

    I have my eye on a Canyon Ultimate CF SL. Anyone give any advice regarding canyon bikes, or even anything otherwise? 

    I generally cycle about 75-100 miles a week, over  2-3 rides, and occasionally try a sportive or a big route 70+ every couple months. Also like to climb minimum 2000ft each ride, 3000+ on a good day. 

    Any help appreciated.

    Choose the bike you want to purchase and add your size details including limb lengths, shoulder width etc. I am 177cm tall and the small fits perfectly. I bet a pound to a penny that you will be calculated to fit the small too.

     

    thanks for this I will have a look!

    Loved my Canyon Ultimate CF

    Loved my Canyon Ultimate CF SL as soon as I went for my maiden ride. Still loving the ride and if I ever thought about purchasing another bike then Canyon would be the first place I would look. I may get the Endurace once I am Pushing60! The sizing was right for me but this maybe was chance as you do not get to test ride the bike (unless you have a friend with one). 

    As it is online direct sales you do get a lot of bang for your buck but I was left feeling a little guilty that I didn’t purchase from my LBS (until that maiden ride).

    You will not be left disappointed with your purchase and for £2k you can get Full Ultrega groupset/Fizik Antares saddle/DT Swiss 1600 wheels and still have change for some accessories.

    I’ve found Canyon great, I

    I’ve found Canyon great, I love my Ultimate and the customer service has been brilliant everytime I’ve needed it.

    The value for money is unbelievable and I found the overall finish to be much better than a lot of bikes I tried (e.g. well though out hidden seatpost clamps, nice integration of headset and stem/bars, nicely placed metal chainstay protector).

    Ribble and Rose are both good options too!

    I love my Inflite and service

    I love my Inflite and service was great.

    I understand that’s not everyone’s experience.

    Perhaps have a look at Ribble as well, even if just to muck around on their bike builder, which is fun.
