I'm considering a Canyon Ultimate AL 9.0, with the Force Groupset and Ksyrium Equipe wheels. Canyon has it listed at 7.55kg, which sounds a bit optimistic to me. Does anyone have one of the Ultimate AL bikes that they've weighed? How does actual weight compare to Canyon's listed weight?

in 2007 Tour frames test they tested F8 alu. In size 58, frame was 1391g, 314g fork, 74g headset.

My 2006 F8 is 1271g in size 51, without the headset.
I never did weigh the replacement fork.

thats al pretty light, problerly very stiff to ?
sourcing for some sweet Ti frame deals do

Yes one of the stiffest lightweight alloy frames out there. Here's weight and stiffness comparisons with the well know Cannondale CAAD 9 alloy frameset: viewtopic.php?p=502521#p502521

This is taken from a test of 18 Ultegra bikes. You can see test results for all 18 bikes here: http://www.roadbike.de/test/bikes/test- ... 8708.9.htm

Just taken delivery of the Ultimate AL 9.0 SL and it weighs 7.2kg in XL with Look Keo2 Max pedals.
