The Canyon love thread

I think the difference is still the same - as in they have not just made 2012 slx into cf 2013.

The spec on 2013 CF is higher though - you get ksyrium elites where you would last year get ksyrium equippes.

Hi Valy, thx for ur information. But i just bought the frame set. So 2013 Ult Cf = 2012 Ult Cf slx ?

I just asked the swedish Canyonrep and no difference between 2012 and 2013 CF framesets. In other words frameset is the same 2012 and 2013.

What is the largest tyre size that will fit into an Ultimate AL frame and fork?

Has anyone tried them with 27mm Challenge Parigi Roubaix or Vittoria Pave?

[Valy]

Probably best emails Canyon direct. I got 25mm on Ultimate CF but not sure I'd wanna go any bigger as the chainstays and brake-tire clearance is pretty tight.

Not tried but have an AL 2013 and checked that 27mm should not be a problem.

It's too big... thank god. My powers of self control would have been sorely tested.

[ultyguy]

I know, was digging around the interweb for hoste's height and position to see if it would work. Funnily enough, he's listed anywhere from 178-183cm. I'm guessing closer to 183 side. His position never looked very aggressive at all though.

Also, from other pics, I think he ran conti 28s on this, prob longer fork rake too?

Any better pics?
Did you build up the bike yourself or is it a complete off the shelf bike from Canyon?


Having an Ultimate AL 2010 myself I'm considering an extra Ultimate AL 2013 bike.
