I can't speak to the US site, but have to assume that they definitely haven't been on sale yet. My guess (hope?): The fact that the current model is listed as sold out means that the Aeroad will appear as a new, separate listing and SKU once it becomes available again, which might hint at a new configuration (12 speed Shimano?).

On the other hand: Canyon's bikes are listed as sold out only to become available again later all the time. On the german site the Aeroad is also still listed as available soon.
When I chatted up a tech about 2 weeks ago when I was still thinking of trying to get an Aeroad, they said that when bikes come back "in stock" on the US site they will come with 11spd until those are gone.

Other models with DA9200 are listed for summer currently, so dont think we will see 12 speed Shimano Aeroads before that

Also still no word on my order :(

Meanwhile other manufacturers are shipping Ultegra 12 speed equipped bikes right now - although in limited numbers obviously. Nevertheless it's strange that Canyon doesn't have a single Ultegra 8100 model announced yet. Really tired of waiting at this point.

I just think it's wierd that thay only have one Aeroad with 12 speed announced. It was supposed to be their flagship bike and now the aging Ultimate get's the new groups first :(

Given that I ordered the same bike on the same day (and in the same country) I really don't regret buying another bike last winter. Though I still have a wild thought of buying an Aeroad once Canyon hopefully sorts out everything.

Are there any tips on how to package the bike for the repair? I am really struggling with the handlebar as the Di2 buttons get pressed all the time when I am trying to get the bike into the box. I am afraid that this will damage the battery or the group set.

Can someone who ha s a size small SLX or CFR measure the handlebar width in its smallest setting? I’m curious if it’s actually 37cm or slightly smaller. I also heard that there were plans on a “pro version” bar. If anyone has any info about that please do tell.

I just noticed. Guess they read my comment and felt challenged :)

Unfortunately they basically replaced all 2XS Endurace sizes with women's version and small 650B wheels. Otherwise I might be tempted to get the CF SL 8 Aero to make the wait for an 8100 equipped Aeroad much more bearable.

I have my small setup at 390mm setting and it's spot on at 39cm wide. The next and last narrower setting is 380mm. This is also the case for my wife's 2XS. There isn't a 370mm setting AFAIK.

Recieved delivery notice for my SLX di2 (blue) model in XS the day before yesterday with estimated delivery in the start of February. Wrote to them that I would prefer to update my order to the upgraded 12 speed version and would be ok to wait a bit longer - I am really not interested in buying a new full price bike and receive "last year's model". I was told that they expect that the 12 speed models would be made available to order in May, but the delivery times where unclear at the moment. So far they haven't replied to my request to update, but I would suspect the answer would be the same as the rest of you have received: cancel your current order and take your chances...

Unplug the Di2 cable on the derailleure. When I sent my back I also wrapped the levers in cardboard protectors and used a little masking tape to hold them secure.

The US website says a size small has a 39cm bar with +/-20mm adjustment. Is this just wrong then?

Has anyone got a large CFR yet? what was the weight?

Also what is the max tyre clearence?

I am tempted to order one this summer when the DA12 comes but I am still favourite just getting DA12 for my Cervelo S3.

I also had difficulties with shipping the bike back and the handlbar. Everything else made sense, but it was just awkward for the bar. I also had AXS so probably easier than di2.

As far as tire clearance. I am running a GP5000 on 21mm ID rims and running a 28mm and there looks like there is easily room for a 30mm and possible a 32mm. Front looks to be able to run whatever you damn well please.

Can't give you a weight as mine is the SLX.

I can only speak for my Small and my wife's 2XS. Both have the same bars that go down to 380mm at its narrowest setting. If there's something smaller available from Canyon, they didn't ship it to my house. :?
