New-ish Aeroad 2025

Has anyone considered (or recommend against) cutting down the unwanted width of the handlebar drops? shave some grams... Happens all the time on MTBs why not Canyon's drops? The clamping and leverage with the T bar should remain unaffected?

that's baked in to the design of MTB bars.. I dont think you have thought of this enough or atleast seen the bars in the flesh.

+1 I believe the more material is left there, the better for the the strength of the bar structure. I read somewhere that the nerrower you go on these the better (nobody was about to make any cuts).

I have seen it and played around with the width adjustment. If it structurally it works at its the widest setting, then the narrower setting is carrying excess material. The clamping / screw point is where the connection is made.

Hi Has anyone swapped the factory DTSWISS Arc 1400 or 1600 Wheelset and noticed an improvement to an already incredible bike? I am not getting along with the 25mm tyre width for the front wheel and while I can bump that up to 28-30mm, I've read elsewhere that its not a recommended fit for the front rim given the narrow intenral (20mm) and external (27mm) rim widths. DTSwiss recommends the 25mm as the optimised tyre width. Can you share more on this before I buy wider tyres, or just accept the spec of the wheels is outdated and therefore a wheel upgrade will provide a better result?

28c gp5000 str fits the ARC 50mm and 62mm variants without going over the outer width of the rim noticeably, i.e., it looks legit. 30c might be a bit too wide if you care about the looks. TBH, the performance differences between 1600, 1400, and 1100 are marginal, they are all stiff and durable. It is just the lower-tier variants are a bit heavy. If you go for other brands, say, Zipp, you might find Zipp's are softer in corners and the hub durability is trash. For Shimano's, it feels similar to DT's, but I don't like the fact that Shimano's hub is hard to tear down and maintain (it is durable for sure). So, DT's is overall very balanced, and will survive various torture with ease. A better upgrade would be something like a DT240/DT180 hub plus a rim from another brand, a common choice is ENVE.

using a set of ultegra 50mms they are stiff, but not particularly fast. reliable.... yes so far. the hubs are solidly built.

Sorry, I don´t get it.
You wrote the two bikes have 563mm and 473mm. This is a difference. Then, you say there is no difference? Could you please explain why there is no difference when at the same time the numbers are different by 9cm?

Thanks!

I didn't write those numbers. Someone else did. The two bikes are identical in stack and reach. Canyon is changing the provided reference measurement point from tops to hoods.

Sorry. My bad. My reply was meant to @FuCH.

Gents, to me there is a difference, but looks like it is not so obvious. If we compare the bikes at https://99spokes.com/en-NL/compare?bike ... r-ltd-2024, the dif will be in BB, rake and trail.

[BigBoyND]

We were talking about stack and reach.

Has anyone got their Di2 battery stored in the seat post? I don't really want to put it in the downtube, seat post would be much more preferable.

Does it fit into the seatpost? Can’t you just use bubble wrap and tape?

I've no idea, the bike is on order, should be around a month so I can't check yet!

I’ll check and report back, my groupset hasn’t been delivered yet, so will have to wait a bit

Perfect, thank you!

Hi anyone know if Canyon advertised weight includes or excludes the tubes? I know they weight the size Large. Combined for me, they measured 210gm when i took them off.

Thanks the feedback.. I am getting more and more feel for the ARC 1600 and you're spot on. I feel like they do let the bike down with the weight, and I've had a few scary cross wind moment that unsettled the front at high speed. I do enjoy the stiffness.

Of course the weight includes tubes.
