I am looking at the Canyon Aeroad and the Ultimate bikes. Do they have major differences in geometry which would impact my fit?

The Canyon Aeroad and the Ultimate geometry is either the same or really close if the same sizes are compared. It follows that there will be no considerable difference in fit between the two models. In cases like these, however, it is important to take proper sizing into consideration as that has more influence on riding than the geometrical distinctions which are more or less insignificant.

Interesting to see you went from a Small Aeroad to the XS Ultimate for your second Canyon.  I'm 68" with 30.5" inseam, so smack dab right in between a S & XS.  May I ask your measurements, which I think will be valuable in deciding which way to go on a new Aeroad.  I know our body types may be wildly different, but when you have to buy a bike online without proper sizing, getting help from the community is better than nothing.  TIA Travis ...

Thanks for this comparison. I was attracted to the Ultimate as a fast bike that will fit some pretty large tires for light gravel riding (i.e., it'll take 32s), but I understand the Aeroad has the same tire clearance. Can you verify? Thanks!

Great review! Looks Canyon makeup a good bikes. I dont understand why do you choose a size s for a aeroad and a xs for a ultimate...
What Saddle height do you use?
Keep upload more content! Great job!

Very nice review, what’s your inseam and saddle height? Thanks

Great review, thanks. I’m planning on purchasing the Aeroad once it becomes available. I’m 5’11 with 32” inseam, do you think medium is the right size for me?

Hi Travis, I'm wondering what your height is. I'm looking to get the Ultimate and I'm 5'6" (167.64cm). I'm not sure if I should get get suggested XS or size down to XXS.

Great content. I've been looking at getting the ultimate. What height are you in cm and what size is your bike? Thanks

Hi Travis. Thank you for the content. Unfortunately when I came across it, I had already ordered my Aeroad on size SMALL. I’m 5’4 and it just didn’t feel right. Fortunately I was able to exchange it for a XS. Based on the fact that my previous bike was S I can now say that Canyon bikes run large. Either downside or consult a professional fitter and he will advise based on the measurements. Thank you again

Hi Travis, Would you have preferred a XS over the SM with the canyon aeroad? I’m debating between getting XS or SM I’m 5’7” with 30 inseam and 140lbs.

Was thinking of getting an Ultimate but i'm inbetween sizes of Small and XS. Have only tested an Endurace in small and although the size was ok, i did feel a tiny bit stretched out. The XS geometry just looks too small going by the numbers.

Great review Travis. You made a lot of sense. I’m also in between 2 sizes. I’m 5’5”, 29.5” inseam, so I’m XS/XXS. Canyon suggest XXS, but all the measurements from my old bike on which I’d was really comfy are shouting XS at me??
I’m in the UK so I can get a flight over to canyon for about $60. Might be worth just going over to try both sizes. I’m also stuck between on whether to have the Ultimate or the Endurace? And Di2 or Etap?

I'm looking at getting an Ultimate and the site suggests I get a small but you mention you've gone for and XS so I was wondering how tall you are?  Thanks

Do 28mm GP5000 tyres fit the Ultimate Ultegra rim break version?

I wonder if you swapped wheels if the ultimate would be faster ?

I have the ultimate cf slx 2018 Campagnolo Super Record Mechanical with Bora one 35 clinchers and the Ultimate cf slx in the previous version 2014 in Dura Ace.  The newer version is definitely faster.   I would say around 7% faster on all my routes.  My main point though is that you’re comparing apples and pears.  Different wheels, tyres, saddles.  These all make a difference.

How tall are you? Just wondering about the sizes, go one smaller for comfort

May I know how tall are you? You mentioned the ultimate is XS size.

You are more stretched out on the Aeroad with the longer stem and reach though.

Hey Travis, I hope you get to check out my comment soon/ or anyone who has the experience of ordering Canyon bikes online. The size calculator on Canyon website indicates that I should go for a S. And I usually ride M. So did you follow the results that came out or you sized up? Appreciate any feedback here. Thanks a lot.

hi, I'm stuck between getting XS or S for Ultimate. My inseam is 81. Your Ultimate is XS, can you share what is your height and inseam size?
