Canyon previewed at this year’s Eurobike show the disc-equipped road racers the German direct-to-consumer brand plans to supply to its Katusha and Movistar teams for testing this autumn. Canyon officially referred to its Ultimate CF SLX Disc showpiece as a ‘concept’ but make no mistake – this bike is coming to the public, and we’re guessing sooner than later.

We obviously haven’t had a chance to ride Canyon’s new Ultimate CF SLX Disc but from what we can tell, it’s going to be one hell of a bike. Based closely on the recently revamped standard Ultimate CF SLX, the Disc variant gets front and rear 12mm thru-axles instead of quick-release dropouts, and the latest flat-mount disc brake calipers at both ends.
