Road disc brakes will be available on every 2017 Canyon road bike platform — Ultimate, Aeroad and Endurace. You'll soon be able to buy a disc-equipped Endurace or Ultimate for comfortably less than £2,000 / $2,500 / AU$3,000, with high-end options available as well.
The consumer-direct brand is taking orders for the bikes on its website now. Riders in the United States cannot yet buy Canyon, but that will change next year.

The new Canyon disc brake bikes for 2017
We’ve seen road disc brake models from Canyon before, but they’ve been restricted to a select few top-end models, like the racy Ultimate CF SLX which we ogled at Eurobike 2015 (but never got released), and the comfort-focused Endurace CF SLX, which launched this year to great interest.
The big news here though is that variants of each of Canyon’s three road bike platforms (Ultimate, Aeroad and Endurace) are now getting hydraulic braking. The Aeroad has fewer disc brake options than the other two, for now at least, but it’s definitely exciting for consumers.
Some features are common to all the bikes: 12mm thru-axles front and rear, 160mm rotors front and rear, except for the 2XS frame sizes, Flat Mount comes as standard. To prevent excessive heat build-up and resist the high braking forces generated, Canyon has reinforced the construction and carbon layup on the non-drive side of each frame.
