Ultra-Lightweight Road Bikes

Canyon's New 'Ultimate CFR Di2' Was Designed for Serious Cyclists

— September 8, 2022 — Eco
High-end road bike company Canyon has officially unveiled the fifth generation of its flagship Ultimate model called the 'Ultimate CFR Di2.'

The newest version arrives with some major upgrades, including a more ergonomic and comfort-first design, a reduction in drag, higher tire clearance, improved cable integrations, and an easy-to-use width and height adjustment system. However, the most notable feature of the new Ultimate CFR Di2 is its lightweight construction; the entire bike weighs less than 14 pounds. In addition, the new bike comes equipped with a 3D-printed computer mount, a carbon bottle holder, two carbon seat post options, and a rechargeable flashing backlight.

For those interested, the Ultimate CFR Di2 is now available to purchase on Canyon's website.
