Canyon ULTIMATE CF SLX 9.0 LTD

FOR SALE
CANYON ULTIMATE CF SLX 9.0 LTD + MAVIC W/SET
O.I.R.O £3500 (RRP: £4299)


For Sale (reluctantly) is my Canyon ULTIMATE CF SLX 9.0 LTD full-carbon road bike. I’ve had the bike from new since early 2015 and consequently have only done a few 100 miles on it last summer, which is reflected in the near mint condition of the bike. I don't ride it in the wet and clean it after every ride, the bikes always stored in a dry environment and is well looked after.

Bike build & initial service done by renowned cycle shop ‘Paul Hewitt Cycles‘ (Preston) - Paul used to build wheels for Team GB's track bikes, so you can be sure this bikes been put together with the highest levels of precision.

The bikes a real looker - the stealth matte black paint job is really smart, it rides like a dream, the Campag Super-Record gear changes are instantaneous & crisp and with a net weight of just 6.2kg its a proper hill climbing monster!

Size wise - i'm 6ft, average build and the M size frame its just about perfect for me. check the Geometry grid in the picture below for detailed measurements.
In terms of specs, this bike really is the full package with combination of high-end components. The off-the-shelf prices of some key individual components soon rack up the penny's; Frame:  Canyon ULTIMATE CF SLX - £1500, Wheel-set: Mavic R-Sys SLR WTS Exlith 2 - £1299, Gear-set: Full Campagnolo Super Record11’s - £1800... you can soon appreciate the incredible job Canyon did to bring this bike to market at a cost of £4299 initially.

In summary this bikes BadAss. If your after a high end piece of kit for your summer season, you won't be left disappointed. This things super light & lightning quick, probably shaved about 30% off my previous strava times, especially on the lumpy stuff. Reluctant sale, currently saving to buy a house so needs must.
