Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8 AXS SPEED Carbon Disc Road Bike - L

With the same peloton-leading aerodynamics as the flagship Aeroad CFR, the Aeroad CF SLX is one of the world’s most efficient race bikes and a true aerodynamic masterpiece. To deliver the stiffness-to-weight levels that high-level racing demands, Aeroad CF SLX frames are constructed using a new, advanced carbon layup – generating performance on a par with the World Championship-winning previous-generation Aeroad CFR. The frame features special KAZE paintwork- the Japanese word for wind- and a reflection of the pure speed this bike delivers.

Aero Drops: a slammed, pro-inspired cockpit setup

From more upright and comfortable to low and aero, switch between cockpit setups in minutes using the Aeroad's interchangeable drops. As standard, this bike comes with our longer, narrower, more efficient Aero Drops, which put you into lower, more compact riding position to save up to 14 watts. To give you more control and confidence in fast corners and descents, we added 19 degrees of flare to the drops, and the moderate 105 mm depth from the top bar means you don’t have to go too deep in the drops increasing comfort in an aerodynamic position. Our Classic Drops are available as an aftermarket extra for a more upright riding position, with swaps taking minutes.

Our groundbreaking CP0048 Aerocockpit puts a range of gear integration options and fit adjustments, all with no cutting required. You can adjust the width by 50 mm without cutting the brake hoses, and the height by 20 mm without cutting the fork steerer tube. Plus, the new Gear Groove interface provides a solid platform for mounting a range of accessories quickly, from aero bars to computer mounts (available separately).

Comfort meets efficiency. Designed using advanced wind tunnel technology, the new Aeroad’s seatpost saves you watts for a free speed boost. Plus, it’s also simple to adjust so you can easily find your perfect riding position thanks to independent setback and tilt adjustment plus 100 mm of height adjust in sizes XS-2XL.

Spend more time on the road and less in the workshop. Combining improved seals with high-grade stainless steel bearings, the Aeroad's headset effectively keeps out water and dirt for beautifully smooth steering with almost zero maintenance. Even through hundreds of kilometres in the harshest conditions at races like Paris-Roubaix, these seals are up to the task.

The Aeroad's removable through axle lever doubles up as a TX25 tool that fits almost every screw across the bike, and clips discreetly into the wheel when not in use. One simple tool that you can use for any emergency adjustment on the road.
