Description
Canyon's Aeroad offers breathtaking speed, handling and great value for money! Canyon have managed to employ the aerodynamics of their Speedmax time trail bike and imbue it with much of the handling of the Ultimate, and produced a seriously fast bike that is a lot of fun to ride. The Aeroad was launched at the Tour de France and immediately won two stages at the hands of Alexander Kristoff, confirming that Canyon's homework had paid off. First impressions are a good way to judge a bike and the Aeroad simply doesn't disappoint: it looks stunning with its clean-cut lines and this red over black paint job is the best yet from Canyon.
Make no mistake, the Aeroad is an extremely fast bike with rapid acceleration and breathtaking momentum at higher speeds, and you don't need a wind tunnel to tell you that much. This bike will take your breath away every time you ride it. The ride is delivered with a sense of urgency in the way it responds to inputs, both from the handlebars when you guide it through corners, and pushing hard on the pedals, whether that's scaling ascents or sprinting for imaginary finish lines. It simply wants to go as fast as you're capable of, all of the time, and provides you a stiff and very capable platform for doing exactly that. The steering is sweetly balanced; sharp, clean and precise, with good feedback through the handlebars allowing you to lace together a series of corners with stunning accuracy, all while providing a clear indication of grip levels when leaning the bike over through fast corners.
There isn't much to say about the Ultegra Di2 groupset really. It's deeply impressive and to get it on a bike costing this little is also commendable. Shimano's direct mount brakes are becoming increasingly popular in the industry, and Canyon have adopted them with the new Aeroad. They've kept the brakes in the conventional locations though, avoiding the common temptation to mount the rear brake underneath the chainstays.
The Hunt carbon wheels very flighty on the road, with good acceleration and a very nice level of stiffness. They make a great noise too: they sound fast. All wheels should sound like these.
Condition
This bike is in good condition but may have a few cosmetic blemishes, all of which have been photoed and mostly unnoticeable. Mechanically, it functions perfectly with smooth gear shifts and responsive brakes. Bearings smooth all round.
