After a long time I finally found the time to make an updated video about the bike!
Is there any specific information you'd like to see next or is there anything you think I've missed in this video, please leave a comment and I'll try to make a third part where I'll discuss the comments!

Hi Lauren, great video! Very informative and thanks to your suggestion of using an electrical tape, I fixed the saddle post creaking. I have exactly the same bike as yours (same color scheme)- mine is size S and I was very disappointed with the creaking issue as well. Canyon customer service was excellent in my case as they shipped a brand new post, clamp and the seal. Replacement parts did not solve the creaking noise but a few wraps of electrical tape around the seat post (thanks to your suggestion!) did and now my bike is absolutely perfect! I put about 400 km since applying the electrical tape and I have not heard a single squeak yet. As far as the power meter, mine is 4iiii so a newer version and I noticed no scratches. For those considering the purchase of this bike, I highly recommend it as for the price, this bike is as close to a pro level as it gets. Rims alone are $3300.00 so the entire package is absolutely worth it. My other bike is a BMC Team machine and although I love my BMC, Canyon is a much better package in my humble opinion. Thanks again, Lauren and keep up a great work! Robert/USA
Thank you so much for this comment Robert! It's really nice to hear that this video has been helpful to you! Enjoy the rides on your non-creaking bike now 😉
I will. Your idea is brilliant! Thank you again!
Finallyyyyy, nicely processed video with details. Keep up and I wish you many happy miles / kilometers
Thanks Martin 🥰

Hi There, Great video that you had made on Canyon Aero CF SL 8. I just got mine (Grey-in-grey) about 3 months ago and it's really awesome after few rides.
Grey also looks amazing, enjoy the bike!!
Excellent video, keep going. Subscribed and liked! TY
Thanks, will do!
honest review thank you. !!!
You're welcome!
I got the bike!!!!!! In the grey colour, watching this now 😂
I was first going to buy the grey version too, but fell in love with the blue and white! 😍 enjoy riding!
That’s a really good video! Great job. I hope you don’t take the negative comments personally. People sometimes try to be funny but then do not realize that their culture isn’t the same all over the world. Those of us in the US tend to lose sight of cultural differences. What we think might be funny or light-hearted humor is insulting to those in other countries. I am from the US, but I’ve had the benefit of traveling all over the world. It taught me a lot about how insular we can be.
I have two bikes, one with SRAM AXS and the other with Ultegra. I just had to have a wireless cycle…hence the SRAM cycle. But as I ride both, I actually prefer the Ultegra “old school” shifting. I think it ultimately comes down to a personal choice-I do not think it’s a vast difference.
If you go tubeless, it will be interesting to hear feedback on that change. I just cannot get myself to make that shift, which I suppose is tied to me know knowing enough about the potential benefits. Cheers!
Thank you for this comment! I don't really take negative comments personally but just wanted to mention them since I know most of them watch these videos anyway haha! And they haven't replied since so that's a good sign I guess ;)
I recently tried out DI2 at a Canyon Test Event and I was so surprised with the shifting how smooth it works, it really makes me think that I would love to have DI2! Maybe something for next season!
Cheers :)
(And about the tubeless, I have recently swapped my tires for the first time since I can't get myself to make the shift either haha. Will be testing it maybe next season too! Step by step!)
Just got the canyon aeroad slx with sram rival etap, it was on sale for 4500 euros. The bike is amazing its about 350 grams heavier then the ultegra but i dont really notice the weight difference. Also it looks much cleaner without the external cables and the sram powermeter is extremly accurate. A total steal if you ask me.
Wow, that's a great price! Indeed a steal!
Have canyon dealt the seatpost wear down issue yet?
@@ciw8688 They have! A new version of the Aeroad is now online where the seatpost bolt is in front of the seatpost instead of behind.
I also contacted Canyon and they said I could send my bike to get it fixed.
@@velozio247 thats good news to hear about the new version, but are you owning the older one?
@@ciw8688 i have the older one never had an issue, mine was pregreased though...
That saddle tilt is crazy.
cool young man!
Hi. Can you do the video for the back wheel spinning? I’m really want to listen does they have make noise that feeling. Please. Thank you so much. Waiting for your next video
Good stuff man. I am currently doing research about this bike. Also the ultimate not available on my size beside for the high end one
Thank you! Understandable!
Thanks, useful points! Did you ride in mountains with the Aeroad, like over big climbs in the Alps? Would be nice to know how it feels with these gears and the bike weight.
Hi, no I did not but I'm planning to maybe do that in the near future! Sadly enough I don't live near mountains so that's why the Aeroad was a better choice than the Ultimate :)
Great post and review of your Canyon! Do you feel that Canyon’s online fit guide is accurate? I’m in the process of purchasing my first Canyon and wanted to gain some insight about their online fit guide.
For me personally I found it very accurate!
Very accurate and easy to adjust.
Are you seeing any cracks in the paint around your bottom bracket where the chain stays meet or at the opposite end where they meet the seat stays?
Nope
you very lucky with this color
Thank you, I know! 😁
Great video! I like to buy the same bike but I am having difficulty selecting the right size as I am in between S/M; I am 177/84. When I make a slight change to my height or inseam, it then suggests M. What would you recommend?
I'd say the M!
Im 176/84 and have really long Arms. On my other bikes I went for M. When I tested the Aeroad I immediately realised that I need S on that bike because I instantly got back pain whilst riding on M.
Endurace is fast and comfortable
Hey Loran f*CK de Haatcomments. Laat het je niet naar beneden halen. Top kerel! Top content!
Haha, dankjewel Daan!
And comments on comfort regarding the aero seat tube compared to a normal seat tube (as it might flex more)?
I find it a lot more stiff!
Aero bikes notoriously uncomfortable
Great Vid, very nice Aeroad. I'm riding the Grizl, which I really love on travelling long distances and carrying stuff on bikepacking trips, but I'm thinking about buying an Aeroad as well, the frame is so cool! What is the weight of your bike? Is it comfy also on longer rides more than 100km?
I'm 182/85cm, the Grizl is in size M, but I think on the Aeroad, I'll choose L.
Groeten uit Duitsland!
Sepp
I am also thinking of buying a gravel bike in a few years after I graduate to make some trips 😍
I do love the Aeroad and also on longer rides! I think it depends on how flexible you are!
Me too i'm 182cm/87, and I agree with you: Aeroad's geometry is very very racing, the stack is lower than my GIANT TCR bike's stack.
why buy an aero bike for bike packing??
@@rebinu Of course, I wouldn't use the Aeroad for bikepacking.
That would then be intended for training and after-work laps and races.
The Grizl is a jack of all trades, but with my setup it's just under 12 kg. Aluminium.
I would continue to use it for traveling and commuting.
Good training anyway 😜
@@seppt3726 yeah great training, and better in traffic too to go a bit slower.. I think you'll enjoy aeroad speeds as well though ;)
I got the exact same bike but in grey.. I want to turn it tubless. Do you know what size valves I would need?
66-80mm I think!
i dont have the money to buy cfslx with di2 but i can afford cfsl. Do you think i should get aeroad cfsl 8.0 for my second bike? i do super long ride on a trek hardtail currently and looking to upgrade for my final bike.
If you can afford the bike and you really want it I really think it's a great choice!
ok thanks👍, good review btw❤
How do you angle the seat like you have because I’m struggling?
Just loosen the bolt, angle it down a bit and hold the position while you tighten the bolt again!
Do you think there is much difference to the riding experience of an slx?
No i dont think so
How do you combine the costs of college and having a bike like this? I am currently in my first year of university and started cycling. I began with a used road bike of my dad but now it's time to upgrade and get my own.I just don't think i'm capable to spend a whole fortune on a new road bike. Maybe you can help me a bit with your experience?
I first thought of buying a shimano 105 Aluminium bike, but I would really like to use this bike for approx 5 years and so I thought I would need a higher speced (and priced) bike so I won't have any issues (or as little as possible) in the upcoming years. As I'm currently training for a 70.3 Ironman and would like to do some amateur races in the beginning of 2024, I'm tending to buy the Aeroad but it's damn expensive :/
Zag dat je NL was, is iets makkeijker :) Wat denk je van de nieuwe endurace fietsen? En wat is je triatlon kanaal?
Hahaha ben inderdaad Nederlands! Mijn triatlonkanaal heet "Loran".
Verder: ik heb het geluk gehad dat mijn grootouders de fiets wouden betalen en dat ik dan in deeltjes afbetaalde. Ik heb bijna elke vakantie/weekends/doorheen het jaar gewerkt zodat ik kon reizen, wedstrijden doen, vrije tijd dingen kon betalen én deze fiets terwijl kon afbetalen! Het heeft inderdaad wat moeite gekost maar het is me uiteindelijk wel gelukt :)
Ik heb onlangs de Ultimate getest (heb daar een video van op mn hoofdkanaal, is die met Average Rob) en die is wel écht de moeite. Is een pak behendiger maar de aeroad voelt gewoon heel wat stijver aan en dat is waar ik naar op zoek ben voor m'n triatlons!
Welke Ironman 70.3 train je?
Heb je geen problemen met aero bars op te zetten voor triatlons? Of gebruik je die nieet@@velozio247
Die van Knokke-Heist (is waar ik woon). Ik had nooit ambities om triatlon te doen, maar toen ik zag dat Ironman naar hier kwam, heb ik toch besloten om te beginnen trainen. Nog geen moment spijt van gehad!!@@velozio247
What was the fix for the rear wheel wobble?
I gave my bike to the local bike shop and they fixed it! :)
My friend I have a 47cm frame size what size of canyon bike frame should I get?
I'd try the Canyon calculator tool! It's really helpful!
you do realize that if you get Di2 you would probably sell your current ultegra for quite a good amount of money. The difference won't be that much more than the 1000 I can't imagine and you would still have the frame you wanted.
Yes! But selling a used Ultegra groupset won't give me much. Casette, chain, front blades etc are all worth a whole lot less and with some small scratches on the shifters/derailleurs it loses it's value quite fast
Great job with this video. I just released my long term video review of our Tarmac and Scott bikes as well. Happy for you to check them out. I’ll subscribe to you for more news on the Aeroad as well ! Good stuff.
Thanks, that's nice to hear! :)
Will auch so ein Rad 👍🏿👍🏿
nice telecaster
Hahaha, thanks it's my stepdads :)
can you mount aerobars on this bike ?
I haven't found any that fit this handlebar yet!
What distance of triathlon did you do with this?
Multiple sprints and olympic distances :)
Have you ridden an endurace?
Nope, a friend of mine has that bike! He likes it though, but it's more for comfort!
I want to know if the bike is hard enough because it is carbon
Yes!!! Carbon bikes nowadays are super strong and well made. No need to have stress about that :)
Hey! What is Your height? Thanks For the Video. I am 183 cm and have 78cm height and 88,6 length. Do you Know if it will fit in M?
I'd say an L! But you can use the tool on the Canyon website to decide which size. I found it to be pretty accurate
Hey VELOZIO, ben zelfstandige bouwvakker, ga me deze vrijdag mijn maten laten meten in Maldegem. Kun je me raad geven?
mijn profiel - 1m76 en ongeveer 110kg. zou dit graag bijwerken, alleen de tijd ontbreekt mij.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
GROETEN UIT ZELE
Ik veronderstel een Medium!
@@velozio247 neen het ie een smal, dat ik moet hebben
Dear Canyon riders,
I really want to buy this gem, but unfortunately I am between sizes M/L. I am 183/89cm, which by canyon size calculator gives M, but when I put inseam 90 it shows L.
Do you guys have similar problem of choosing the right size? :( Any advice is truly welcome.
I would choose the L! I am 181cm and I am almost at max height!
@@velozio247 you are riding L? Whats your inseam? Hope you have right size as you mentioned back pain bro.
I am riding a medium as I mentioned in the video!
yeah got you, my current seat height is 780mm and max on Aeroad M is 801, I'm afraid there is not much left to have it on maximum :(
@@velozio247I would choose the large as well if I were you, I’m 182/83 and in a medium, ive gone from max height down to 10mm from max. I think you will appreciate the 20mm stack height you will get by getting a large vs a medium as well.
Do u have some old Cyclo computer? Can I have it?
Haha, no I don't have an old bike computer sorry!
hi everyone i want buy it Aeroad CF SLX 7 eTap but i dont know which size i am 178 cm but inseam i have only 67 cm Canyon calculator tell me don t exist lol what now thx.
Are you sure you measured it right?
@@velozio247yes i have short legs
Je zei dat je wilt upgraden naar ultegra di2 waarom geen 105 di2 praktisch hetzelfde alleen zwaarder en goedkoper?
Omdat ik triatlon doe en ik wel competitiever wil gaan worden dus dan is Ultegra de logischere keuze.
@@velozio247 ahh, trouwens mis je dat lig stuur niet erg als je triatlons doet
Er zijn geen lig sturen beschikbaar voor het platte stuur van de Aeroad. Maar voor triatlons van olympische en sprint afstand heb je dat eigenlijk ook niet nodig.
Voor een halve of volledige ironman kan ik de tijdritfiets van een kennis lenen.
DI2 is geen upgrade 😂
@@pieterbauwens5607Hoezo niet?
oi mate. it would be nice if you put time stamps to the time bar. cheers :)
Great idea! I'll look into that when I have some more time
Isn’t little small x your hight?
Sorry?
THANK YOU!!🎉
