The Canyon Ultimate CFR might just be the ultimate all-around race machine from Canyon, and one of the best road bikes we have tested here at Cycling Weekly. Canyon says the Ultimate CFR is developed by industry-leading engineers, built with the finest materials, and is a pro-level bike that redefines the meaning of world-class racing performance – superbly capable on the flat, and excelling in the hills, both up and down.
In our Canyon Ultimate review, super bike tester Joe Baker awarded the Canyon a 4.5 out of 5-star score, highlighting its impressive blend of low weight, high stiffness, and some aero details, which, in his trusted opinion, made it a reliable choice for racers and enthusiasts alike.
Joe also noted the value for money the Ultimate offered when compared to other big-name brands. In its Black Friday Sale, Canyon has discounted the Ultimate CFR Dura-Ace Di2 to $7,699, an incredible $2,800 off the RRP of $10,499.
This Black Friday price, although still hefty, could be seen as a bargain buy when it's compared to our best road bike, and Race Bike of the Year 2024 winner, the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8. The Dura-Ace Di2 version of the Tarmac SL8 currently retails for a staggering $13,500.
Of course, the SL8 sets the standard and, without a doubt, offers a more aerodynamic performance than the Ultimate. However, with a $5,801 price difference, the Ultimate has to be worthy of serious consideration for anyone in the superbike market looking for a bargain Black Friday 2025 cycling deal.
Canyon also offers free US shipping, and you can grab a further 5% off when you sign up for the Canyon Newsletter. If you're after a Canyon, then having a browse over the entire Canyon Black Friday Sale is recommended, as there is something for everyone, from the best Canyon road bikes to my own all-time favourite Canyon – the Inflite CF SLX 8 Di2 cyclocross bike.
If a new bike isn't on your Black Friday 2025 shopping list, then our Black Friday deals hub has all the best discounts on a ton of cycling kit, from tech to apparel, and everything in between. We'll also be updating this regularly on the run-up to the big shopping weekend, so be sure to bookmark the page.
