Highlights Aeroad CF SLX 8 AXS

Carbon Fibre. Super Light Extreme.

SLX: dream big

The Aeroad CF SLX is our cutting-edge aero race bike for riders dreaming big. Optimised with more pro input than ever, and stress-tested at the toughest races in the world, it’s the bike that allows you to chase your speed dreams – and fulfil them.

Watch: the Aeroad Evolution

Alex Paton of Global Cycling Network and Lukas Birr, engineer at Canyon, talk through the evolution of the Aeroad, and discuss how this fourth generation model was developed with more pro insight than ever before.

Key features

Peloton performance

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.

PACE - Performance Adaptive Cockpit Ecosystem

From more upright and comfortable to low and aero, switch between cockpit setups in minutes using the Aeroad's interchangeable drops. As standard, the Aeroad uses the more balanced Classic Drops – with narrower Aero Drops available as an aftermarket extra for a slammed, compact, pro-inspired riding position with a longer effective reach. Swaps take a matter of minutes with the Aeroad's integrated TX25 emergency bit.

A versatile, adjustable carbon cockpit

As well as interchangeable drops, our groundbreaking CP0048 Aerocockpit places a wide range of fine fit adjustments and gear integration options in your hands. Dialling in your fit is precise and fast, with 20 mm of height and 50 mm of width adjustment with no cutting required. 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).

The benchmark of aero seatpost design

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.

Minimal maintenance headset bearings

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.

An integrated tool for adjustments on the go

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.

Please note: the tool is meant for emergency adjustments only. The user is responsible for following the specified torque values when tightening bolts, which cannot be checked with the tool.
