Hi all

I currently own a Battaglin S11 and by my standards it feels like the geometry is quite racy. After a long ride I have a few aches but nothing major. Now that I have caught the biking bug, I’m now looking to upgrade.
I was looking to buy the Canyon Endurance CF9.0 to eliminate the aches but the Ultimate AL SLX 9 has also caught my eye and its £300 cheaper.

I have compared the Ultimate geometry to my current bike but I'm not really sure what to look for.
Would someone be able to tell me if the Ultimate is more aggressive than the Battaglin or if it's about the same?
I ride a size Large.

Thanks in advance

    The reach and stack measurements are missing from the Battalgin chart as is the head tube angle. The Virtual Top Tube of the Batt. is 9mm longer, the Head Tube 2mm longer and the Chainstay 3mm shorter. The Seat Tube angle is the similar, 73.50/73.75 degrees. Assuming you use a 110mm stem on the Batt. in the same orientation, you would be slightly less stretched out on the Canyon, otherwise similar to your existing bike.
