I've ridden SuperSix' for the last few years, they fit me well.
I have a Giant Defy 1 Disc, the comfort is nice - It just lacks in the pace department a little too much for me (too upright).
I do like Discs on a road bike and I don't race, so that's not a problem.

I have a choice to make between these similar geo'd bikes:
CAAD12 Dura Ace Disc 2016 - £1,900
Canyon Ultimate CF SL Disc (Ultegra) - £2400
Canyon Ultimate CF SL Aero (Ultegra with bling Reynolds Strike wheels) - £2600.

What do I go for?

    Did you want the Canyons this year or just at some point in the future?

    If I was you I would get the SL Aero .... but, if it was me I would want the bike NOW so I would get the CAAD

    Facebook? No. Just say no.
  • The Canyons I'm mentioning show "In Stock", so presumably - there is no wait time on them other than packaging and delivery times,
    or do you mean, there are new models due to hit the shelves shortly?

  • Up to personal choice, I ordered a similar Ultimate to one you mention. Stated in stock on website and arrived 7 days after ordering and I am totally in love with it.

    Other disc brake Road Brake options I looked at were the Giant TCR Advanced Disc, but preferred the look of the Canyon

    This range was released last December, so imagine will refresh again end of the season/turn of year.

    PS: On sizing I'm 175cm and a S, fits perfectly, the PPS system is very good
  • Thanks,
    I'm 5 11 / 6ft, but with a small inseam (31.5") - thinking Medium

    If you have short legs but you're tall you might possibly want a large as you'll have a longer torso and reach
  • Long Reach on something like a CAAD/SSix/Ultimate.
