Seems pretty reasonable to me…if you look at the design of the bars, I don’t see how you are going to put aerobars on that new cockpit.
The only potential option I could see would be a custom bar from Canyon that has a clamp designed to match the profile of the bar design…but my guess is that the wall thickness of the bars have been thinned out to meet the adjustable width concept work…and thus would not be able to stand up to the clamping force.
Not anymore…at least not on the climbs.

Still the fastest all round frame (only Tron is faster for rolling).
That makes a lot more sense. The bike climbs okay, but is very very aero, like in real life. Not the other way around.
Is there any tri bars that fit the Aeroads cockpit?
On the weightweenies forum, someone contacted Canyon, and the rep said, that there are no OEM bars or the like planned. Kind of a bummer…
They need to push those speedmaxs 
I don‘t really think that these products actually cannibalizes each other too much.
If you are looking for an aero road bike, but also want to do time trials every now and then, you are probably buying a road bike that offers clip on extension (i.e. every bike with round bars, or several after market aero bars, or several aero bikes like the Venge, the Madone, S5 Disc etc.).
If you are a lot more focused on TTing, I guess you will be looking at getting a TT bike anyway.
Also, the Speedmax is pretty outdated now, wouldn’t really make sense to „sacrifice“ sales on your new high end bike to propel sales on you old TT bike. Probably rather pushes customers away from Canyon altogether…
People by Canyon because you can get a di2 TT bike for the price of other manufacturers frames. Building a TT bike is stupid right now.
Not as of now, but I mean there are already screw holes on the bar and the screws / the whole side wings could be swapped. Come on German engineers finish the job 
Why is building a TT bike now more stupid than it has before?
If you plan on going super high end, you‘d probably wait for UCI regulation changes to kick in, and what that brings to manufacturers R&D. And if you want Shimano, you‘d probably wait for the 2021 releases there…
If you you don‘t care what UCI changes may do (probably little) and if you are fine with current groupset, might as well build one now…
Shimano is my go to excuse for why I’m not messing with it right now. I’m just complaining that UCI TT bikes are silly expensive.
I have the new Aeroad CF SLX Ultegra Di2 spec, only a few miles on it so far. So it’s probably as you would expect as any new bike.
Ill report back at ~ every thousand miles or so with my thoughts and observations.
In the meanwhile let me know if you have any questions.
How do you feel riding it as far as comfort? Could you see yourself on a 100 mile ride on it?
Hey JD,
I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t. Typically my rides aren’t of that distance and usually cap around 70mi or so. The new Aeroad is significantly less aggressive than the prior version (more stack), so that may lend it to being more comfortable over long distances.
If you believe the marketing they claim that they’ve made strides to keep the comfort via the 28c tire and the seat post design. I can tell you thus far compared to previous bikes; CAAD10, Cervelo S3, Cervelo R3. It feels just as comfortable. though I’ve never had and continued difficult riding bikes over a long distance. I think comfort has more to do with the rider more than the bike in terms of core strength, medical history, fit, etc.
Only thing to report thus far was some cable slap occurring inside the frame/stem/handlebar, which resolved by “adjusting” (removing bar ends and replacing them) everything has been great.
Feel free to ask more! 
What about the new handlbar? Do you feel any flex, for example when sprinting? Or are they rock solid?
A better question nowadays would be, what about the new seatpost. Apparently there are some issues that affect every 2021 aeroad seatpost, eg https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/download/file.php?id=88923&mode=view (there are many more pictures on aeroad facebook group)
Does it affect your aeroad as well?
Hey Tim,
The new bar-ends/handlebar/cockpit/integrated steer tube thingamajig feel ok so far.
There was one of the new bike tests that i watched on youtube that suggested that the bars were flexy. This was a concern of mine after i ordered the bike, especially when you consider you don’t have any other handlebar options.
Specifically while sprinting I can’t detect any difference between these ridden in the past (3T Rotundo and Zipp SL-70 Aero most recently).
Hey Jakub,
After seeing the picture you linked, thank you by the way, i pulled my post to take a look. Indeed it seems as though mine has the same problem. Further, when I touched the area some black came off on my finger, was it carbon or paint? I don’t know. In either case i think it’s safe to assume some friction is taking place there.
I’ll ask you guys first if you’ve seen a suggested fix for this. I’ll also be reaching out to Canyon to hear what they have to say about it.
This was supposed to be a feature of the new bike to keep compliance while making larger tube sections to increase aerodynamics. Hopefully this isn’t a misstep that created a problem along the way.
My first thought was to apply some general/assembly lube there to help reduce friction. I don’t see why this would cause a problem since the post doesn’t clamp in this area. Thoughts?
They’re actually sending new manuals with new bikes (January batch) that carbon paste cannot be used at all else this will happen. Only grease is to be used. But people who only used grease still suffered scratches on the seatpost after one ride. While of course it seems just like some paint damage at first, some say it will develop and worsen (not my case yet, my seatpost is missing just the paint only, but again, I only rode 1 hour outside as the weather doesnt allow it).
Some people already had their seatposts replaced, some people even had their frames damaged.
You can scroll few last pages here https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=163697&start=1335 or join the facebook aeroad owners group, there are tons of posts from people with the same problem.
I reached out to canyon czech and they said that canyon will be supposedly getting back to every aeroad owner early next week with an email with possible solutions and advice.
I also own the new aeroad… Hope that they’ll come up with a quick solution.
I received this email from Canyon which I would think its going to address the creaking problem and also address possible water/particulate ingress.
TLRD version: Insert this cap which should act as a buffer to resolve creaking and water from going down the seat tube.
Thank you for your recent purchase of the latest-generation Aeroad bike. We hope the bike has inspired you to ride and that you’re enjoying it on the road or during your winter indoor training sessions.
The Aeroad as you know, pushes the limits of road bicycle technology with it’s aerodynamics, lightweight, cockpit adjustability and torsional stiffness for ride responsiveness while maintaining vertical compliance for comfort. One very important feature we want to point out is how the Aeroad seatpost allows for a higher level of flex to increase comfort while maintaining pedal power transfer efficiency for demanding rides thanks to its newly developed clamp design.
However, when the bike is ridden in excessively wet conditions, water can carry dirt down the seatpost into the seat-tube which may lead to increased abrasion between the seatpost and the seat tube, but that abrasion/wear is not a safety concern. You can rely on our German engineering to be the highest quality for your Canyon bike.
To protect your seatpost and prevent any dirt from entering the seat-tube, we will send you a seal with installation instructions, free of charge. Producing the seals may take a few weeks and at the beginning of March, we’ll let you know when to expect a shipment. You do not need to call us or reply in any manner.
Until then, we would like to give you some important advice on looking after your Aeroad: remember to regularly clean and maintain your bike, especially after riding in rainy and muddy weather.
You should make sure to clean the seatpost and the appropriate area in the seat tube after a rainy ride or after washing the bike. Please only use grease when mounting the seatpost, as assembly paste can increase wear (see also the Quick Start Guide).
We’re keeping our fingers crossed for Spring to come early, so that you can soon enjoy miles and miles on your new Aeroad. We hope that this service information was helpful for you. If you have any questions, our service team will be happy to help.
Best regards,
The Canyon Team
