Nairo Quintana's Canyon Ultimate CF SLX
The new Canyon Ultimate CF SLX is set to be one of the bikes of 2016 – a more comfortable, more aero update of an incredibly popular bike – but it’s had plenty of success this year too, being ridden to second place at the Tour de France by Movistar’s Nairo Quintana.
Canyon are exhibiting at the Cycle Show for the first time, having been present at the London Bike Show for the past two years, and that gives punters the chance to see the German direct sales brand’s bikes in the flesh, as opposed to just online.
Among the bikes on display is this white Ultimate CF SLX that Quintana rode on the final stage of the Tour de France to celebrate his victory in the best young rider classification. A white bike to match his white jersey. If you doubt whether it’s the real thing, the handlebar tape is still grubby from the Tour.
Check out the photo gallery below for plenty more shots of Quintana’s bike, or if you want more info on the new Ultimate CF SLX, check out our tech report from the launch or this first ride review.
