At under 6 kg (Size M, without pedals), Canyon\u2019s latest lightweight engineering endeavour is one of the lightest disc brake road bikes ever created.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-26070500-1562866663.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546031\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546031\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-26070500-1562866663.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-26070500-1562866663.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Ultimate Evo Disc is built around a 641 gram frame (not including small parts) and a 285 gram fork: parts that push the boundaries of modern engineering. This extraordinary low weight is made possible by using a highly advanced layup that combines ultra-high modulus (UHM) and ultra-high tension (UHT) carbon fibres.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Frame<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-24591900-1562866670.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546033\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546033\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-24591900-1562866670.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-24591900-1562866670.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Evo\u2019s front derailleur mount is integrated into the carbon construction of the frame for improved aesthetics and further weight reduction. Compared directly with the Ultimate CF SLX Disc, with its aluminium mount screwed into the seat tube, this results in a saving of 7 grams. Fur- ther savings are made at the seatpost clamp; whereas the Ultimate CF SLX Disc uses steel screws and inserts, the application of titanium for the Evo Disc shaves another 3.5 grams. Lighter aluminium through axles (also found on the fork) than on our standard road models also keep weight as low as possible.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Fork<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-04531100-1562866678.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546035\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546035\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-04531100-1562866678.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-04531100-1562866678.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Ultimate CF Evo Disc adopts the same 11\u20444\u201d steerer tube dimensions as on all Ultimate models, however with a far lighter construction while maximising the cockpit\u2019s tor- sional rigidity for absolute handling precision. Excessive heat build-up and higher forces from disc brakes require the addition of extra material on the non-drive side of the fork and rear triangle. The application of UHM and UHT fi- bres in these areas enable us to keep extra mass to an absolute minimum while delivering the reinforcement needed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Cockpit<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-19561100-1562866667.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546032\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546032\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-19561100-1562866667.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-19561100-1562866667.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another product of Canyon\u2019s carbon construction expertise is the CP20 Evo cockpit, which is 15% lighter than the CP10 Aero cockpit, tipping the scales at only 270 grams. The Evo\u2019s one-piece cockpit is comfortable, aero, and looks the part thanks to clean cable integration. Exactly like the frame, the Evocockpit CP20 is constructed using the same UHM and UHT fibres for the perfect balance of ergonomics, aerodynamic efficiency, and stiffness. This is the lightest, most innovative cockpit that we have ever built.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Reduction<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-17256400-1562866906.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546038\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546038\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-17256400-1562866906.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-17256400-1562866906.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In-keeping with the overall concept of the Evo Disc, we\u2019ve taken a radical approach to the bike\u2019s artwork.

This tyre is engineered for roll fast, requiring less rotational energy thanks to its lightweight construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schmolke 1K carbon seatpost<\/strong> (Seatpost Weight 120 g)<br \/>The Schmolke 1K carbon seatpost is made using the best material available, resulting in its stunningly low weight. The post&#8217;s highest stressed sections consist of 17 layers of extremely thin carbon fibre prepreg, while its less stressed sections are sufficiently strong with as little as 9 layers. This complex design is extremely advanced and reduces the weight drastically. Exclusive for Canyon, all posts feature extra reinforcement around the seat clamp area.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-70924900-1562866659.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1546030\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1546030\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-70924900-1562866659.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-70924900-1562866659.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Selle Italia SLR C59<\/strong> (Saddle Weight 61 g)<br \/>The iconic SLR C59 sets the benchmark in lightweight saddle construction.
