An October 2024 back-to-back test of the 2024 Aeroad CFR with SRAM Red AXS against the cheapest Aeroad CF SLX, with weigh-ins, a power comparison and ride impressions; the takeaways cover the CFR. The CFR recorded here has Dura-Ace Di2, so its weight and price differ.

Takeaways
Price at publication0:55At publication the CFR cost nearly £10,000 and the cheapest Aeroad CF SLX just under £4,000.
Build note1:11CFR and CF SLX share the frame shapes, one-piece carbon cockpit, seatpost and tire clearance; the CFR adds a lighter carbon lay-up. He tested it with SRAM Red AXS, Zipp 454 NSW wheels and a dual-sided power meter.
Measured4:37Both size M, weighed without pedals: the CFR came in just over the UCI 6.8 kg limit and the CF SLX just under 1 kg heavier. He weighed the CF SLX's DT Swiss ARC 1600 wheels at about 1,730 g against 1,358 g for the Zipps.
Ride impression12:32The CFR rode noticeably smoother over rough roads and stayed steadier at speed and in strong crosswinds; the CF SLX moved around more over bumps.
Ride impression13:29Handling and geometry matched, but the lower weight made the CFR feel livelier on longer, steeper climbs and in sprints; he still called the CF SLX a bargain at about half the price.
Measured15:26On one back-to-back loop at about 32 km/h, the CFR needed 213 W normalized power against 227 W on the CF SLX for the same speed.

First ride on the fourth-generation (2024) Canyon Aeroad CFR, covering frame changes, cockpit, clearance, weight and ride.

Takeaways
Repeats a maker claim0:51Canyon claims more stiffness in key areas, a slimmer head tube and down tube, a deeper fork and a new seat tube and clamp (moved to the top tube) after the previous generation's seatpost failures.
Build note3:52The one-piece PACE bar is height-adjustable without cutting the steerer, has removable drops in several widths, and optional aero drops claimed to save 14 W; the Gear Groove mount accepts computers or clip-on bars.
Fit check7:36Clearance is 32 mm with 28 mm tires fitted, and the fork has rubber feet to rest on when the wheel is out.
Measured9:08His size-M SRAM Red CFR with Zipp 454 wheels weighed 7.1 kg; that build cost just under £9,800.
Ride impression10:02It feels almost identical to the previous Aeroad, faster than a Tarmac SL8 in his testing and smoother on rough tarmac than earlier aero bikes, though not as supple as a Tarmac SL8 or Madone SLR.
Finish and faults13:54The carbon bottle cages hold Canyon's own bottles snugly, but other bottles rattle and can fall out.
