Description
2025 Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2
Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 is the name that turns heads in the aero-road world. The 2025 Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2 delivers a perfect blend of speed, innovation, and versatility — whether you’re attacking flat sprints, racing time trials, or chasing KOMs in your favourite climbs. Designed for cyclists who demand performance without compromise, this is more than just a bike — it’s a statement.
What Makes the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2 Stand Out
From the moment you clamp onto the bar-ends, the canyon aeroad cf slx 7 di2 shows its pedigree. Built around Canyon’s fourth-generation CF SLX frame, this model inherits the aerodynamic advances of the flagship Aeroad CFR, yet offers tremendous value. The frame is ultra-efficient and superlight, with wind-cheating tube shapes and tight tyre clearance (up to 32 mm) so you can ride fast even on rough roads.
Shimano’s Di2 12-speed electronic shifting gives precision and instant gear changes under load — no fuss, no cable stretch, just crisp shifting. The inclusion of integrated power meter options (for training or racing) makes the Aeroad CF SLX 7 Di2 ideal for riders who want more than just speed — they want data-driven performance.
Aerodynamics are refined not just in the frame tubes but in the PACE cockpit system: adjustable drops, optional aero drops, fine-tune height, width, and reach. The headset is sealed and bearings upgraded, the seatpost designed to reduce drag while maintaining comfort with adjustability of setback, tilt and height.

SLX: dream big
The Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 is our cutting-edge aero race bike for riders dreaming big. Optimised with more pro input than ever, and stress-tested at the toughest races in the world, it’s the bike that allows you to chase your speed dreams – and fulfil them.
Watch: the Aeroad Evolution
Alex Paton of Global Cycling Network and Lukas Birr, engineer at Canyon, talk through the evolution of the Aeroad, and discuss how this fourth generation model was developed with more pro insight than ever before.
Peloton performance
With the same peloton-leading aerodynamics as the flagship Aeroad CFR, the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7 is one of the world’s most efficient race bikes and a true aerodynamic masterpiece. To deliver the stiffness-to-weight levels that high-level racing demands, Aeroad CF SLX frames are constructed using a new, advanced carbon layup – generating performance on a par with the World Championship-winning previous-generation Aeroad CFR.
PACE – Performance Adaptive Cockpit Ecosystem
From more upright and comfortable to low and aero, switch between cockpit setups in minutes using the Aeroad’s interchangeable drops. As standard, the Aeroad uses the more balanced Classic Drops – with narrower Aero Drops available as an aftermarket extra for a slammed, compact, pro-inspired riding position with a longer effective reach. Swaps take a matter of minutes with the Aeroad’s integrated TX25 emergency bit.
A versatile, adjustable carbon cockpit
As well as interchangeable drops, our groundbreaking CP0048 Aerocockpit places a wide range of fine fit adjustments and gear integration options in your hands. Dialling in your fit is precise and fast, with 20 mm of height and 50 mm of width adjustment with no cutting required. Plus, the new Gear Groove interface provides a solid platform for mounting a range of accessories quickly, from aero bars to computer mounts (available separately).
The benchmark of aero seatpost design
Comfort meets efficiency. Designed using advanced wind tunnel technology, the new Aeroad’s seatpost saves you watts for a free speed boost. Plus, it’s also simple to adjust so you can easily find your perfect riding position thanks to independent setback and tilt adjustment plus 100 mm of height adjust in sizes XS-2XL.
Minimal maintenance headset bearings
Spend more time on the road and less in the workshop. Combining improved seals with high-grade stainless steel bearings, the Aeroad’s headset effectively keeps out water and dirt for beautifully smooth steering with almost zero maintenance. Even through hundreds of kilometres in the harshest conditions at races like Paris-Roubaix, these seals are up to the task.
An integrated tool for adjustments on the go
The Aeroad’s removable through axle lever doubles up as a TX25 tool that fits almost every screw across the bike, and clips discreetly into the wheel when not in use. One simple tool that you can use for any emergency adjustment on the road. Please note: the tool is meant for emergency adjustments only. The user is responsible for following the specified torque values when tightening bolts, which cannot be checked with the tool.

Performance & Ride Impressions
-
Expect outstanding aerodynamic efficiency — the frame shapes, streamlined seatpost, and tight cable integration all work together to reduce drag. The canyon aeroad cf slx series has been tested extensively in wind tunnels and on real roads.
-
The ride is stiff under power, especially on flats and when sprinting, but still reasonably compliant. The tyre clearance up to 32 mm helps smooth out rough pavement. Some riders note that climbing isn’t its strongest feature when compared to climbing-specialist lightweight bikes, but it holds its own.
-
The PACE cockpit system gives good adjustability: you can configure the drops, adjust the reach/height, or optionally fit aero extensions for triathlon or time trial use. This versatility is part of what makes canyon aeroad cf slx 7 di2 appealing to riders who want one bike for multiple uses.

If you want top aero performance without the absolute top price, canyon aeroad cf slx 7 di2 is often the sweet spot.
Common Questions
-
Is Di2 better than AXS?

-
Can I convert to triathlon setup?
Yes — many owners of canyon aeroad cf slx 7 di2 add aero extensions or alternate drops; the cockpit is modular and supports accessory mounting, so you can adapt it for tri use.
-
What about maintenance?
The sealed headset, upgraded bearings, and quality componentry mean lower maintenance over time. Di2 requires battery charging and occasional firmware updates, but the shifting is very consistent.
