The new Canyon Aeroad is here – our first impressions and a chat with a design engineer behind the bike

After teasing it for weeks, Canyon has announced the new Aeroad CFR.

Said to be both lighter and more aerodynamic than the third-generation version, the 2025 Canyon Aeroad is boldly claimed to be “the fastest bike in the pro peloton”.

In this podcast, Jack Luke catches up with Simon von Bromley, who spent a few days in Calpe, Sapin, gathering intel and first impressions of the bike ahead of the announcement.

We also hear from Lukas Birr, a design engineer at Canyon, and a key mind behind the new Aeroad.

Birr tells us why the new Aeroad looks so similar to the old one and what changes Mathieu van der Poel specifically requested.
