Well the momentous day has arrived and the 2013 Canyons are now on their website. I had already decided to buy one and am torn between two models: the Ultimate CF SLX 8.0 and the 9.0.
The only difference between these two bikes is that the 8.0 has the Ksyrium Elite wheels whilst the 9.0 has the SLR WTS wheels. Of course there is also the matter of £490.
It appears that the typical price difference for the wheels alone should be about £600 so on that basis going up to the 9.0 is "good value" (a very relative term) but I am more interested in anyone's experience of these wheels.
