Canyon Ultimate 2021 CF SL 8 Disc
Fell off garage wall rack about 5 feet to floor.
Light damage to top tube and seat stays. Barely looks like it gets though paint and clear coat to fiber. Toptube doesn’t pass ding test. Seat stay damage appears more superficial and passes the ding test. Photos in profile.

Ride or repair?

My best advice for now would be to check with Canyon if they offer a crash replacement warranty program. With that you could possibly get a frame at a discount from them. I never worked with a direct to consumer brand so I don't know exactly how smooth the process will be.

Canyon does have a crash replacement program. I think its around a 50% discount. Technically only for the original owner but they passed that along to me when I needed a part, even buying my bike 2nd hand.
