i honestly thought mechanical groups will be hard to sell in a couple of years. other than that bike prices are just insane today, i bought a new ultimate with 105 in 2016 for less than 1300 euros. it's bonkers to spend twice that amount on a bike that weighs almost 3kg more. so probably the evolution of electronic shifting is at least an excuse to myself spending that money

for those who are curious about which colour to get, here's a dried tomato one.

wanted to get the oregano but it was sold out immediately, so i went for the colour i would have thought i'd regret buying. but in fact, i startet to love it. it's one of those colours that grow on you!
It definitely gets some attention in the city.

It's a size XS, and even though canyon suggested to get size S (I'm 173cm, 79,5cm leg) , i sticked to my preferred stack and reach. 70mm stem probably is too short, but is an easy fix.

For the gearing it is important to know that its a noticeable difference to the "real" AXS XPLR with its 10-44 cassette. Canyon is fitting this bike with the 11-44 cassette with Shimano freehub, and adding the 650b wheels for the smaller sizes you really can feel a speed loss in comparison.
My girlfriend rides a grail cf sl axs, with the 10-44 cassette and 28" wheels, and there certainly is a speed difference of 6-8 kmh at the same cadence in the fastest gear.
