Can the same rider take different sizes on these two bikes?

Yes. Frame labels are not standardized, so the same rider may need different sizes. This comparison deliberately avoids a generic matched-size answer and hands your measurements to Bike Fit instead.

Which frame has the higher front: Canyon Aeroad CF SLX or TIME ADHX?

Across matched sizes, the frame fronts of Canyon Aeroad CF SLX and TIME ADHX differ by only a few millimetres. Stem and spacer choices will have more effect on handlebar position.

Canyon Aeroad CF SLX vs TIME ADHX: which bike is right for you?

Compare ride character, intended rider, geometry, and fit. Add your measurements to see which bike suits you better and which size to choose on each.

Fit verdict: the frame positions differ enough to matter. Compare the geometry below, then use your measurements to identify the safer size and setup.

In one look

Canyon Aeroad CF SLX: race geometry. TIME ADHX: all-road geometry.

Across matched sizes, the frame fronts of Canyon Aeroad CF SLX and TIME ADHX differ by only a few millimetres. Stem and spacer choices will have more effect on handlebar position.
The frame front of TIME ADHX is about 12 mm shorter. Handlebar position also depends on the stem and spacers.

For the Canyon Aeroad CF SLX in 2XL there is no TIME ADHX size with a comparable position: the range simply does not reach there.

These two split on bottom bracket; the sourced values are below. What each difference means for your size, your setup and the riding you describe is in the full comparison.
