Canyon endurance bike update#

The hydraulic ULTEGRA disc brakes have proven to offer reliable stopping power and good modulation. When it comes to the drivetrain and brakes, the Endurace CF 8 is specced with excellent Shimano ULTEGRA components. The All-Road model maxes out the new frame’s tire clearances with 35 mm Schwalbe G-One Speed tires, making it ready for some light gravel action.Ĭanyon Endurace CF 8 | 8.3 kg | 2,299 € Canyon Endurace CF 7 eTap | 8.6 kg | 2,999 € Canyon Endurace CF 7 AllRoad | 8.9 kg | 2,999 € Our tip – the 2022 Canyon Endurace CF 8 Both models with the additional suffix make use of the wireless SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset. In addition to the “classic” Canyon Endurace CF 7 and CF 8 models, you also get the CF 7 eTap and the CF 7 All-Road versions. Canyon’s Endurace range starts at just €1,399 and you’ll be able to swing your leg over a carbon model for as little as €1,999. The two entry-level aluminium models are available with rim brakes on request.

The fork is made of carbon across the board and designed for disc brakes – mostly. The 2022 Canyon Endurace comes in 6 different versions, 2 of which are based on an aluminium and 4 on a carbon frame. The 2022 Canyon Endurace models – An affordable entry into the world of carbon If you’re looking for an all-weather bike, for commuting and the like, Canyon offer the Grail with a special set of mudguards. We were told they’ve done so to underline the bike’s sporty character. As before, Canyon have decided against the option of mudguards on the new Endurace platform. Besides bosses for 2 bottle cages in the front triangle, you now have the option of mounting a bag on the top tube – clean and secure without Velcro straps. Canyon have also given the frame a few additional mounting points. Additionally, the rear triangle and fork can now accommodate tires that are up to 35 mm wide, increasing the tire clearances by 7 mm compared to the predecessor. The frame of the Endurace CF has the same geometry as the SL or SLX models, except for a 6 mm longer (in size M) and more voluminous head tube. The latter will continue to be available alongside the new Endurace CF models at least until the end of the 2022 season, listed above them.Īs much as the carbon layup may differ from the SL and SLX models, the geometry does not. The new Endurace CF isn’t replacing the Endurace CF SL and CF SLX. Doing so mostly increases the weight of the frameset. However, Canyon claim that the new Endurace uses a simpler carbon layup than the Endurace CF SL and CF SLX. When developing the 2022 Endurace, Canyon seem to have followed the motto of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” – at least as far as the basic design of the frame is concerned. The changes compared to last year’s model aren’t big, though they all make sense. We found out whether anything else has changed besides increased tire clearances and additional mounting points on the frame, and we’ll tell you which model we’d recommend. With the 2022 Canyon Endurace, the German direct to consumer brand present the latest edition of their best-selling classic for beginners and all-road fans.

Canyon endurance bike update#

I also want to update to disc brakes, 11 speed, and I'm torn between Di2 or some nice carbon wheels.Canyon present the new 2022 Endurace, available with a carbon or aluminium frame and relying on a compromise of endurance and racing genes. Hours in the saddle, so while I like to go fast when I'm out sprinting around with the guys, I know in my head that compliance for long hours on the bike is going to be important. That's what makes me lean towards something more endurance oriented.

About 102 miles and 11,000 feet of climbing. Mitchell, and the training rides that lead up to it. I would be a size L in the Canyon, in order to get the needed 81-82cm from top of saddle to middle of BB. My Scott is a 58, and I'm near the top of the saddle range. For instance, I was all set on the Trek Emonda, but the saddle would not go high enough for me on a size 58. I have a short torso, but really long arms and legs, that makes it hard to get fit.

I would say it leans a bit more towards race. It's not super racey, but not endurance either. I'm fine with the fit I have on my CR1 10. Just looking to clarify to help facilitate the discussion: Are you looking to keep a more aggressive position on the bike, but want something more compliant than your current setup?Thanks for the question.
