![]() ![]() The new Endurace uses Canyon’s Sport geometry, with a more relaxed fit than the Ultimate race all-rounder and Aeroad aero bike. “Extra attention is paid to tolerances in the manufacturing process with stringent quality checks to ensure long-lasting, creak-free, smooth-spinning performance,” says Canyon. Not so with the Endurace, though Canyon does nod to the potential drawbacks of the design, and the steps the brand is taking to address those. The new fork shares the same 1-1/4in diameter as the Endurace CF SLX, said to increase stiffness under heavy braking and improve steering precision, according to Canyon.Īs for the new BB86 bottom bracket, that’s where the latest Endurace starts to buck the trend.Īfter years of pushing press fit, we’ve seen a number of brands – including the original press fit pioneers Cannondale, on the new Synapse – revert to threaded bottom brackets. Quality finishing kit features throughout the range. Canyon’s press materials make no mention of mudguard mounts on either the carbon fibre Endurace CF or aluminium Endurace AL, but we’ve asked for confirmation. Mudguard fans will be disappointed, though. ![]() We’ve previously covered the potential benefits of wider tyres, not least for the type of riding this bike is intended for, but to recap: more comfort, more grip and, if you play your cards right, more speed, too.Ĭanyon has specced a 30mm front tyre and 32mm rear tyre across most of the range, following the new Aeroad in using different tyre sizes for either end of the bike (the Aeroad has an aero-minded 25mm/28mm combination). “Remember when 25mm tyres were considered wide on a road bike? Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then,” says Canyon.Īs we’ve already stated, that means clearance for 35mm tyres, matching the likes of the Synapse, Cervélo Caledonia and Orbea Avant as an endurance bike with plenty of room for plush road or light gravel rubber. While the Endurace’s frame shape remains largely unchanged, Canyon has made a number of changes to bring the platform up to date. “At a time when there are more newcomers discovering cycling than ever, these new Endurace platforms meet that demand by raising the bar for quality at more affordable price points.” What’s new? 30mm and beyond “Here are two new bikes that underline our commitment to democratise performance, taking the class-leading attributes of the Endurace CF SLX and making them more accessible than ever,” says Canyon’s press release. Tino PohlmannĬanyon says the latest Endurace design will allow riders to do more with their bike while remaining true to the platform’s original ethos and, within the context of 2022, the German direct-sales brand’s typically aggressive pricing. There’s a new aluminium frame, too, with the same updated features. ![]()
