I moved back to northern Illinois from Colorado a couple of years ago and in the process sold all my bikes except a Surly Pacer thinking that my riding days were mostly behind me. Foolish! I bought a Canyon Grizl and I’m extremely happy with it, and now I’m looking for a go-fast bike for the road f…

My Endurace is consistently mistaken for an Ultimate. Never had an issue remaining at the pointy end. [image]

I have the ultimate and would go endurace next time just for a better fit. It’s a really agile and responsive bike though. As a plus there’s the new integrated bar of the endurace.

Endurance owner here, -17 degree stem, aero bars and deep wheels, certainly not being left behind. It is the the endu-race after all. Get the one that fits.

That’s one of the nicest Canyon paint jobs I’ve seen, too many of them are boring!

Thanks, @cartsman ! Agreed on Canyon’s typical approach… mine was suitably stripped and reborn :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the input. It looks like the out-of-the-box geometry of the Endurace is slightly less aggressive than my Grizl and the Ultimate slightly more, which tells me I should start with the Endurace. Now I just have to wait for them to get my size back in stock. And yes, I like the color of …

I love my Endurace, almost everything about it other than some toe overlap, mostly with gravel tires/climbs. If you worry about fit and the proprietary handlebars you may want to consider going with the most expensive version with the “normal” stem/handlebars to give you more fit choice and ease of …

This is exactly what I did. 2021 CF SL 8 with the regular bar and stem. Swapped the stem for a -17 no spacers underneath. Profile drive aero bars. The only issue is the 1 1/4 steerer makes stem options really limited. Luckily Ritchey makes some that are very affordable. I would buy this bike again…

[image] BlueHeron: This is exactly what I did. 2021 CF SL 8 Same bike! And good point about the steerer - less choice for sure, but at least Giant and a few other smaller brands use the same size, some there were some options. Even Redshift started making a compatible shockstop stem when I wa…

I bought an Endurance and didn’t like much, turns out I sold it and bought a TCR 2021 on Market Place. Way happier with the TCR. I found the Endurance too relaxed for me. Don’t get me wrong, the bike is nice, it just didn’t fit with my style. BTW, I was coming from a Tarmac, so I guess the TCR is c…

I’ve thought more about “why not the Aeroad” and I keep coming back to concerns about comfort on long days. Do you have any experience with it?
