I’m lucky enough that I spend 8 months in the US and 4 months in Europe, every year. Because of this I have a bike in the US and one in Europe. After years on an old bike, in the US I bought a Canyon Endurace about an year ago, and it worked out well: it’s a touch too small, but I can probably fix i…

You’re in Europe so I don’t know how taxes and duties work. I bought a Canyon Endurance last year, and it turned out to cost the same price as a same-level bike if I had bought it here (Canada). So keep in mind to check this first. TCR x Endurance is quite different, and I had the Canyon and now I …

the canyon for $2500 with 12 speed 105 is a great deal. Comparable giant tcr is more expensive, at least msrp wise on their website. They’re similar bikes with the stack and reach on the canyon being marginally higher and longer using the size medium as a reference. It will also be marginally more “…

I’d say that the differences are noticeable for having ridden both, and the numbers: [image]

I’m not planning to the get the Endurace, but the Ultimate. The Giant was an example of a “value” kind of bicycle, but at least at my LBS they don’t have my size. At another LBS they have Italian brands like Colnago, Wilier, De Rosa, Pinarello, but they are WAY more expensive and beyond my budget.

I’d go for it! The only issue I’ve ever heard about Canyon is that support in the U.S. can be difficult, but since you’re in Europe every year you shouldn’t have any issues…

Although to be fair I did have a small issue when I got my Endurace in the US (brakes needed to be bled), and the support was pretty good as in they sent me to a shop and paid for it.

I’m a bit put off by the integrated cockpit. Nice looking, but potentially quite a PITA.

I may end up pulling the trigger, but being forced into the system with a proprietary cockpit is putting me a bit off and I need to mull it over. It will force me to get a new mount for my cyclocomputer and bound me in should I ever have to change it (for fit, or whatever reason). At my main LBS th…

I found that cockpit enticing, to be honest. And, as far as I know, it’s fully customized, so fit shouldn’t be an issue. Just to be clear, are we talking about this Ultimate: [image] If so, bear in mind that this is the old frameset, if I’m correct. And even the cockpit, I don’t think is the lat…

How, the Ultimate is whole different beast. And yes, I think it’s a awesome bike. I like the cockpit.
