Canyon has launched new additions to the Endurace line in the form of three top-end CFR models and five CF SLX models.
The Endurace line received an update back in January 2022 when Canyon overhauled the entry-level CF and AL aluminium bikes. These models remain in the lineup going forward, but fast forward a year and a half and the sharp end of the range has now also been overhauled.
CFR bikes are Canyon’s highest category models and the Endurace lineup now gains CFR classification bikes alongside the Ultimate and Aeroad. CFR frames feature higher grades of carbon fibre and manufacturing which are said to produce an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. Canyon claims the CFR frame is about 100 grams lighter than the CF SLX.
The Endurace sits alongside Canyon’s Aeroad and Ultimate models as the brand’s endurance-focused, all-day comfort bike. It has received several updates since its inception back in 2014 and the standout updates for the new bike centre around a brand new top tube frame storage compartment, increased tyre clearance, new aerodynamic features and revised geometry.
The three top-end CFR models will have build kits to match, featuring either Dura-Ace, SRAM Red or Campagnolo Super Record groupsets and DT Swiss ERC 1100 wheels or Campagnolo Boras for the Super Record option.
There are five CF SLX models. Four are separated by a choice of SRAM Force, SRAM Rival, Shimano Ultegra or Shimano 105 groupsets. The fifth model is equipped with Ultegra Di2 and deeper aero DT Swiss ERC 1400 wheels.
Interestingly, every bike comes equipped with a Quarq, 4iii or Shimano power meter bar the most expensive CFR Super Record option as there is currently no power meter option for the new Campagnolo groupset, though this may change in the future.
All models will feature Canyon’s CP0018 adjustable cockpit and the S15 VCLS 2.0 leaf spring suspension seatpost. Full build options and pricing are in a table below.
According to Canyon, the Endurace has long been a bike designed to help riders find comfort as well as speed on the road. Sharing handling characteristics with racier stablemates the Aeroad and Ultimate but providing a more comfortable platform. The brand says the Endurace is a bike for ‘going long’ on, providing comfort as well as speed on longer or all-day rides.
