\n\n

Canyon has updated its Endurace CF and AL frames to increase tyre clearance (from 30mm to 35mm) and add top tube mounts, while also introducing a new fork and bottom bracket.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Endurace CF (carbon fibre) and AL (aluminium) come hot on the heels of one of its key endurance bike competitors, the new Cannondale Synapse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Canyon\u2019s latest update is decidedly low-tech compared to the integrated lights and radar of the Synapse, the new Endurace does match it pound-for-pound by adding 35mm tyre clearance and mounting points for a bento box.<\/p>\n

Canyon has kept an eye on performance with the 2022 Endurace and borrows a new carbon fork and the BB86 bottom bracket standard<\/a>, both said to improve stiffness, from the flagship Endurace CF SLX, which remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

The aluminium Endurace range includes two models, with Shimano Tiagra and Shimano 105 for \u00a31,399 \/ \u20ac1,399 and \u00a31,699 \/ \u20ac1,699 respectively. Meanwhile, the Endurace CF line-up covers four models, from \u00a31,999 \/ \u20ac1,999 with Shimano 105 to \u00a32,999 \/ \u20ac2,999 with SRAM Rival eTap AXS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The carbon fibre range includes an \u201call-road\u201d build, with 35mm gravel bike tyres<\/a>, hinting at the brand\u2019s versatile intentions for the bike, though the Canyon Grail<\/a> and Canyon Grizl<\/a> remain the true gravel riding<\/a> options.<\/p>\n

Setting the scene<\/h2>\n
\""Canyon\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The revamped Canyon Endurace CF has clearance for 35mm tyres and top tube mounts, plus a new fork and bottom bracket.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

As the name suggests, the Endurace has historically been positioned as an endurance bike with performance under the bonnet. The Endurace platform was introduced in 2014<\/a> before receiving an update in 2016<\/a>, with the flagship Endurace CF SLX becoming Canyon\u2019s first bike with road disc brakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A lot has changed since then. Rim brakes have been consigned to history and gravel bikes<\/a> have risen to prominence, alongside trends towards wider road tyres and a demand for more versatility.<\/p>\n

The Endurace reflects all of those changes, including the adoption of disc brakes across the new AL and CF range.<\/p>\n

\""Canyon\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
There\u2019s a new aluminium frame, too, with the same updated features.<\/span><\/figcaption> Tino Pohlmann<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Canyon says the latest Endurace design will allow riders to do more with their bike while remaining true to the platform\u2019s original ethos and, within the context of 2022, the German direct-sales brand\u2019s typically aggressive pricing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere 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,\u201d says Canyon\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new?<\/h2>\n

30mm and beyond<\/h3>\n

While the Endurace\u2019s frame shape remains largely unchanged, Canyon has made a number of changes to bring the platform up to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember when 25mm tyres were considered wide on a road bike? Thankfully, we\u2019ve come a long way since then,\u201d says Canyon.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve already stated, that means clearance for 35mm tyres, matching the likes of the Synapse, Cerv\u00e9lo Caledonia<\/a> and Orbea Avant<\/a> as an endurance bike with plenty of room for plush road or light gravel rubber.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve 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<\/a>, more speed, too.<\/p>\n

Canyon has specced a 30mm front tyre and 32mm rear tyre across most of the range, following the new Aeroad<\/a> in using different tyre sizes for either end of the bike (the Aeroad has an aero-minded 25mm\/28mm combination).<\/p>\n

Mudguard fans will be disappointed, though. Canyon\u2019s press materials make no mention of mudguard mounts on either the carbon fibre Endurace CF or aluminium Endurace AL, but we\u2019ve asked for confirmation.<\/p>\n

The new Endurace follows the trend for more storage by adding mounts to the top tube.<\/span><\/figcaption> Tino Pohlmann<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Comfort is king<\/h3>\n

A quick word on comfort: as well as increasing the Endurace\u2019s tyre clearance, Canyon has specced its VCLS (Vertical\u00a0 Comfort\u00a0 Lateral\u00a0 Stiffness) seatpost on all but one bike, with a carbon layup designed to improve comfort.<\/p>\n

The seatpost clamp also remains integrated into the seat tube, the thinking being that it leaves more of the post available to flex.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much more to say about the Endurace\u2019s new top tube mounts. However, having first appeared on gravel and bikepacking<\/a> bikes, as an additional option for riders to store snacks and the like, it\u2019s something we\u2019re now starting to see on the latest endurance bikes.<\/p>\n

\""Canyon\"<\/picture><\/div>

Staying loyal to press fit<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As for the new BB86 bottom bracket, that\u2019s where the latest Endurace starts to buck the trend.<\/p>\n

After years of pushing press fit, we\u2019ve seen a number of brands \u2013 including the original press fit pioneers Cannondale, on the new Synapse \u2013 revert to threaded bottom brackets.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtra attention is paid to tolerances in the manufacturing process with stringent quality checks to ensure long-lasting, creak-free, smooth-spinning performance,\u201d says Canyon.<\/p>\n

2022 Canyon Endurace geometry<\/h2>\n

The new Endurace uses Canyon\u2019s Sport geometry, with a more relaxed fit than the Ultimate race all-rounder and Aeroad aero bike<\/a>. That primarily means more stack and less reach for a more upright, less stretched position on the bike.<\/p>\n

Canyon likes to use stack-to-reach ratios to benchmark the different layouts of its bikes: the new Endurace CF\u2019s ratio is 1.56, compared to 1.45 for the Ultimate CF SLX.<\/p>\n

While the Endurace\u2019s geometry reflects its position in the market, Canyon says the handling should be similar to the Ultimate, with an aim of retaining the zip and precision of the racier bike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we differentiate geometry when it comes to a less aggressive rider position, we look to maintain the key handling attributes that make a Canyon a Canyon \u2013\u00a0 agility to respond and the accuracy to carve precise lines across the road,\u201d reads the brand\u2019s press material.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ultimate has built a reputation as one of the finest-handling bikes on the scene, and the Endurace should be no different. If we take the trail measurement as an indicator of a bike\u2019s agility, both the new Endurace CF and Endurace AL lines, and our Ultimate family, run around 60mm in a size medium for a comparable feel at the controls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Canyon is offering the Endurace CF and Endurace AL in eight sizes, from XXXS to XXL. The two smallest sizes come with 650b wheels<\/a>, while 700c wheels<\/a> feature across the rest of the size range.<\/p>\n

2022 Canyon Endurace CF and AL specs and prices<\/h2>\n

While we\u2019ve seen price hikes across the industry<\/a>, and Canyon hasn\u2019t escaped the impact of supply chain and shipping pressures, the new Endurace range looks very competitively specced for the money. UK and US prices are to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a generous splash of colour across the range, along with the usual black options.<\/p>\n
