Brilliant review - loving the matching bike / jersey combo by the way.
Great video, I just watched your original impressions video and this update. I purchased the unisex Endurace and I'm still waiting for it, so I'm always happy to find videos from satisfied, long term Endurace riders.
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. 😀
Thanks for the update - glad you are enjoying the bike. Interesting hearing about the adjustment you made as you took on longer distances.
I was very tempted at one point to use my touring bike for the 600km. My sit bones are like steel but my arms not so much which is why for really long distance or touring I prefer the more upright position. Once I get my fitting checkup to make sure I'm aligned well with the new stem I think I'll be good to go for a while, no 400/600km rides planned this year :)
Hello Michelle. Another good video with the follow up on the canyon bike. Nice top. 🍷👍
Thank you Stuart 🍷
I totally agree about tires, taking them off or on is very hard. Fortunately so far 2500 km without a single puncture.
Great review thanks! Love the colour combination and cute jersey. Bought this bike and waiting for it eagerly. It says thru axles front and back sold separately but canyon say it isn't - did you get yours included in your delivery? Impossible to ride without them!
That is interesting and a bit odd. Yes my bike did come with thru axels. Hope yours arrives soon and you love it as much as I love mine.
Look forward to it.
Hi, have you had any feedback or reviews on the smaller framed Canyon Endurace? I think I would need the 2XS (5'4") which seems to have smaller wheels and was wondering if anyone has experience of that?
I'm glad I'm not the only one swayed by the colour of the bike when picking one 😅
Bonding with your bike is very important and loving the look of your bike helps 😀 I almost went with all black! 😮
This is my favorite color too 😍
🙌 Good taste 😁
Hi. Thank you for all your videos. They’ve been super helpful. I’ve been deciding between this, the Giant Defy and the Specialized Roubiax. They all have their pros and cons. But, it sounds like comfort mainly comes from the geometry of the bike, the right set of wheels and a proper fitting. Sounds easy enough. I have to say, though... the more expensive brands really do a great job convincing us that we need all their extra fancy tech so that we’ll spend the $$. But, (from what I hear) Canyon has a great customer service dept. So, I suppose it won’t hurt to at least order one and try it out!
Any regrets going with Canyon? Any possible upgrades planned for comfort or performance?
I have no regrets with my Canyon, it's been over 2 years now and looking forward to many more miles on it. If I was to upgrade something I would likely look at wheels as they would make the most noticeable difference. The 105 is a great groupset so other than getting Di2 I can't see changing that.
You are right about the PR in cycling... I try to keep what I love about cycling in the forefront of my mind when deciding what to spend my money on :)
Good luck with your decision!
Hello! I enjoyed your helpful video as I'm considering purchasing this bicycle. Quick question: Did you buy the women's specific frame model?
Hi Linda, Sorry for the slow reply I've just seen your question here. My Canyon is woman specific.
Thanks for Excellent video as usual , i
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it.
Great vid thanks :)
I'm 172cm/82cm and having the same dilemma with XS and S. Without a test ride you've just confirmed what I had planned and go up to S :)
Hello Kieran! How did it go? I have the same height and 81 cm of inseam. I'm also doubting between these two, inclining more for the S. I'm a guy but looking to order the WMN model because of the less aggressive geometry.
@@sebaslap ended up with a 2nd hand TCR as one popped up in my local area for a great price!
@@kieransweeney6010 Thanks for the quick reply! I hope you end up liking the TCR :)
Hi great vid! I also live in Bristol and have the same bike but a size L. Think the 110cm stem is causing me to overreach a little so getting pain in my lower back. Looking to get a bike fitting and wondering where you had yours done ?
Mine was done at Business as Usual 😀
I swapped out my stem for a shorter one, I have a really short torso. It made a big difference.
Great video insight. I'm thinking of purchasing either the Ultimate or Endurace and wanted to know where you tested it in the UK?
They used to have testing days in the UK. You can sign up to their newsletter to find out about them.
How tall are you for riding the S size? Wondering for my own size. Thanks
Michelle an other great video.Report back sometime on the continent tires I am looking at the same tire.Thanks🇨🇦🚵♀️
I'm not sure I can make a whole video on a road tire. However with the help of my new colleague at my new job it might become a possiblity (he's much more educated on this stuff than I am). Stay tuned!
Thanks for update. What stem did you put on this canyon bike, I need to shorten mine too. I know it needs 1- 1/4 steer tube diameter, i can't find it on amazon. please help.
You mention in your video that you can test ride Canyon bikes in the UK. Where? Do they have some sort of test center or was this an event?
They put on events through out the year. If you sign up for the newsletter or keep an eye on the events section of the website that's where you can see them.
Really thinking of getting an endurace disc for Audaxes, the thing that puts me off is not compatible with mudguards, what di you do in the winter??
Mudguards aren't a problem. This 400km Audax I rode last year requires them czcams.com/video/Rp1ktM96gCc/video.html 😀
Hi Michelle, what was the main reason you jumped up a size could you give a little more detail please, Thanks
I explained in the original review. You can find it here czcams.com/video/9l6q5GLexYI/video.html 😊
Hello Michelle. Which Selle Italia saddle do you have installed on your bike?
I'm not sure how widly available it is (the black one is sold out as far as I know). This is it in the colour of my orginal one: road.cc/content/review/166553-selle-italia-diva-gel-flow-saddle
Thanks for the brilliantly informative video. May I bother a bit? I have a question. What is your stem angle and length?
I'm not sure of the angle (I'm sure Canyon have it on the geometry chart), I have flipped the stem now so it's no longer slammed and it's the 80mm . Hope that helps! 😃
@@OneLessCar Thanks! I checked the chart and it is 6 degrees if the model is V13. Seems quite relaxed riding position with that setup.
How did you manage a test ride? I am right in the middle of sizes so am unsure about a purchase, thanks
In the UK they have test rides. You can find out about them on the events section of the website (and I think by signing up to the newsletter). After lockdown is over it might be a good idea to message them. Otherwise if you are between sizes I'd take a look at the geometry of the bike and compare it to what you have, if you have a similar type bike already, that could help.
Hi, nice, did you have any problems with pressfit bb? Thanks
None, still using the original.
Where can I test ride these please
Thank you for the thorough review! I have a question for you about the size. You were given the recommendation to purchase the XS (I've been given that recommendation as well), but you got the S... and you're happy with the S. My question is: IF you had gotten the XS, do you think you would've needed to add spacers to raise the handlebar height and shorten the stem?
I would have had to add spacers. I have long legs and a smaller frame would have put my saddle higher which would have put me in a more aggressive position with my saddle higher than my handlebars than I currently have. I prefer an upright position ( even more so when on rides over 200km or multli day rides) so to get that I'd have needed more spacers than I had previous to shortening the stem.
My first road bike was the same size as my S canyon and when I had it fitted I was told it was the right size. When I had the Canyon fitted I was told the same (even with the longer stem).
Hope that wasn't too confusing! 😀 If you need more clarity let me know.
@@OneLessCar Yeah, I can see what you're saying. I sure wish I could talk to you--- I REALLY don't want to make a mistake with the size when order, even tho' the rep has told me twice that if it's not the right size, I can send it back and they would pay the shipping. Well, that's nice of them, HOWEVER, I don't want to have to do that-- I want to get it right the first time!!! And with the shortage of bikes over here, who knows how long it would take to get the replacement? You and I have almost EXACTLY the same measurements of height (168 cm) and inseam-- mine is just 5 mm longer than yours... 82.5! But the rep keeps saying that I should trust the calculator on their website, which says XS. An XS may be perfect for my reach, but on an XS, I'm afraid my knees will hit me in the chin when I pedal! You can only raise the saddle so much to make the bike fit your leg length! If all that isn't confusing enough, this Endurace CF SL Disc 7 is also available with a WOMEN'S specific geometry! I just WISH I could try out the bike like you were able to!!!! Unfortunately, Canyon Bikes are located over 1000 miles away. May I ask you-- how much stand-over clearance do you have over your S? Also, do you recall how much you have the seat raised? I think I'm very fortunate to have run across your video-- what are the chances of finding someone the same size as I am riding the exact bike I'm looking to buy?????
@@SisterBaby My saddle is 72cm from the middle of the bottom bracket. I have plenty of clearance (and I have a bike with very little and this isn't the case with the canyon). The thing I found strange with their online measuring tool (when I ordered my bike) was I could change EVERY other measurment and nothing would happen (except the occasional warning of that doesn't seem right). The only measurement that made any change in recommondations was the leg length. So with that, with the fact that I'd had a bike previously the same size as the S and the fact that I'd had that bike fitted were all confirmation, the S was the one for me. All the test ride did was confirm how small the XS was. The top tube was so low when I stood next to it It was like it was a kids bike.
I'd say if you want an aggressive position go for the xs, if you want a more upright one go for the S and adust the stem for the reach.
@@OneLessCar hiya may I know how far in height and inseam you were from that of the actual measurements Canyon recommends for an S? I've ordered an Endurace CF SL 7 too but in 2XS as recommended by Canyon but when I tried my friend's unisex Ultimate in 2XS, the bike feels tiny to me. Granted it's not the same bike but I compared measurements between the Endurace and the Ultimate in 2XS and the Endurace is even smaller. So, now I'm wondering if I should get it in an XS instead. I'm 164cm with an inseam of around 75cm but the recommended measurements for an XS is minimally 166cm. When I increased my height and kept my inseam the same, they then recommended me an XS. So, it seems their measurement system is purely based on height. Shrugs.. really confused.
I love my Endurace
My girlfriend is buying her first road bike and she is 163x78 cm. Canyon recommend an xxs but i’m afraid it can be too compact. Following the size chart it seems reasonable. We were thinking of opting for the man versione due to the 27.5 wheel size of the Wmn xxs. Thank you for any advice
what size did you end up getting?
I have the same issue as your girlfriend. I'm 164cm but my inseam is 75cm. I compare the geometry of the 2xs to my current bike and the measurements are way off. Which bike did you go for in the end?
Excellent!!. Going to do another one?. KEEP SAFE!! ps You'll be able to ride miles from Wednesday!!
Thanks Sheila, hope you are well. I'm waiting for when stealth camping will be ok. It's the over night adventures I'm missing right now, especially with all this dry sunny weather.
I actually got the 8.0 version of this bike a year ago and I'm still really happy with it. Followed
Canyons size guide and it works perfect for me, which was also confirmed by my physio bikefitter. I like the saddle it came with. Like you I also found it quite difficult to change the tyre, but have only had to do it once and managed to do it myself. I got the burgundy colour and it is so pretty in the sun!
Have you tried to fit tires bigger than 700 x 30s?
@@BrwnRc no I haven't, I'm still riding the 28s :(
@@janine565 nice! Been eyeing the endurace and coming from a trek domane sl5 2021. Want something a bit more road riding focused but want clearance for 32-35mm max to do a few gravel races this year hence the question
i'm 1000k into my canyon endurace (CF SL 7.0). Interesting that you sized up. Im 172.6 cm, inseam 80 (ish) cm. it came with an 80cm stem. I'm right on the upper limit of the canyon sizing. I went with XS as per canyon's suggestion. and it feels comfortable for me.... though, I have no other road bikes to compare to (as this is my first foray into road bikes). Strictly speaking i think i should be an S - I've always known my height to be 172cm and entered this into the sizing calculator. A month after buying the bike I decided to actually measure my height - turns out I'm slightly taller! I guess, the fact that you being 168cm (and comfortable on an S) and me being 172cm (and being comfortable on an XS) implies that there's a fair degree of tolerance and adjustability within the sizing guide. Do you have much toe overlap?
Hi.
I am 172cm and inseam is 86ish cm....where do you live,can I try your bike?
Canyon is recommending me xs aeroad... need help
this might be late but I think the difference is that you have smaller inseam than Michelle, I also have long legs compared to the rest of the body and that makes it so that I need a really high saddle height which, if you have a smaller frame with lower stack, puts you in a more agressive position. I think Canyon sizing works for people with more normal sized legs lol but for us with longer legs getting a bike is a little more difficult, we kinda have to compromise somewhere. In the end it is easier to adjust the reach, by getting a smaller stem, than adjusting the stack of the bike. I'm 1.61m and have 79cm inseam eheh compare that to your measures and you can see how much longer my legs are compared to my body size, Canyon recomends 2XS for me but I'll probably get the XS :)
Hi! Thanks for the video, I was looking at purchasing my first road bike and have been looking at this bike, the canyon endurace AL7 . Basically I’ve been riding Bromptons for the last 3 years. Do you think it’s an overkill for a beginner, would you suggest starting with a cheaper spec bike and working my way up. I have no idea 🙈. Thanks!
I think it's a great starting point if you go lower you may find yourself wanting to upgrade sooner. I think the 105 groupset is the sweet spot for value for money and the gear range is great to help your beginner legs get up those hills 🙌
We love U. 💓💓💓.
your sun or something must be crazy there. I noticed that the cranks on both this bike and your Brodie are completely dull matte finished from weathering and sun oxidization. I do see that on my bike parts but only ones that are 6-8 yrs old or more.
The Canyon is all matt (frame and all) and always has been, same for the cranks on the Brodie, though it has seen a fair amount of UV ☀️☀️☀️😀
Can you link your saddle please?
I'm not sure how widly available it is (the black one is sold out as far as I know). This is it in the colour of my orginal one: road.cc/content/review/166553-selle-italia-diva-gel-flow-saddle
How's 105 group set holding up?
It's been great. 105 is the sweet spot for me of the group sets.
My girlfriend rides a medium unisex Giant Fathom , so I'm inclined to take your advice and ordering a size up. She is 170cm has a 79cm inseam, so kind of similar. and looks a similar shape / build to you. Do you mind elaborating on the differences you found? Or kindly measure your arms so I can compare reach!? 🤗🤗🤗
If she is happy with the size of the Giant I would check the geometry chart of the Canyon and compare them to get an idea of how it might compare to what she's used to. That's where I first noticed something seemed off, the bike I currently had, which I'd had fitted was the same as the size S not XS. My fitter had said I had the right size bike. Going to test ride the bike confirmed to me that the xs was very small. I don't like an aggressive riding position and I felt that the xs would mean I'd have to pull the saddle to the max height putting it too high in comparison to the handlebars due to my long legs.
With the size S I ordered I switched to an 80mm stem to make up for my short reach. I have normal to longish arms but a short torso so I have a short reach. It's for this reason that one day I look forward to getting a bike custom built for me :)
@@OneLessCar thanks very much for your reply. I sent the MTB size chart to Canyon and they said it varied too much and the angulations were too different for a decent comparison. I bought her a shorter stem on the Fathom as well so that's interesting to know that you switched it. I have sent Canyon some side-on mages of her sat on my turbo whilst upright and reaching forward. Which is a 60.5 top tube (XL) Giant TCR with a 120mm stem LOL. But just to show them that she might need a longer position. I will let you know what they say :)
@@HowayTheMags I'd guess they will just go by their size chart which is online. What I noticed about it when I ordered my bike was I could change the measurements and nothing made any difference as to the size bike it would recommend except for the inseam number.... That's when I lost faith in their sizing.
You mentioned that you went up a size to a size small. Just wondering how tall you are? I'm debating on what size to get.
It was more than just height, that I based my decions on (info is in the video at the 05:00 mark) it was my inseam and the fact that the S was the same size as my current road bike wihich I'd had fitted and was told it was a good size for me. The final thing that made the decision was seeing how small the XS was when I test rode the bike.
@@OneLessCar ... may I ask where and when did you do test ride on a Canyon in UK? I need help for test riding an aeroad please.
Good
Thank you for the video. I am responsible for 200 km :) LOL

You really need to junk the tannus inserts, buy a pair of tubeless valves and some sealent, IMO does a better job than the tannus, without the weight and a better feel and more comfort on the road, especially if your going up to 30mm tyres.
Since you had to shorten and raise the stem it sounds like Canyon’s recommended size that you ignored was correct. SMH
Those changes were to achieve a more upright position, which I prefer for endurance riding. Had I got the smaller size my saddle in relationships to my handlebars would have had me in an even more aggressive position as it would have been raised higher out of the seat tube to accommodate my 32" inseam. I've also had multiple bike fits and the one I had on my first road bike the fitter advised I could have gone up a size, another factor in my choice.
