After the carbon version of the Endurace presented in spring, Canyon followed up with a more affordable aluminium version at Eurobike. The main feature is the geometry designed for a comfortable riding position. No other comfort road bike is as consistent in this respect, not even the Roubaix models from comfort pioneer Specialized. With hydroformed tubes and cables running inside the frame, the bike has a contemporary look. The classic BSA threaded bottom bracket and a 1-1/8-inch steerer reduce costs and ensure easy access to spare parts. An 11/32 cassette offers reserves for steep climbs. High-quality add-on parts and solid Aksium wheels from Mavic round off the range. Extra praise goes to the perfectly wrapped handlebar tape. Interesting for tall riders: the frame is available up to size 65.
