Some of you have commented that you would have liked me to give a solid opinion on which bike, well the reality is none of these bikes really gets me that excited and ticks all the boxes. Or perhaps it's just that deep down I would probably prefer a traditional sort of road bike. So I've given this more thought and this is my recommendation: If you want a full blown endurance bike, get the Trek Domane. If you want a simple light bike with some endurance concessions, get the Canyon Endurace.

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

I bought the Defy Advanced Pro 2 last October after riding a 15.5 lb race bike. Goal was to get more comfort in my sore back. Price was $4300USD and there were only two in the US in my size. Luckily drove one state over to purchase. It feels fast, definitely more comfortable, disc breaks are better when wet conditions, and what surprised me most was 32mm tubeless adds a lot of comfort. You also get 11-34 in back so you can practically ride up steps. Vanity wise, the color is awesome, rosewood. I get frequent compliments.

3:05 - When the Specialized Roubaix was introduced in 2004, it never had any wins at Robaix, so it does not get its name "from the 'impressive wins over' the cobbles of Roubaix", but simply for "the cobbles of Roubaix". And who at Trek came up with that silly in-frame storage compartment? It makes frame construction complicated and expensive, it provides many additional spots for frame failure, and wrapping up your stuff in that pouch so it sits inside the frame without rattling, is so much more inconvenient compared to just stuffing your things in your Jersey pockets. And, when almost every company uses its own BB measurement, how can you call it "standard"?

Nice start, but I was disappointed in several things. Bike weights are great, but I think most people concerned about it want comparisons on frame weights, not the entire bike which usually is dragged down by the variety cheap or mediocre wheels these manufacturers saddle the bike down with from the LBS. the groupos weight the same, but it’s the seatpost and wheels ( which many people immediately upgrade) which shave off lots of weight. I just picked up a Salsa Cutthroat GRX for instance, and despite it being almost $4k, the wheels weighed almost 2200 grams.

In my case the limiting screws of the front derailed weren't set at all and the chain dropped on the first shift (luckily in the bike stand). Also the bar tape was not wrapped very good. Canyon sent me a 80 € gift card after complaining about the issues. After 2 years and about 4500 km, I can say, that I am very happy with the bike. Everything works fine. I upgraded recently to a Zipp 303S tubeless whilst, which is a great addition to the bike.

The Canyon seems perfect, but it's not as smooth as the others. The Giant is edging it...but....it's a bit fugly around the head tube.The Synapse, seems fast and comfortable, but its just not appealing to me as much.

A so called endurance bike is supposed to have a more relaxed geometry than a traditional road bike. At the same frame size an EB has a taller head tube and shorter top tube to give you a slightly more upright seating position. Fun thing is that the riders with the greatest endurance, professional bike racers, ride traditional, aggressive-geometry road bikes. So the destinction "endurance" is pretty silly.

@@mpereirawolf The isospeed is the best bit of the bike, I cannot even tell its there. However since I posted this comment I've been trying to lower the weight as it is slower climbing due to the extra weight. So I've gone GRX 1x, added lightweight carbon wheels and Deda finishing kit. Lighter is definitely much better! However, it is still wonderfully comfortable, especially with the 700*30c tyres. I might go 28c to reduce weight further.

I mean also very light. The way the tyres fiz to the wheels allows to use smaller sizes but creating a bigger volume
