I am SHOCKED By CANYON BIKES!! *Canyon ENDURACE CFR $7700*

[@GCPerformance18]

I hate to admit it but I can not think of any company out there right now offering a top of the line bike model with complete duraace di2 and also top of the line dt swiss wheels with dt 180 hubs for 7700, every other company out there will usually be offering rival or ultegra at that price point without carbon bar or sub par wheels, I think the bike industry has a lot of catching up to do and need to do something to compete with canyon in terms of pricing because right now they have that edge, I think if the industry gets close within realm of it you can compare the tradeoffs to it and more debates would happen but right now it is hard for anyone looking at a bike right now not to have a canyon model at the top of there list because of budget alone

[@bitminerbob6731]

Great value bike!!! They no longer offer these bikes at this price point, or they're no longer available in my country, Australia. I bought last year's Aeroad CFR (AUS$10,900.00) and was almost tempted to go with the Endurace CFR instead, which was around the same price but they didn't have the Endurace in XL.

[@lukasb.5679]

As a Scott dealer you should know that the 2025 Scott Addict 10 is 6500 USD /€. You even have some money left to buy a decent Power Meter. There are some competitors in this price range, that are not consumer direct brands like Canyon.

[@SDK2006b]

@@lukasb.5679- Canyon sell lower end carbon bikes too. This Canyon CFR is their special light weight carbon frame - it’s a tier above the Scott Addict 10 😊

[@KitGustavsson-s2r]

@@lukasb.5679well, what is the weels and components on that Scott? Would be surprised if it is dura ace and equal wheels

[@9023gregb]

I was riding an XL Cannondale and bought a M Canyon and it fits me like a glove. Canyon make beautiful bikes regardless of price.

[@GCPerformance18]

thats crazy, how tall are you, this sizinng is new to me, if i was to buy one I would assume i am a large being 6 foot but I am second guessing now

[@damu6678]

​@@GCPerformance18 They have a sizing chart on their site when you choose a bike and it's by both height and leg inseam measurements

[@gravelDave]

I'm a medium on Specialized but XS with Canyon.

[@9023gregb]

@@GCPerformance18 6 ft with a 33 inseam. I bought a Grail so the reach geometry might be a little different than the Endurance. I read every reddit post and internet forum and it's pretty consensus their online size calculator is correct.

[@MarkQueitzsch]

Large 2023 Canyon Endurace CF SLX 7 Di2 owner here. 6'2 (188cm) and 34" (87cm) inseam. Bike fits me perfectly. I also love the adjustable bar width. Rode it for a year thinking that 40mm was the narrowest, then watched a video that got me wondering, and sure enough, it could go to 38cm. Adjusted them to that and it's great! Also removed all the spacers.

[@laurenz323]

Great deal but has its cons. -21mm internal wheels (not light) -can't change stem length -shimano powermeter

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea every bike comes with cons

[@laurenz323]

@GCPerformance18 i would go for sram on a canyon. For the gravel at least bc then you get the new zipp 31 internals and a working PM

[@diehardbikes]

21mm internals definitely does not mean it's heavy. These particular wheels aren't particularly light, certainly not for your weight weenie, but certainly nothing to complain about, as they are right about 1500 grams. Thats decent enough. Weight isn't the goal of this bike anyways. Even so, you saw it came out to 16 pounds, which is lighter than most!

[@laurenz323]

@@diehardbikes and i thought wider is lighter. At the end you buy a high end bike where is would never go for dt swiss. There are better options. But its still a good wheel, sure

[@marshallalexander4329]

That's a helluva buy! 12 speed Dura Di2 with a power meter, DT Swiss 180 hubs (full ceramic), a one piece bar stem, and a wide tire clearance - now that's music to my ears. So it's basically a Specialized SL8 at 50% off. Talk about bonkers! Lighten it up with titanium hardware and carbon thru axles if you must. Other upgrades I'd consider down the road are a ceramic bb and pulleys. Personally if I lived in Florida I'd go with more of an aero bike for fast straight line speed (no mountains and everything is flat). But, you're half way there as that bike has internal routing and an aero bar. One thing no one has mentioned is 32 to 35mm tires are excellent for gravel racing. And that's the hidden bonus with this bike. But, most folks won't go there and that's fine. But, if you do then this bike is going to take you to new locales.

[@KurtisPape]

1 day we will see dropper posts on endurance road bikes. Sounds pointless for a road bike but I have seen many benefits like: easier to get on off the bike, low centre of gravity for downhill gives much better control, more grip and an extremely aero dynamic position similar to sitting on the top tube. Also the bike packs down easier into a car. Last of all you can get the seat out of the way when standing up and pedalling, meaning you can lean back more for more power.

[@perfectzero84]

I’m 5’11 and was recommended a size small for my Canyon Grail and it fits me nicely.

[@GCPerformance18]

thats crazy those are crazy recommendations but i guess it works with there geo for the bike, they do a good job on those recommendations out there then

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

That's mental.

[@royanderson3478]

Seat post showing 7-9 inches is the golden rule ✨️ 👌 🤣 Better comfort and looks pro 👌

[@Sarncho]

I'm the same height, calculator said with small or medium, I went with small. Glad I did based on reach otherwise medium would've been too long.

[@CycleXplorer]

Yeah they come up big

[@PaulJennings123]

It looks quite similar to a Merida Scultura Endurance.

[@Snicker60515]

I have continued to hold a flame for Canyon even 3 years after buying my Roubaix and I always will. The very fact you can still buy an Endurace with Shimano 105 mechanical is amazing. God I still want one, bad!

[@GCPerformance18]

yea they seem to have a price for every market

[@markwright8030]

Hi GC PERFORMANCE Great job on your video as always 👍 great spec for the price point great looking bike too 🚴‍♂️👍

[@manuelrabelo6780]

Grant, hoping he can get that silly top to cover back on during the video!😂

[@abhimawa1]

The wheels are perfect especially for endurance. Why go light if you must sacrifice durability & safety

[@future62]

You don't have to sacrifice durability and safety for lightness.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

I wonder who a large is made for, if a small is for a 5' 11" person.

[@snoooozer]

I'm 5'9" and it felt absurd ordering an XS from Canyon but it fits great. Very weird sizing.

[@DanTuber]

@@snoooozer i'm 5'8" and have a small Ultimate. Fits me fine. Maybe 1cm bit long but you can adapt.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea that is weird

GC Performance: “I am SHOCKED By CANYON BIKES!” Canyon: “Well, next time, read the manual, and remove the battery first”

[@GCPerformance18]

lmao

[@markusseppala6547]

I wonder if the top tube gets filled by water in heavy rain, the box doesn't look waterproof.

[@MarkQueitzsch]

I've not had mine out in driving rain, but I just had a look and the top tube has an internal raised ridge around it. No rubber skirt around it or the lid though.

[@Raymond-Farts]

I got a money tree in the back yard. Let me run out there and see if it's bloomed $7600.

[@GCPerformance18]

shit if it does please send me some too lol

[@TimProctor4323]

I actually do have a money tree. Unfortunately it is guarded by my wife😅

[@galenkehler]

Imagine spending 8 grand US on a bike and it's not even compatible with 13 speed. Now that wheeltop has fully adjustable gears, shimano is basically obsolete

[@3ull]

$7000 can get you a great motorcycle.

[@thejeffinvade]

Bike industry can't get their sizing to make sense. They should name their 52cm bikes medium. I am 5'10, 178cm. Logic dictates If I get a size medium T-shirt, I should get a size medium bike. 51/52cm bike fits me better than a 54, but no bike brand call their 52cm bike medium. Different brands have different sizing recommendations, some just flat out wrong.

[@GCPerformance18]

I mean I am pretty use to small 52 medium 54 large 56 but I am not use to a 5 11 guy being on a 52 it doesnt sound right to me lol

[@thejeffinvade]

@@GCPerformance18 I been to two different bike fitters because my insurance covers it as physical therapy. They all recommend size 52 to me. Regular sizing is way too large. It's always better to fit a 12cm stem with a small bike than 8cm stem on a medium frame. It handles better, and small frame is lighter. And 52cm bike usually comes with 170cm crank, which is much better than 172.5cm for me on top of the pedal stroke. But I still changed them to a 165cm crankset for a even better fit.

[@ccbanger1414]

Cube bikes are value for money.Canyon are becoming overpriced

[@KGrant88]

Yea, that's an amazing deal. No reason others can't do the same.

[@GCPerformance18]

[@Rusty-Metal]

Let's be honest... Most men can't fathom being told they need a SMALL. I've seen small guys on larges. It's absolutely comical. Most dudes need a medium and are always on a large with enduring wrist and hand pain they just can't get their little ego to figure out.

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

I don't think its ego mate, bike sizing is just confusing. I had a 54 Tarmac and i thought it was good, now i got a 54 Supersix Evo and i feel it's too big. 🤷‍♂️

[@DanTuber]

Canyon's small is equal to a medium in other brands. The founder was very tall, hence the larger than normal bike sizes.

[@2001lednar]

Brah, please stop touching those rotors.....

[@GCPerformance18]

yea I will blame them on the dt swiss wheels for sure and also those tires lol

[@justsomedude7556]

Too bad Shimano's PM is garbage. That is just a useless add of weight. Lovely bike outside of that.

yea they are not good by anymeans, they are hit or miss i have majority of them always fail for customers but also I have seen some customers have no issues with them hopefully he gets lucky lol
