Great video! Going for the AL 7 rim brake, such good value, and lighter than the Endurace CF 7! The 105 rim brakes look really decent, and it really seems worth it for the saving on weight AND price. Comes with 25mm tyres, and Canyon confirmed on live chat it will take up to 28mm.
I have one of these and really like it. I use it for commuting in the winter though and although the brakes are solid, I sometimes wish I'd gone for discs just for that extra stopping power and for the option to go greater than 28 tyres. But like I said, it's a really nice bike and I can't really fault it.
I am amazed. Very thought provoking, especially now I am actively considering a new bike before my LEJOG run next May 2023. I shall be spending many hours allowing you to do a lot of my research for me. My current thinking is that hydraulic disc brakes and 32mm tyres are critical to my style of riding, that places extra value on safety and comfort. Thank you for this.
The shorter stem pulls your weight back from the front wheel giving it more nimble handling. They've taken the idea from to modern MTB. Great web site, thank you.
The grizl is super aggressive gravel bike. Its like racy ratio 1.25 ish stack to reach ratio. Not many oldies can handle that for long periods of riding.
It's not solely about weight distribution. Shortening the stem effectively "compresses" the steering angle, and that also contributes to making the handling feel more nimble.
WOW! What a comprehensive review!!! Great!!! Just got myself a Endurace CF SL 8.0 (Mechanical). I was considering the Di2 version as well but the price gap was a bit too large. Now I am waiting for shipment, which should arrive within about a month. Cheers!
Brilliant analysis. Will help me to finalise my new bike for end 2022/2023. Choice between Canyon Endurace and Giant Defy Advanced for my profile. Thank you
The big difference in bike price is often connected to the warranty that comes with the bikes. If you want a lifetime warranty on the frame it cost a bit extra. If you buy Canyon, Scott and other cheap bikes then you only get a couple of years warranty on the frame. Would be great if you could choose to pay for an lifetime warranty if you wish so or not.
THERE'S A VIDEO I'M DYING FOR YOU TO MAKE: every year of the pro peloton's bike fleet since 2000 ranked in terms of overall best and worst looking bikes. which years have been the prettiest and which the most ... interesting? or top few best years and top few worst. cheers!
Bought an old road bike recently. The tires are actually pretty fat, on larger diameter wheels than 700c. The biggest advancements have come in the cockpit imo. Hands hurt like hell after riding that thing for an hour
Yes, you're absolutely right. I bought a 30 year old road bike for commuting last year. This year I got the canyon endurace AL 7 for cycling. The cockpit makes it feel like riding on soft clouds compared to the older road bike.
I'm wondering whether the photos are accurate. I'm looking at the CF SL 8 Disc Di2 which does not come with the aero handlebars pictured in your video, but an alloy set instead.
Do you recommend the Canyon CF SL 8 Ultegra. Thinking that is the bike for me? Was looking at Ribble for a while but I think cost wise the Canyon has more value
I'm getting this one, same reason, great value! Ordered 1st October, just shipped today...beyond excited. Lighter than the carbon frame Endurace CF 7, rim brakes for the win :)
Great video. Been looking at getting one of these. You said you are a size Medium. Do you mind me asking your measurements. I’m 6’1 with 32” leg (roughly measured) and the site says to get a medium. Have a friend into his bikes and he only mentions getting a small bike. Don’t want to feel squashed on one tho
Endurace CF SL 8 Di2 best value all things considered. Although for an endurance bike perhaps a steel one would be better choice. If you arent going to chase any KOMs and will want to spend all day riding, just go for a Rolls Royce
I'm on the market for my first road bike. Would you suggest me to go with the AL 105 and rim brakes or spend a little more and get the disc one ? Ps: Your website is awesome !
I would love to do more with Ribble bikes. The photos on their site from the side view are low quality - I've contacted them several times to get higher res and they say they will send them over - but so far zilch :(
I need some advice. I'm relatively new to cycling as a sport and was planning on getting an endurance bicycle as my first proper road bicycle. After doing much research it came down to getting either the Endurace 7 (Al, 105 GS) or the Endurace CF 7 (105 with some Ultegra). My question is: Is the extra £300 going up to the CF 7 worth the additional cost? I know having lighter materials will slightly improve performance when climbing etc but I'm worried that a 'cheaper' carbon bike frame won't be able to handle a crash (when it enviably happens) compared to aluminium frame just deforming.
Hi! I would definitely say go with the carbon. Higher end carbon bikes aren’t usually more crash-resistant, they’re lighter, stiffer, etc, so I wouldn’t be worried about buying a cheap carbon frame as opposed to an expensive one from a safety perspective. In terms of carbon vs alloy, my guess is that neither bike is a clear-cut choice for surviving on impact. The reason many crit racers often choose aluminum’s isn’t that the bikes are more durable, but that when the inevitable crash happens it’s cheaper to replace. All of that said, given your concerns, i think carbon is the choice. You can’t go too wrong either way though, both great bikes :))
Hey, I’m also pretty new to cycling and a year ago I bought the 2021 endurace AL 7 (105 GS). I’ve loved it so far! it’s been comfortable once you replace the seat and shifts amazing. It’s lighter than the hybrid bike I use to have but when I’ve compared it to a carbon bike you can tell the difference on how light carbon is. I can’t say what the difference in ride quality is but carbon is suppose to be better all around but the Alu frame has been great with handling the average road buzz since it has a carbon form. Honestly if I had the money I probably would’ve gone with the carbon but would’ve been more worried then I already am to scratch it since it will happen hahaha but since I saved money on the alu frame I was able to get nice pedals and a seat fitting to get one that works for me. Let me know what you pick!
Magnifique la vidéo Je souhaite acheter un canyon Endurace CF SL 8 Di2 Je mesure 1,71 m 78cm D’entre jambes J’hésite entre deux taille sx ou s Canyon me Conseil le sx Mais avec une taille 1,72 m Il me conseille le sx ou s Je ne sais pas quelle taille choisir
I would agree that it is very hard to find but it does actually say on the website that the edurace rim brake bike has clearance for up to 28mm tyres. You can find it at /support-articles/max-tire-size-for-canyon-frames.html if that's helpful
Just wanna say your website rocks dude! super useful for us to compare bikes, especially for people very concerned about aesthetics :P
This Channel and your efforts for your Website are Just pure Bliss for Somebody looking for new Bike for this season
Thanks!
Bike asmr is back… and what a nice website!!! Thank you for the work!
Your website is amazing, very innovative, I have never seen something similar. Thank you very much
Endurace CF SL di2 Aero is a fabulous, fast and comfortable bike. Wouldn’t be bothered with the CF SLX for the price differential.
Great video! Going for the AL 7 rim brake, such good value, and lighter than the Endurace CF 7! The 105 rim brakes look really decent, and it really seems worth it for the saving on weight AND price. Comes with 25mm tyres, and Canyon confirmed on live chat it will take up to 28mm.
How is it going? I am probably going to get one shipped pretty soon.
@@b0jang Going really well, upgraded tyres to 28mm Continental GP5000, it's been amazing

Thanks for a new vid! Keep ‘em coming 👍🏻

I love this video, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
Great video again!
Excellent work
Great info. I would appreciate a comparison of aluminium endurance bikes, like the endurance AL, Rose Reveal AL ect.
Your videos are freaking awesome
Very neat tool that you have built, thank you! I think the longer wheelbase of the grizl is meant to stabilize the bike on rougher terrain
Great Review Bikotic
The heart says Willier and the head says Canyon - a great video and website
Wonderful videos, look forward to playing with the website. Thanks 😊
Superb video! Thank you!!!

I have a 2021 Endurace CF SL 8 and love it. Kinda sad I didn’t wait a year to get the power meter thrown in. Nice comparison.
Great website! Thanks for your work.
Just bought a CF 7 for $1,599. Was a website glitch and they gave me the price. A few hours later price changed to $2,199.
I liked it a lot and very good material.
Doing the gods work
Fantastic website. Hope the manufactures will understand the benefit and start sharing the required data with you upon request.
nice this is so informative and really helpful..
Sick Comparator ! pls release it

I'm wondering whether the photos are accurate. I'm looking at the CF SL 8 Disc Di2 which does not come with the aero handlebars pictured in your video, but an alloy set instead.
Can you add the Orbea Orca and Orca Aero bikes if not already done so, thanks.
Do you recommend the Canyon CF SL 8 Ultegra. Thinking that is the bike for me? Was looking at Ribble for a while but I think cost wise the Canyon has more value
Are the fulcrum racing 900 db any good? Do they work well with tubeless?
The one in stock.
Serious, I want to buy inflate , but all models are sold out.
I have to wait till Nov to get the AL 7 Rim. Best value for money
I'm getting this one, same reason, great value! Ordered 1st October, just shipped today...beyond excited.

Can we select another color please?
Can you go over the argon 18 range?
Great bikes - I ride one myself 😁
Love it.
I hope they will integrated the cable to look clean and i hope aethos gonna integrated too
I'm on the market for my first road bike. Would you suggest me to go with the AL 105 and rim brakes or spend a little more and get the disc one ?
Ps: Your website is awesome !
should i buy the 2022 ultimate cf sl range?
Can you do a video comparing ribbles lineup to specialized. In terms of road and gravel
I would love to do more with Ribble bikes. The photos on their site from the side view are low quality - I've contacted them several times to get higher res and they say they will send them over - but so far zilch :(
@@bikotic ask your audience to spam them haha love your vids btw
@@Colin.gallagher haha - thanks!
I admire your work but in this video the audio quality is really poor.
yeh, my bad - I've bought a proper mic so hopefully its going to get better from now on :)
