I’ve got a 2022 CANYON AEROAD CFX salsa. I had the CANYON branded Garmin mount w light, magnet attachment. I’ve lost the light but also wasn’t that happy with it so need replacement.

What are people running? Mount options and light. Want bulk lumens and modes

Looking to buy my first "real" bike. Came across canyon after doing some research. I like going fast/don't want a city bike, but I find comfort to be one of the most important things, so the endurace line should be the go to.

Now I'm stuck between some choices

- endurace CFR di2 for €6000 instead of €9000 (pretty sure this is overkill for someone like me who wants to start a new hobby, but it's the top of the line / no need for upgrades in the future). Can't complain about that discount as well, but the maintenance will probably be a lot more than the other 2

- endurace CF 7 Di2 LTD: this is the "budget" option if you can even say that. Carbon frame and carbon wheels with the shimona 105 DI2. Retail €3200

- endurace slx 7 Di2: this is the model between the CFR and cf LTD. Pretty much the same bike as the cf 7 DI2 LTD, but has some upgrades such as a "better" carbon frame (don't know if that really matters for someone like me / an amateur), an integrated tool bag in the frame and an adjustable steering wheel (also don't know if that's a big factor). This retails for €3999

Some of my coworkers even tried to convince me me to go with the endurace onfly CF 6 (electric motor) for €4300 because I'm an amateur / just a hobby and the electric motor will be nice when climbing or when the wind is holding you back / getting fatigued. But the extra yearly maintenance costs and knowing that sooner or later you'll have to replace the motor (600-900€ repair) is worth it...

I'm also 27, 193cm, I'm currently not in the greatest shape (not fat but your average guy) but that's the reason why I want a bike, to get back in shape

What would you chose / are the more exspensive bikes worth it or will someone like me nor noticed the difference / not worth it for an amateur?

Thanks for your insights

Hi seeking advice - I’m thinking about getting the endurance CF7 - I’m 5’9 / male / 30-31” inseam and I’m on the border of fitting a small or medium canyon bike per their size guide. Anyone also similar dimensions as me and have an opinion between small/medium?

With the new release of the Endurace it’s what I’ve wanted in a new bike. Large tire clearance, aero features and maintaining an aggressive geometry.

Problem is I know canyon is all in on their integrated cockpits.

I’ve grown to really like my current setup with a traditional 1 1/8 round stem and alloy pursuit bars (I really like the 100mm reach).

I’m not exactly familiar with the headsets canyon comes with. It looks like every stock photo of an Aeroad or Ultimate had the integrated bar.

Does Canyon supply dustcaps or spacer adapters to accommodate traditional round stems? I also realize the cables will be routed externally under the stem and I’m fine with that. (I’d actually prefer it because I do my own maintenance and sometimes swap out bars depending on racing)

I have Aeroad. And I was wondering what people are using as a travel case. I tried buying one yesterday but the bag was not compatible with my bike. 🫤

Hi Everyone,

I've been running my Canyon Endurace Al6 for over a year now, bought it with little to no knwoledge about bikes.. It's an alu frame, tiagra groupset and DT Swiss alu wheels..

I upgraded the wheels to carbon EliteWheels, and riding just feels smoother and faster and been considering upgrading the rest.. and i'm stuck with 2 options:

- Keep the frame and upgrade the groupset only

- Upgrade the whole frame for a newer version but Canyon doesn't offer the option without wheels..

Any insight about what would the best option be ? Any other options are welcome too !

For information:

- I weigh around 95kg (and still going down from 104)

Fastest 100km: 3h30 and PB on 1h: 31km

- I usually do Olympic size triathlons,

thanks evreyone. !
