Canyon Endurace

Get In There

I'm considering the above model but the sizing is throwing me off. My bike fitter recommends a size S, the geometry chart has me at size M and the rep on canyon chat first said M then S later which only made me more confused.

Anyhow- if anyone in North Dublin/Meath area owns a Endurace in size M, would you kindly let me jump on the bike for a minute just to see how it is for size?

Apologies for being so forward and very hopeful!

Not sure if it is any good to you but have one in Athlone if you are in the area.

Thanks Alm, I may revisit your kind offer if an offer from an Endurace owner in Dublin/Meath doesn't materialise.

Hi,

I work in the city centre and live northside of Dublin city if that's any use to you.

For what it's worth I have the medium Endurace and my measurements are approximately the following:
Height 181cm
Inseam 83cm

I'm no expert, but the medium size seems ok to me. I contacted Canyon who said I was on the cusp between small and medium, but for comfort the medium would be better, especially as there would be very little seat post extension on the small, which would mean less "give" in the seat post.

If location suits please let me know. Either way best of luck with the decision.

Likewise, I work in the St. Stephen's Green area and have a medium if you want to have a look.

Mine will be going up for sale in the next few days - keep an eye on the adds subforum if secondhand would suit.

Edit: Like you, I fell between two sizes and initially ordered the Small as that was what their sizing calculator recommended. When I got it, I realised that it would be too near the limits of its adjustment so I sent it back and got a Medium instead.

Hi
i have a Small size Endurace, i am 174cm, short legs long reach, had to swap the 100mm stem for a 120mm but that sorted everything (canyon will do the swap for free within a certain time limit), based in Leixlip. as mentioned above the seat post has certain limits if it is the VCLS gizmo type

Hi everyone thanks for your posts and for your willingness to let me jump on your bikes for size.

After having jumped on Skinnyskeleton's bike, I pretty much straight away put in an order for a size M canyon Endurace CF bike.

It's now a matter of playing the waiting game, eagerly anticipating delivery!

Once again thanks for your posts guys!

Also looking at one of these in aluminium, are they a comfortable bike for long distances. Looking at this a Caad 12 and a Rose Pro SL.

CAAD is quite racy, no? more a race than endurance geometry?

Gotta be the CAAD12. If even just half the reviews are even just half accurate then they're the best bike for the money by far.

- I don't have one, but.... I'd have one. (If you know what I mean ).
