Beginner looking for a Endurance Road Bike - Canyon Endurance CF 5
I’ve done a couple of half-marathons and now I’m looking to start cross-training, with the long-term goal of doing a triathlon.
I’m a complete beginner when it comes to cycling, so I’m starting from scratch and trying to choose my first proper road bike. I recently came across the Canyon Endurace CF 5 (around €1,699), which seems to fit my budget and use case.
A couple of questions:
Does this bike make sense for a beginner aiming for triathlon training?
Is it a good value choice at this price point, or should I be looking at alternatives?
Since Canyon is direct-to-consumer, I’m not sure how to test or size it properly. I’m based in Paris—are there any places or ways you’d recommend to try similar bikes or get sizing advice before ordering?
Any tips for getting started with cycling (gear, training, common beginner mistakes) would also be appreciated
