Canyon Endurace CF 5 + future CUES 2x11 = insane value
The new Canyon Endurace CF 5 with CUES honestly seems like insane value.
What makes it really interesting: Shimano is bringing 2x11 CUES parts including an 11-45 setup to market soon.
Since the CUES shifters apparently support both 10 and 11-speed LINKGLIDE, upgrading the stock bike could theoretically only require:
cassette
rear derailleur
chain
while keeping the crank, Front derailleur + shifters.That means you could run:
50/34 + 11-45
with a massive:
~602% gear range.
Basically:road bike top speed but climbing gears similar to GRX 1x12 40t + 10/51.
Seems almost perfect as a do-it-all bike for:Road, bikepacking, alpine climbs, light gravel
Question: How much tire clearance does the new Endurace CF REALLY have in real life?
Does anyone know if 42 mm fit?
