I had a catastrophic failure on my old bike on Monday, so I was pretty stoked to see a new color I actually like available from canyon in the US. Aero drops are nice. I need to install the longer stem piece and it will be all sorted.
Just found this bike at my local goodwill listed for $1,000. Is this a deal? Having trouble identifying the exactly model to know for sure. Any help would be super appreciated!
Hard to do this colour justice in photos, it's pretty special!
New Ultimate CF SLX 7 purple punch
Dear fellow Canyoneers,
I just ordered my Aeroad CF SLX 8 in the crystal white color. The blue kaze and the metallic acid color aren’t my cup of tea, so I went with the crystal white.
However, all white looks a bit dull to my taste, so I was wondering if someone of you added some colored foil
/wrap or decals/stickers to your bike? My current bike is a black and white Ultimate and I really like the paint job.
Thx! :)
I got thru axles with undetachable levers that have a hex on the other side. If I want to tighten the axle with a torque wrench I would need to remove the plastic cap. However that plastic cap is glued on so I don't suppose it's intended to be put on and off. It also looks pretty ugly with the cap off since there is no paint job underneath. Any suggestions?
Saw this today. Should I be worried?

What kind of lighting setup do you use for your bike? Looking for something to fit my newly ordered Grail SLX. Prefering clean look. What options do you guys have on your bikes?
Photo is a year old but the bikes are still relevant. My wife’s and I’s Canyon Collection. Yes - we are DINKs. We only had one car and this collection is worth more than it.
From L-R:
2024 Endurace CF SLX 7 DI2 AR46 - Wife’s road bike. XXS - most ridiculously light bike we have.
2024 Grizl:OnFly CF9 - wife’s Gravel E bike - honestly coolest bike we have. I’m pretty quick on gravel and she can still put me in the dirt.
2023 Aeroad CF SLX DI2 - old style. in the best color scheme out there. I bought on buycycle across the world - sketchiest purchase I’ve made.
2024 Grail CF SLX 8 ATR - My current favorite bike. Got the Aero bars dialed in and some other upgrades. I’ll make another post.
2021 Grail CF SL 8 DI2 - my first canyon bike. Goofiest handle bars and I don’t miss them. But this bike is an absolute tank. I’ve abused it for 20k miles and still runs like new.
We also bought pathlite on when my wife was just getting into cycling. She outgrew it and sold it - also great bike.
I have previously only ridden steel road bikes. Would like to seek everyone’s opinion if I should go for Endurance CF7 or Ultimate CF7. I’m 173CM tall, like to explore places with hills, don’t mind a bit of discomfort, but would like to use the bike for exploring, training as well as future sports events like duathlons.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Not the latest and greatest, but still pretty quick!
Hey, I'm planning to get my first proper bike and have been looking at a gravel bike, but after being to the canyon shop he recommended me to get a Endurance CF7 and put some gravel tires on it. I will probably be biking 70% on asphalt and rest on gravel, is this a good thought? Really liked the CF 7 when I tested it
I'm 179 cm (5'10.5") tall with an approximately 85 cm (33.5") inseam. For someone with similar measurements, have you gone with a size S or M in the Canyon Endurace?
PS. There seems to be a nice new Aurora Sage color :)
Maybe I’m overthinking this, but Rick’s giveaway Endurace Cf Slx7 Axs has Sram Force and a color that isn’t available to buy. Think it means anything, or is it just a special giveaway build?
Bought this bike a couple months back. Was initially shipped what appeared to be a damaged returned bike. Canyon took accountability and sent me a new bike. Moved into a new house and finally got around to taking her out! Just in time for Seattle to Portland 2026. Cheers!
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
Waited 40 days for the color and oh boy, it was totally worth it.
