Canyon Endurace or Ultimate

[Drago]

Retul didn't do the job for me... close, but no banana. And fit aside, it won't tell you if youll like the feel of the machine, the way it rides, or it dynamic characteristics.

Go for it, but after buying my Carve a few years back on the strength of reviews and opinion and then not really being happy with it, I wouldn't advise anyone buy a bike they've not ridden. If you're looking at Canyon then the likelihood is that VFM is high on the list, which ironically makes it all the more important to try one.

Plenty of people luck out and get something they're happy with, just remember that some don't.

@Drago, you are aware that test riding Canyon's is a bit tricky don't you?

 

[Drago]

Yep, that's why I haven't bought one.

I know I shouldn't but I want the Canyon, probably the Ultimate, and so I am gonna have to take a punt on it. Cheers for the warnings. Appreciate where your coming. Will let you know if I made the right decision.

Can just see it now '' We told ya so ''

 

[vickster]

What is your height & leg length @wam68 if you don't mind ? Just out of interest *in case I go for a Canyon in future*

I'm 6'2" tall and inside leg of 33''. Having checked their PIPS system and then communicating with them via E mail the Large frame seemed the ideal one. Will let you know when I get it if I was right. The company does seem very organised .

Also consider Rose. Name is a bit naff but cracking bikes for the money. I was set on a Canyon next but i think Rose has me!

I'm thinking about rose too.
Do you know how long they take to deliver ??

I spoke to Rose directly about the bike I wanted specifically and that said 5 - 6 weeks.

I like them. They seem nice, light and uncluttered.

I hate the graphics on a lot of bikes these days, they just look a mess! There's something 'minimalist' about Canyons that appeals to me.

I'm considering one for when I eventually get the money together, but I'd really like to try one first, or at least see one.

Do they have a scheme whereby you can send the thing back if you just don't get on with it? They get good reviews though.

I think, of the two, I prefer the Ultimate.
