Trying and buying a canyon

I said above, I think they are stock clearing for the 2016 models

Nice choice on the Ti

They have a large range of bikes and I think they have one model in 54cm. It is quite astounding how many models are totally sold out. I cant see how they run a business like that.

Personally I think its the best way to run a business . They have a good reputation and make quality bikes . They sell them all and make more for next year with some tweaks .

And they don't flood the market which keeps them desirable and with cachet, unlike some brands

@TheYoungster The Canyon 2016 bikes are online - at least for the Endurace. I just ordered a CF 8.0.

The endurance di2 seems good value at £2100 too.

I did drool over that, but decided to be good. I have decided that groupsets can wait for a later date when di goes fully wireless.

Quite right vickster..

read a review of an Ultimate CF only last week which stated that Ultimate CF & CF SLX are being changed for next year, probably same with Endurace, running stock down for the big push on the new model year.

I see the new 2016 range is out. Are all the Endurance CF frames the same from top of the range to the bottom of the range? Is this the same case as well for the Ultimate CF frames?

The frames will be the same.

The 2016 Endurace is pretty much exactly the same as the 2015 version - from what I can tell the saddle is the only difference.

Also available in di2 which is nice

All CF frames are same CF SLX is different using different grade carbon & is lighter in both frame & fork.

September's Cycle Active has a review of the Ultimate CF SLX Team Movistar.

I'm a bit confused by Canyon. When I spec'd the Rose I wanted to also consider them against it, but I couldn't get the Endurance with Disc brakes & Di2. Therefore Rose were never even challenged.

However I knew that in 2016 Canyon would catch up, but looking at their '16 bikes I still can't see one with Disc Brakes and Di2. Very strange.

I hope the 2016 Endurace will be announced at Eurobike, I have had my eye on an Endurace for a while, I just hope they stick with rim brakes on at least some models.

why the rim brakes only - genuine question btw

I have existing wheel sets that rim braking, so don't want to reinvest. Plus, I am fairly confident that the next few years will result in an explosion of road discs brakes and New standards in thru axel wheels, so don't want to jump on the wrong horse. Finally, although having decent hydraulics on my MTBs, I have never felt the need on my road bikes
