Which do you want: a fast aero bike or a comfortable bike that soaks up choppy bumps? Canyon is betting that at least a few riders want both in one bike, and the new Endurace CFR combines the race geometry and aero shaping of its Aeroad race bike with 35mm tire clearance and comfort touches like an aero post that flexes 25% more than a normal aero post. Canyon hosted a few of us in the media to test ride the new bike in Belgium over some of the famous Flemish cobbles and bergs. In a convenient turn of fate for Canyon's marketing staff, Mathieu Van der Poel won E3 on the new bike the Friday the media event was held.
