Canyon Endurace CF SL 7.0
This is available on the US Canyon website for 2 grand. I wish they had an Ultegra version but still seems like a good buy. Anybody have experience with this bike, or the Endurace CF SL frame in general? How do you like it?

@topslop1 recently got one and it'll likely be on my radar in the spring.

They should be getting their Ultegra bikes on the site before long as they are waiting for shipments from Shimano.

Canyon is great and all, but not the only online value brand around.

$425 less expensive and it comes with hydraulic brakes. Oh, and a better gear setup for most riders. It does weigh a whopping 3oz more though.

Or this is the same price as that Canyon bike and would wprk if you arent tall. It is a full Ultegra drivetrain, hydraulic brakes instead of mechanical, and weighs 1.5# less too.

Diamondback is great and all, but isn't the only other online value brand around. Over $500 less than the DB with full Ultegra hydraulic.

The Dback bike pricing is based on the company's free to all discount site. Same thing exists with Raleigh. It isnt some secretive deal or anything like that. At full listed retail price, neither bike is an excellent value.

That DB Century 5 is at $1994 on the discount site. Pretty good really, however they only have one size available. Also, it comes with 6800 Ultegra not 8000. I'd wait until Canyon and DB get their bikes with 8000.

I have a canyon ultimate CF SL (not X). The different should only be the geometry fo the frame. I am very pleased with it. For me, the Canyon frame and paint job (font style) is million miles better than the dback I saw from the replies here. The overall feel of Canyon is quite minimalist which is quite modern and world trendy. The dback, just the look of it feels like it is in 2000. Of course the price difference reflects the style difference.
