The battery is in the downtube, which means removing the BB for any maintenance.
The new little storage compartment is very cool, wish my bike had one.
This is my first CF bike, all steel til now. The low weight is super, but what I like best is the compliance of the whole system. So much of the road bumps, shocks and rattles are absorbed. I'm sure the C'dale will be similar.
I agree the Endurace is a very comfortable, totally rattle free ride. I have the eTap version of your bike. I think it’s the combination of modern 30c tyres and well-damped carbon contact points that make it. My Giant Defy is slightly less refined with alloy bars and stem, but otherwise very similar level of compliance.
