Back in my day, all road bikes were considered endurance bikes. Some with a aggressive or race fit. And some with a relaxed or touring fit. Those race fit bikes are made to endure 100 - 150 or more miles of riding with no load very fast in a single day. Touring type road bikes were made to endure those long rides with a load equipment and clothes for days away from home.
I don't quite get that. Can you name some bikes with an aggressive/race fit that the manufacturers labeled endurance? And if they did label a bike with an aggressive/race fit an endurance bike, how did that bike differ from the race bikes that they didn't call endurance bikes?
