Canyon Adds Even More to the Endurace Family
Last month we told you about the overhauled Canyon Endurace CFR, a pro-ready bike that was ready to provide aero performance in a lightweight package. Today we get to tell you about a couple of additional Endurace models Canyon is bringing to market – the CF SLX and the CF. These aren’t just scaled back versions of the top of the line CFR – these are distinct models that bring the Endurace family to four models. There’s an entry level AL, today’s new mid-range CF and the more-than-capable performance model SLX, along with the aforementioned CFR. All are very different, each fitting a niche for riders of any level.
Canyon Endurace CF SLX
While the CFR has a definitive pro feel with an aero profile that rivals Canyon’s Aeroad, the new CF SLX model leans a bit more towards comfort. While still aero, there’s more of an upright fit, increased tire clearance and fender compatibility to provide a nice balance between race-readiness and long days in the saddle.
The more relaxed geometry used for the CF SLX includes a slightly higher stack than on the CFR. That, coupled with a shorter reach than Canyon’s race bikes, leads to that more upright positioning. That doesn’t mean this bike isn’t still aero – the wind tunnel tests showed just 209 watts of drag at 45 kph – that’s only four watts more than the CFR recorded. Comfort is enhanced thanks to the VCLS Aero seat post that boosts vertical compliance by more than 25% compared to a rigid post. Fit is also dialled in even more on the CF SLX thanks to the inclusion of the PACE Bar cockpit, providing 50 mm of width and 20 mm of height adjustment.
Canyon has also improved the storage capacity of the bike – the aero profile of the downtube widens at the water bottle cages to provide an area that can easily house a multi-tool, tube, tire irons and CO2 cartridge without compromising aerodynamics.

Canyon Endurace CF
The CF model looks more like the Endurace you’re used to seeing, featuring an extremely lightweight carbon frame (950 g) that provides lots of performance and comfort. The comfortable ride is improved on the higher end models with the addition of the VCLS 2.0 seat post which provides up to 20 mm of vertical flex. Like the CF SLX you can mount DEFEND Fast Fenders to provide some protection when it gets wet outside. You’ve also got 38 mm tire clearance to give you lots of options on the tire front, which also brings new meaning to the “all road” dynamic of this bike.
