Canyon Endurace Allroad vs Trek Domane SL 5

“The best buy in a new bike at that price point in the UK is that new Canyon Endurace all road model. Priced right at a thousand quid, it's an aluminum frame, with enough clearance for 38, maybe 40 mm tires, and a full Shimano road Cues groupset with hydraulic brakes. 10 speed, with an 11-39 tooth cassette.”

“Get the Caledonia if you want a more sporty snappy handling endurance bike with a max tire clearance of about 34mm. It'll feel very slightly more aggressive than your domane and the SL5, but it's still an endurance geometry. Get the Domane if you want a more relaxed geometry, and a bike that can do some off-road riding. it's less sporty than the caledonia. Max tire clearance of 40mm so you can take it on some light gravel trails with wider tires. Might even say it's more comfortable both in terms of frame design and geometry. The frame has an isospeed seat tube that allows some more flex in the rear. Geometry wise, it's also more upright and slightly more relaxed. It's basically an all-out endurance bike, meant for long days in the saddle.”
