Paris-Roubaix 2026. A rainy Sunday in northern France. Mathieu van der Poel, Jasper Philipsen, Tibor Del Grosso, they are all looking forward to the Canyon Endurace CFR under their backside. Not just any bicycle, but a Race Monster that combines comfort, speed and robustness like no other. Because on the hellish cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, every watt, every millimetre and every gram counts. It did not lead to the desired result this year. But one could safely say that it wasn't the bike's fault.
Waarom is de Endurance CFR one of the sensations of the season? Because Canyon has invested in two worldsendurance en all-road. A bike that is not only comfortable on long journeys, but also lightning fast on the motorways and indestructible on the cobblestones. And the best part? This bike is now available for you.

From 25 mm to 35 mm
The Endurace is no newcomer. Ever since 2014 set the standard for endurance bikes. But with the arrival of Disc brakes and the Bandwidth revolution A world of possibilities has emerged.
- 2014: The first Endurace CF was praised for its comfort and grip, with 25mm tyres on 18mm rims – a revolution at the time. This was because everyone was still riding on 23mm (and some were still on the old 21mm) tyres back then.
- 2016 and 2023 Grote upgrades maakten de Endurace tot een van de best-selling endurance bikes in the world. Mathieu also had something to do with that. But the sponsorship of the Movistar team and the visibility through other influencers and good cyclists also helped with that.
- 2026: The Endurace CFR goes one step further. With the ability to accommodate up to 35 mm tyres to put, a stiffer frame and a aerodynamic design Given that it can do almost the same as the Aeroad CFR, this is the perfect all-road race bike.
Tested in Paris-Roubaix
Paris-Roubaix is no ordinary race. It is a Test lab where bicycles are exposed to the harshest conditions. And the Endurance CFR has proven himself.
- Stiffness With 115 N/° (against 103 N/° at the Aeroad CFR) this bike is Even stiffer more efficient when accelerating and sprinting.
- Comfort The VCLS Aero seatpost absorbs up to 25% more shocks and a rigid post, without sacrificing speed.
- Robustness Tested on falling mass impacts uit te blinken onder extreme belastingen – deze fiets is gebouwd om te to go where others fail.
“The most important thing for us is reliability. The bike has to be fast, perform well – but above all: safe. We are asking riders to take risks, so the bike has to be reliable.” - Christoph Roodhooft, Alpecin-Deceuninck Team Manager
