Canyon Endurance CF SLX Disc 8.0

Autocorrect has a habit of replacing Endurace with Endurance, which is grammatically understandable, and a correct description of this bike’s intentions.

The frame’s straight lines look very workmanlike, the down-tube and fork legs have Kamm Tail profiles (shortened, or cut off tail), the seat-tube too, but because of its curve around the rear wheel and need to match the round seatpost higher up, it’s much less so. The slab-sided head-tube is braced by the flattened and tapering top-tube that ends with slim, lowered seatstays buttressing their junction with the front triangle.

Rather than tall, rectangular chainstays, the Endurace features asymmetric, almost square ones, designed to work with the slender seatstays and Canyon’s 27.2mm VCLS 2.0 split carbon seatpost to maximise compliance. The post is also curved to flex more freely, giving 20mm setback, but this can be reduced by flipping the head around. The fork legs look almost dainty compared to the frame, unlike the one-piece integrated carbon aero bar and stem.

Air Apparent - Pollution hasn't gone away. It's still there in every lungful, even if we can't see it in the air or on the news. But there are reasons to breathe easier, thanks to pioneering projects using cycling 'citizen scientists'. Rob Ainsley took part in one...

The toxic effects of pollution have been known about for years. 'Just two things of which you must beware: Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!' sang 1960s satirist Tom Lehrer.Over recent decades, though, pollution has dropped down our list of things to worry about, thanks to ominously capitalised concerns such as Climate Change, AI, Global Conflict, Species Collapse, etc. That doesn't, unfortunately, mean the problem has expired. Air quality often exceeds safe limits, with far-reaching and crippling effects on our health.
