First Look: The Canyon Endurace AllRoad Checks All the Boxes For Under $1,500

The pricing isn't quite as aggressive in the US as it is elsewhere, but the new Endurace AllRoad checks all the boxes at an impressive price point.

Canyon has introduced the Endurace AllRoad, a versatile drop-bar bike that blurs the lines between road and gravel, without blowing up your budget. Priced at just $1,499 in the U.S. (or £949/€999 in the UK and EU), the Endurace AllRoad aims to give beginners and commuters a capable, futureproof platform that doesn’t cut corners.

Built around an aluminum frame and carbon fork, with hydraulic Shimano CUES brakes and 40 mm tire clearance, it offers a surprisingly refined ride for the price. It’s available now and will be Canyon’s most accessible endurance-oriented model yet.

Build details

The Canyon Endurace AllRoad features a solid, durable build kit despite its entry-level price tag. It has an aluminum frame as one would expect, with clean internal cable routing through the downtube. Its carbon fork helps shave weight and dampen road chatter. Canyon lists a size medium build at 23.6 pounds (10.7 kg), with the fork weighing just 700 g. That’s no featherweight, but competitive among bikes at this price.

The Shimano CUES 2×10 drivetrain provides a solid mix of range and reliability, using a 50-34T crankset paired with an 11-39t cassette. Even more importantly, Canyon equips this model with hydraulic CUES disc brakes, a feature rarely seen at this price point. Modulation and stopping power are a big upgrade from mechanical alternatives.

Wheel-wise, the bike comes with tubeless-compatible Alexrims alloy rims laced to Shimano hubs and Schwalbe G-One Comp 35 mm tires. Canyon says there’s clearance for up to 40 mm rubber with room for fenders, which adds versatility for commuting, light touring, or swapping in more aggressive tires for weekend dirt detours.

There are mounts for a rear rack and fenders, although Canyon’s included mudguard design does require a proprietary mounting kit (available for €40). Still, Canyon says other fenders may fit, even if they haven’t been officially tested.

Frankly, all of this looks quite good. Pricing in the US and Canada isn’t quite as impressive as the sub-€1000 price in Europe, but the bike still manages to check the boxes in a way we can certainly appreciate.

The Endurace AllRoad comes in seven sizes (2XS to 2XL) and is designed with a fit-forward endurance geometry. Reach and stack measurements scale appropriately, with crank lengths increasing from 170 mm up to 175 mm on larger frames. Handlebars also range from 400 to 440 mm, again based on frame size.

This is a stable, do-it-all platform rather than an aggressive race bike. It’s designed to feel planted on rough tarmac and smooth fire roads while remaining agile enough for weekend group rides. With internal routing and clean welds, it also looks the part, especially in raw silver or deep purple.

Builds, specs, and pricing

Canyon keeps things simple with the Endurace AllRoad: there’s just one spec and two color options. That keeps pricing lean and manufacturing streamlined. The lone model retails for $1,499 in the U.S., £949 in the UK, and €999 across the EU. It ships with a Shimano CUES 2×10 drivetrain, alloy cockpit, carbon fork, hydraulic disc brakes, and quality finishing kit.

Sales begin June 20, and the bike is available directly through Canyon.com. Considering how competitive the $1,000-$1,400 segment is, the Endurace AllRoad looks well-positioned to challenge more expensive rivals on versatility and performance, without forcing first-time riders to stretch their budgets.

With clear design influence from Canyon’s carbon Endurace models and specs that punch above its weight, this entry-level endurance bike is built to last and ride far, no matter your starting point.
