I think you should have noted the Merida Scultura Endurance. It’s a very good bike with amazing value for money, great tyre clearance and mudguard mounts.

I tested and ordered an Enigma Etape after your glowing reviews of it @David. Hoping it will serve as a fantastic endurance bike as well as a good "all seasons" bike

2021 Trek Domane SL5. I've fallen in love with cycling again on this bike. Mostly doing 30 - 60 mile rides on paved roads. Upgrades include 4iiii Dual Power Meter, DT Swiss ER1600 Wheels, Ultegra PD-8000 pedals, Continental Grand Prix 5000 32C tires, and my favorite upgrade is the K-EDGE Pro chain catcher. It's not the fastest or stiffest bike on the market but it cruises for miles in comfort.

If you want to be competitive, then spend the thousands of dollars you'll need to race. Or, if you just want to stay in shape, a heavier bike is going to get you in shape faster than any carbon fiber bike will. It all depends on what you want to get from riding.

One of the best and most popular endurance bikes is Bianchi Infinito. I had a chance to ride this model and fell in love with it. Don't vorget it for your next review. I personally own Colnago Cx Zero from 2014, which is also very comfrtoable, but still with caliper brakes and perhaps with less atractive painting.

Amazing that you made the whole video without once uttering the word gravel. In 2019 when I was shopping, I initially wanted the Giant Defy, but the Revolt was simply a more versatile, affordable and, let’s face it, fun option. It appears now that the Defy has taken on some Revolt features. I expect that bike manufacturers would prefer that these segments not contract lest they lose market share, hence the recent push to reclaim a new sweet spot.

Vote for the Defy. I have the 21 Advanced Defy 1. Can double as a gravel bike as well which is why I got it. Nice features for the price.

Good overview but after comparing parts and design and budget, i bought a Canyon endurance CFL and after 5000km, still very happy. There is always a price to pay for different parts to get the optimal comfort and speed.

Old Trek Domane, with Conti 28's, ....love this bike, runs like a new bike and looks like one too.

I went out to buy a Giant Defy in 2017 (it had won a few Bike of the Year awards).. I had a test ride and it was great .. THEN.. the bike shop said I should try the Trek Domane SL5 while I was there. It took all of about 100 metres for me to buy the Trek. It's next level comfort. Because I was doing lots of long distance Audax riding at the time comfort is everything. The Domane is still the fastest bike I ever owned but, over longer distances, it really comes into its own. because it's fast for longer, without becoming uncomfortable. No, it's not a Road-Racer like the Madone, but I can't make use of the Madone's "Head down, Arse Up" geometry any more.

Thanks for the overview. I know they're not designed as Gravel bikes, but given tyre width (and lower pressure) is probably the cheapest and easiest way to get comfort on a road bike, it would've been good to know what the max. tyre width is for each of these various bikes, rather than just that they have increased clearance for "wider" tyres.

In December I was looking for an endurace bike to replace my GT Grade gravel bike. Was leaning towards Gant Defy but the wait was well into 2022. I found out that store an hour away had an Orbea Orca OMR m30 which is more of a race endurace bike mainly due to handle bar raiser. There was something desirable about orbea for me as I originally wanted one when I got my GT, so I went for it. It's certainly sexier bike than Defy. I don't regret it (but it would have been nice to ride and compare the two) and I actually just replaced the handlebar for the flat one and the bike fits me better now!

I've just bought a BMC RoadMachine01 Five - despite some quality issues (unexpected and unacceptable from a bike at this price range) the bike is awesome. very comfortable (even more if compared with my 'main' Bike, a BMC TimeMachine01 Three).

I’m a big fan of top tube bag attachment points, especially on this type of a bike. They’ll often be ridden for longer periods of time, without the worry of tweaking every last bit of speed out of the situation. A good top tube bag provides easiest access to things like snacks, jackets, and phones (over a saddle or handlebar bag) and attachment points make it look that much more sleek, with fewer points rubbing on the frame. I’d be a big fan of all endurance category bikes adding these sorts of mounts - especially with them being easy to simply ignore if you don’t want to use them.

I would recommend anyone looking for an endurance bike consider the Allied Alfa or the Open MIN.D, at least if you want a bike that no one in your group ride is likely to have. Both have classic geometry, round tubes, are reasonably light and the MIN.D in particular offers great compliance. Neither have any of the tech (or gimmickry, depending on your viewpoint) of the Synapse, Domane or Roubaix. I believe David Arthur reviewed the MIN.D as one of his favorite road bikes a couple of years back. (I would also endorse comments that the Canyon Endurace is probably the Best Buy out in this category. I have ridden my friend’s and it is excellent).

I have looked at the geometry of the Canyon Endurace, and its fork and chainstays, and it looks like a very stiff but also light bike, which the name Endu-race suggest, looks like a race bike with a bit of give, especially from the seatpost, setube combination rather than your usual endurance bike, not sure If I would want it for long distance 100-150km up to 3 days trips. OPEN on the other hand I heard only good things about it, especially their gravel models, I heard dude who designed thei frames was the guy from Cervelo before he left the company. For myself I am looking at Cervelo Caledonia, the one without 5, on Ultegra groupset in Oasis colorway, the dealer near me have one for sell, but also have one on Rival AXS groupset for -10%, but I lean more for Ultegra, also still cheaper than Rival AXS with -10% discount

I chose the 2022 giant defy advance 1..interesting this has the Ultegra groupset with a GRX 810 rear derailer..

I'm still in the 1974's , I bought a 74 Voyageur (Gray) from the original owner. I get the shakes when I see the new bike prices.

I was in the market for a new bike last year, considered the Canyon Endurace, Giant Defy, and Scott Addict. All were very similarly spec with 105 groupset and about $100 usd difference in price. Ended up with the Scott because it was in stock, the other two had several months waiting period.

Not all of us are suited to riding pure road bikes so the geometry of the endurance bike is paramount to us. In that context the fact that a bike brand calls a certain bike endurance is irrelevant as what qualifies a bike as endurance for us is its geometry f.ex stack to reach ratio 1.5+ When you define the category that way a lot of good bikes that others might advocate for do not qualify. Personally I found the Canyon Endurace a great endurance bike but Canyon's failure to update the design with full cable integration especially meant I moved on from it to an Argon 18 Krypton Pro which I had at the top of my endurance bike list and I have not been disappointed ;-)

If you were thinking of spending 4k to get one of these beauties with base spec, think again. Several small shop carbon builders now offer custom build for under 3k, with some offering a lifetime carbon repair incl. Tire clearance galore! Then handpick you're own components, or buy last year's group. Better than paying 4k for a Tiagra equipped '22 Roubaix. BTW, even if you have total heart-meets-head attachment to a carbon model with wider tire clearance, read the warranty fine print carefully. Almost all manufacturers have had to pump the breaks on Gravel vs. Road/Adventure. Warranty docs in 2022 now all distinguish " only to be ridden on smooth pavé. AND if you have a carbon post, your packs over rear wheel must not exceed 10 kg)

Appreciate that I'm possibly an odd one out. I would really appreciate an endurance style frame (with wide clearances and mudguard mounts) but with a longer/lower position, for winter riding. I find the fit of racing bikes more comfortable, but having mudguards and wide tyres are essential for winter.
