1stpick, vitus, 2ndsynapse, 3rdDomane, 4thCaledonia, 5thcanyon, 6thMerida. I'm looking for an endurance bike by the end of the year. thanks for sharing.

[richcrompton]

Venon all the way for me. Best value and interesting frame geometry bringing the best of endurance and race angles and measurements. It’s on the shortlist for a purchase soon!

[MrPotatoYouTuber]

Cannondale Synapse Carbon 4. All the goodness without anything integrated. Upgraded to carbon wheels, and 2X GRX groupset making it great for light gravel as well.

[davidstaunton]

I have a 2018 synapse hi-mod and it’s bloody brilliant! 7.4kg with the stock wheels, power meter and 11 speed etap - fits 35mm tyres for gravel and I have taken it everywhere and it’s plenty fast enough for a KOM on strava! The current model is a major step down for me, absolutely too fussy and unnecessary.

[Quizmate]

Fully integrated and proprietary this, that and the other. Turning me into a bloomin' Luddite.

[markbyrne]

I'll stick with my 2015 canyon cf endurance with kyrsim sl's rim brake bike that weighs 7.7kg and is an absolute rocket.
I had a 2020 giant defy 105 disc and it was a nice bike but boring to ride. I also had a few issues with the disc brakes and needed a replacement back wheel.
Sold it and bought the 5 year older canyon and the canyon is nearly 2kg lighter, faster and way more fun to ride. They have over complicated bikes now and made them heavier yet much more expensive so I'll stick to my canyon.

I previously owned and loved a Cannondale Synapse, but their integrated tech is a turn-off to me. I'd much rather have third-party lights, etc., that can more easily be replaced after a couple of years. I love the looks of the new Canyon Endurace, which seems to hit the sweet spot of blending weight, aero, and comfort considerations. But I'd much rather have mounts for a top tube bag instead of that tiny storage compartment that looks like it would be very fiddly to try to open and close while riding. Maybe they could release an accessory replacement cover with mounts built in so you get the best of both.

[MichaelSimony]

I have det old Synapse, from 2015. So I will want with the new version of Synapse. It is a great bike.

[roberttab]

Scott addict 20 2018 :) rim brake. There are little road bikes that saw so many types of roads as my addict. 28 mm tyres.
I can go everywhere with it, without having to spend a fortune.

[monkmchorning]

Scott Addict. But the Defy and Synapse would make my short list.

[wanderingjim]

You missed my favorite, Salsa Warroad.

[MrEckic]

I am totally happy with my Look optimum 765

[krakatoa]

I have a Dolan e'tape carbon frame with Campag record 9 speed transmission, .Zonda wheels with 25mm Vittoria tyres. I love it.

[SimonCurrey]

GT grade carbon elite. I run a 11 36 cassette. Affordable carbon bars with gel inserts. MKS urban pedals with Zefal nylon quarter clips. SKS speedrocker. I suspect its more versatile and more affordable than most of the above. Final mention is Maxxis receptor / rambler / ravager and spare front wheel.

[clew]

Too bad Cannondale does not have a hi-mod Synapse without the mandatory light/radar system. Also, does the Domane really need the rear suspension with the current trend of wider tubeless tires? The new Endurace looked interesing, but if riding can't help but think of the battery cover of my remote when looking at the downtube (which is frequent). The Endurace is also heavier than the prior iteration. If only Specialized would offer an Aethos with endurance geometry!

[jambo]

I'd have easily thrown the Cube Agree c:62 in here, best endurance bike I've ridden.

[savagepro]

Thanks! I'll have the 4:56. Simple!

[brady_biz]

I think the Cannondale front light and cabling looks clunky

[realekm]

Correction guys. The bike used in the Paris Roubaix is not the SLR, it’s the Domane RSL. It’s faster than the SLR and more aero.
