I’m looking for a new bike but i’m struggling so much to chose between thoses.
I just want having fun, do some cool ride ( not over 150km) and sometimes pushing fast. I’m also thinking about doing an ironman 70.3
I’m quite heavy ( 106kg) right now that’s the issue.
They all have some pros and cons… What do you think ?

Get the 8 di2 for the round handlebar (for aerö extentions)
Get the CF 8 DI2.
Choose one of the Endurances, for ultimate you need to be flexible enough because it’s aggressive geometry
You are looking at a 30 mm higher stack and 15 mm shorter reach on the Endurace compared to the Ultimate. For an endurance bike, the Endurace is a fairly aggressive geometry – you won’t feel slow on it.
I noticed that the G.34 are initially made for gravel bikes. Does it even make a difference what the wheelset is designed for?
The Seatpost on the Endurance CF 8 is for me a no go. The Canyon S15 VCLS 2.0 CF is one of the unique Options you get from Canyon when it comes to comfort.
Oh I haven’t seen a white Ultimate before. It looks neat
Purchased the CF7 G.34 earlier today myself. Quite a confusing line-up they have now but the G.34 seems to have a carbon wheel set as only difference to the other CF7 Di2, which has DT Swiss wheel set.
I personally didn’t see the value of the additional €200 for the CF8 but I’m also a novice, so somebody with more knowledge could correct me on that.
Be mindful of Canyon’s weight limit – they certify their bikes for a maximum system weight (rider + bike + gear) of 120 kg. At 106 kg, once you add the bike itself (~8–9 kg) and accessories, you’ll be very close to that limit. Even if you’re technically within spec, the VCLS seatpost on the Endurace can feel overly springy for heavier riders. I strongly recommend trying the bike in person before buying, it really helped me decide. If you can’t test a Canyon, at least try bikes with similar geometry. Good luck!
Get 8. And keep moving. It’s not that confusing. The components are better. Take a chill pill 💊 one in the morning with breakfast and one at night before bed.
