The cycling world is buzzing with excitement as Canyon, one of the most innovative bike manufacturers, makes its grand entry into the e-road bike market with the Endurace:ON. This new electric road bike combines Canyon’s renowned endurance geometry with cutting-edge motor assistance, offering riders the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and versatility.
In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into:
Let’s get rolling!
Canyon has built a reputation for delivering high-performance bikes at competitive prices, often shaking up the industry with direct-to-consumer sales. Until now, the brand has focused on traditional road, gravel, and mountain bikes, but the Endurace:ON marks its first foray into electric road bikes.
E-bikes have exploded in popularity, especially in commuting and mountain biking. However, e-road bikes have been slower to catch on—partly due to weight concerns and purist road cyclists resisting motor assistance. But trends are shifting:
With the Endurace:ON, Canyon is targeting riders who want extra assistance without sacrificing road bike feel.
The Endurace:ON is based on Canyon’s popular Endurace platform, known for:
Despite the added motor and battery, Canyon has kept weight relatively low at around 15-16 kg, depending on the model.
Instead of opting for heavy, high-power motors like Bosch or Shimano EP8, Canyon chose Fazua’s Ride 60—a lightweight, discreet mid-drive system designed specifically for road bikes.
The motor provides three assist modes (Breeze, River, Rocket), with a max assist speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) to comply with EU regulations.
Unlike bulky e-bikes, the Endurace:ON hides most of its electrical components:
At first glance, it looks like a traditional road bike—perfect for riders who don’t want an obvious e-bike aesthetic.
Canyon offers the Endurace:ON in two models:
Both models come with hydraulic disc brakes and wide tire clearance (up to 35mm), making them suitable for light gravel as well.
Early reviews suggest the Endurace:ON delivers a natural, road-like feel with just the right amount of assist.
✅ Feels like a traditional road bike (not overly heavy or sluggish)
✅ Smooth, quiet motor assistance (Fazua is known for its refined power delivery)
✅ Great for long rides & climbing (helps reduce fatigue without dominating the ride)
✅ Removable battery for charging flexibility
❌ Limited top speed (25 km/h) (may feel restrictive for fast group rides)
❌ Not the most powerful e-bike (riders wanting strong assist may prefer a heavier system)
This bike is ideal for:

The e-road bike market is still niche, but here’s how the Endurace:ON stacks up:
